Gah So, I bought a handgun this last weekend. It came in to my FFL on Friday, and I went in to do the paperwork on Saturday. The NICS was delayed as usual. Been 3 days now, and not heard back. FFL says, I can come in on Thursday and pick it up.

Thanks! I had to use google translate on that one. Am not from Germany, or of Germanic descent (but my wife is) and says "Alles Gut"!! Thanks for the message though! Cheers!

alles gut now. :) Went in, and picked up the rifle. :)

Yes. I have heard the same. However, I guess the food (3 squares a day) makes up for that!

Agree with this. But, to maintain LPR status, one has to be on the straight and narrow. Any issues, and your LPR can, and will be revoked. They have your A#, one would think that this could be tied in with the NICS, and make things easier. Still no big deal. I can wait a day or two - to pick...

And got the phone call. Cleared. "Come in and get yo firearm."

Cool. Thanks for the info. This happened about 5.30 PM last night. So, am guessing that it should clear out this morning/afternoon. :) It is surprising that they would have to check all this - and one would assume in this day and age, with the technology at hand the process should be faster!

OK, an update. I went in to the local store to look for a gun rest/bench for the wife to sight her rifle in before hunting season. They had a .22 on sale for 100 bucks. I decided to get one, and started the paperwork. Clerk went in to do the NICS check, and came back after about 10 minutes -...

Thanks!! But, times have changed since 1955... or even 1970. I think the conditional GC is something new, and of course the general population has major misconceptions about GC holders (regardless of conditions)... :)

Hermannr: Thanks for the reply. MN is not bad at all for gun laws. :) I think I will be here for the next 2-3 years (as the wife is in school). Citizenship is about 3 years away, so am not too worried about that. There are a few misconceptions about PR/green card status, even with law...

Thanks!! I submitted my Permit to Carry, last night. The lady at the counter said - 1-2 weeks, before I hear back. Permit to Purchase, also costs money in this county (from what little I know) - I think it is 5 bucks or so for each app. Anyway, thanks to one and all for posting here and...

OK! Thanks for the replies guys! I called my local Sheriffs office, and told them my situation. The lady, on the other end, was not sure what "Permanent Resident" meant. She asked me about 4 times - "so, you are not a citizen?". I finally told her I had a Green Card. I doubt, they get a lot of...

Thanks for all your replies. My GC was approved this afternoon. This is the 2 year conditional GC - will this make a difference, in MN, trying to buy a firearm? Also, what is the MN law on CCW/PTC for LPRs - the googles gives me differing answers.

Cool! I do have a state ID with this address and have been here since September/October of 2011. Before that I lived in another city in the same city. However, I will call the local police and AG office before jumping in to things! Thanks again! Cheers!

Hello all! Greetings from MN! Great site; lots of great information! As the title suggests I am working on my LPR and should have my Green Card in hand soon. Currently on EAD after graduate school and working in the IT field. I had a few questions about buying a handgun (a .22!!) as a GC...
