My brother decided to major in oceanography, because most of his grades were below C-level.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

NSL that is not accurate.
It should be anyone who can legally own a handgun. My son is 19 and cannot legally purchase a handgun, nut he can own and open carry the handgun.

He cannot legally purchase a handgun from a licensed FFL dealer.
Would be a stupid law to be able to possess something w/out anymeans of being able to obtain it.

And not only that, but he can't buy ammo for his handgun either. Unless of course it is "for a rifle"
Though I usually just get my ammo through the same means of my guns, from family
But there is no such thing as a "straw purchase" of ammo, is there?

Nonimmigrant Status
On October 22, 1998, as part of the Omnibus Consolidated Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1999, Pub. L. 105-277, Congress amended the Gun Control Act by creating, with certain exceptions, a new category of persons prohibited from shipping, transporting, receiving, and possessing firearms: any alien "who has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa." This prohibition applies to "any alien in the United States in a nonimmigrant status." There are exceptions to the nonimmigrant alien provision. A nonimmigrant alien is not prohibited from purchasing, receiving, or possessing a firearm if the alien: (1) is in possession of a hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the United States; (2) is an official representative of a foreign government who is accredited to the United States Government or their Government's mission to an international organization having its headquarters in the United States; or (3) has received a waiver from the prohibition form the Attorney General of the United States.
There also is a process for nonimmigrant aliens to petition the Justice Department to waive the prohibition. Individuals should contact the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms if you have questions about the prohibition, its exceptions, or the waiver process.
I know this does not apply to you Texasdoc, however, I have a friend from Iceland who is here on a student visa and it DOES apply to him.
