Can a Canadian own a gun permit in USA?
I am just wondering can I get a gun permit in USA.

 

[CanAm]

what type of permit? Most US places only require you to be a legal resident for 90 days to buy a gun (federal law).

a normal gun permit that allows you to shoot auto
I want to to shoot auto since "it is illegal to shoot auto in Canada (don't have prohibited license).

A prohib license does not allow you to have full auto. I know you are just getting involved in learning about firearm licensing but you do need to read more carefully and fully understand the regulations before making such statements.

It says with a prohibited license you can own an auto, if you can own it I think you can shoot it right?

No, you can keep an automatic firearm locked up in your house but the CFO will not grant you an SAP (Special Authority to Possess) for the purpose of shooting.

We are talking about the US. You need to be a resident in a Class 3 state to own full auto's.

You don't need a permit to shoot auto in Canada or the USA. It is not illegal to shoot full auto in Canada.

You don't need a permit to shoot auto in Canada or the USA. It is not illegal to shoot full auto in Canada.

They just won't let you talk the guns out to do it.

there is no permit in the US for full auto just a tax stamp

you need to get a green card
move to the us and stay 90 days in a FA state like florida
buy a FA gun ( a nice used m-16 will cost about 12 000 $)

and then you can shoot full auto all day

or the range in Las Vagas?

 

[Cerdan]

You can shoot full auto in Las Vagas, just not armor-piercing rounds with stopping power.

 

[CanAm]

no green card needed, just legal entry and residence for 90 days.

This is what I understood to be the case as well. Also, I thought fingerprinting and more intensive background checks were involved too.

Yes, but I figured the extra detail was moot.

Anyone know the location for the Las Vagas range?
One more question out of curiosity so US citizen are not allow to own auto like us.
I thought they are allow to ahve ak-47, but isn't ak-47 full auto?

You need to learn a lot more about guns. Also, the term "auto" means many things. If you mean full-automatic, use the term full-auto. Yes, as stated above, Americans have far more rights to own full autos than we do. Did you not read the posts above regarding class-3 states?

 

[aliceminer]

What's the difference between full-auto and auto?
I did read about your post regarding class 3 license
I thought class 3 license is for machine guns, Sound Suppressors and Silencers,S.B.S. - Short Barrel Shotgun, and Destructive Devices .
And it is only transferable only.

What's the difference between full-auto and auto?

Full auto specifically means that it fires repeatedly with one pull of the trigger. Auto can mean full auto, auto-loading (45 automatic pistol, auto-5 shotgun, etc), or even auto eject like some old 22 single shot rifles. It is very non-specific.
