UNSC_WARRIOR Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Job, family, friends and language (I'm french). Our gun laws suck but our hunting laws are nice. And I'm only 18 so maybe later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNSC_WARRIOR Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 What do you need to buy a gun in the US? If I had a terrain and an adress in the US but was still living in Canada, would I be able to buy guns in the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 What do you need to buy a gun in the US? If I had a terrain and an adress in the US but was still living in Canada, would I be able to buy guns in the US? Not as a citizen of the US. You'd have to purchase it as alien and have the gun shipped to licensed transfer dealer in your country of origin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNSC_WARRIOR Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yark!! So you need US citizenship to legally buy guns? Do you need to register guns in the US? Transfering guns from the US to Canada is a pain in the *ss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 If you are not going to transfer it, yes, you must be a US citizen. No felony convictions, no drug use, no restraining orders, no mental disorders. Here's the form http://www.atf.gov/forms/4473/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hmmm... perhaps you should read the Non-Immigrant alien section. If they'll let you back into Canada with it, that may be your loophole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNSC_WARRIOR Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) As far as I know, all firearms entering Canada must be registered. I was more thinking of buying a little house in Maine or New Hampshire and leaving the guns at this house. Since I'm only 1 hour from the US border, I could go there once or twice a month and have fun with all this stuff that is prohibited here. Seems like it's not that simple...

tucker301 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Good God, Tucker... how do you know all this stuff? Can you help me with my taxes? Personally, no. But I have a guy in Pennsylvania who can turn the tax codes into sheet music and play any song you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm reading it correctly, all you need to show is proof of ID and a valid hunting license for the State in which you will be using the guns. I'll check into in more depth and let you know.
