C&r licence question!

[mdib870]

hey fellow collectors, i have a question for you about the application.

on page 1 it says to list countries of citizenship.

I was born in Sacramento california right here un the good old USA
But my dad is a lebanese citizen. therefore i have lebanese citizenship given from birth, yeah its weird i know. i don't even know how.

should i list this? is anyone else a duel citizen? will it be held against me?
i don't want to denounce my lebanese citizenship.


help? anyone?

Any child born here is a US citizen. Don't mention the dual situation.

I'm a redblooded god loving american who believes in mom dad baseball and apple pie! who wants his C&R license. plus i thought it would be cool since this year my employer "Local gun shop" is paying for us to get our C.O.E. so naturally i thought i would take full advantage and take the plunge into getting my C&R license

Since section 9 specifically says

Country of Citizenship List more than one, if applicable.

(emphasis added), I would be listing it. You don't want to get caught lying on a federal form. I don't think it would be too hard for them to figure out your dual status.

Put it down. I don't think being a dual citizen is grounds for denial.

Question, are you a US citizen. Answer, yes. Not a lie. As long as you have a US birth certificate.

It's not a yes/no question. It specifically says to list your country(s) of citizenship. No, he's not lying by saying he's a US citizen. But, he would be lying on a federal form if he knowingly omitted the fact that he has dual citizenship.

Country of Citizenship List more than one, if applicable.

Look at section 9 on the form.

Having dual citizenship shouldn't hurt you at all. You're a US citizen, that's all you need.

You're qualified with that alone, but don't omit anything. As others have said.

I stand corrected. I didn't remember they asked it that way.

You should have no problem. Just be honest.
