My neighbor gave me a Ruger Single Sixty New Model .22/magnum. It's my very first firearm and I'm 30 years old. We went to the Police substation and had it registered, they gave me my blue card.
It's a good gun, but I thought I'd get a higher caliber one for home defense. I've been hearing good things about the SR9. I went to a gun store close and was going to buy it, but since I'm not a citizen and I live with my mom (everything's under her name) they said I needed to have a written statement from my mom saying I live in her house and she allows me to buy a gun. Also, they need 3 months worth of bills (electric, gas, etc..) with my name and the address I wrote down.
Is this just a store policy or is this a state/city law? I thought since I have my blue card that I can just buy a gun from a gun store without any hassle?
