Hi all,
I am a non immigrant alien, residing in MA from Feb 2010. I am here on a work visa, valid till 2013. I dont have a green card. I wanted to buy a rifle for target shooting purposes only. I am not interested in handguns or concealed carry.
I looked up the Mass laws, it seems I can get a permission to possess a firearm from the Colonel of Police, but am not allowed to buy a firearm in MA. It also seems that under federal laws, if I have a valid hunting permit, I can buy a firearm. (http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/nonimmigrant-aliens.html)
I am thoroughly confused, please help.
Can I get a NH hunting permit and buy a firearm in NH? If not, what are my options?
