Water fears Jack Bauer's powder horn.

Can you elaborate on that one a little bit, please?

I have just done a little googling (which is by no means replacement for an informed lawyer, or even your own experience!) and I found this: "In 1998...Congress amended § 922(g)(5) to prohibit — with exceptions not applicable here — persons lawfully present in the United States on non-immigrant visas from possessing firearms or ammunition."

Is the state hunting permit one of those exceptions, then? Ohhh, I've just read more, and it says that it is, OK. I've got to say that I'd be a bit hesitant to use that exemption in the current climate type, but I'm the worrying cautious type...

Hey, if non-immigrants aren't allowed to possess firearms (apart from the exception above), how do the firing ranges in FL and HI that cater to tourists work? Is hiring a gun at a range not considered "possession"?
