“Due to current interpretations of (ITAR) International Traffic in Arms Regulations stemming from the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, only current, lawful “US Persons” – both US Citizens and lawful permanent Resident Aliens in possession of a current I-551 (colloquially known as a “Green Card”) are allowed to participate in NRA type firearms training courses.

Bottom line – just as the ATF form 4473 states the legal requirements to buy a gun – those same requirements apply to gun training.”
