ZT 外国人在美国持枪的法律风险

联邦层面猎照完全没有要求本州。最便宜的选项alaska non-res small game  20刀。

看到ATF的一个FAQ，倒是说明了无照租枪的法律风险
https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/ ... earm-lawful-hunting
Can an alien who enters the United States on a nonimmigrant alien visa rent a firearm for lawful hunting or sporting purposes while in the United States?

A nonimmigrant alien that possess a valid hunting license from a State within the United States or falls within any of the other exceptions or exemptions that allow nonimmigrant aliens to possess firearms may rent firearms to hunt or to use at a shooting range.

[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(5) and (9), 922(g)(5)(B) and 922(y); 27 CFR 478.99(a) and (c)(5)]所以拿着F和H的去靶场租枪突突的理论上是违法的

我觉得大家被那个移民律师的某些说法和态度给distract了，其实完全可以忽略这个人，只研究这个案子本身。 ...

联邦法没有限定猎照的cover范围。写得是issued by a state。所以不用觉得是漏洞。
当然带人去靶场还要注意下本州的法律有没有更近一步的规定。
比如华州的法律就规定
For purposes of subsections (1) and (2) of this section, the firearms may only be possessed for the purpose of using them in the hunting of game while such persons are in the act of hunting, or while on a hunting trip, or while such persons are competing in a bona fide trap or skeet shoot or any other organized contest where rifles, pistols, or shotguns are used.
没cover到自己带人去靶场突突。 这里是个坑。。。。

首先法律大于靶场的规定。而且靶场也没有权利豁免法律要求。一般签的waiver是豁免了靶场自己的责任。
可能那靶场写规定时，都没有想到过外国人的问题。NY已经算紧得了，还要show firearm ID。WA的室外靶场交钱都能进，才不管你持枪是不是合法。严格的室内靶场有drivers lisence也就行了。
