I recently tried to purchase a firearm from a local pawnshop (part of a chain Mr xx)
After discussing the purchase I filled in the CBI background checkform and presented the required paperwork (90 days proof or residency and my green card as I am a legal alien/permenant resident)
Clerk and Manager then told me they had a store policy not to sell guns to non-US citizens. - they didn't even submit the background check to CBI. I followed up with the chain's Director of Operations who basically said 'sue me' and hung up!
Do legal aliens (even ones without antennae!) have different rights under the 2nd amendment?
I have already purchased several firearms from some great gun stores in Colorado and admire/respect the US's stand on the 2nd amendment
Any ideas anyone? (BTW it was a REALLY nice yugo SKS with grenade launcher!)
