N-400 Did you ever sell or give weapons

[killadocg23 69]

As title state saw this question on my N-400 and answered yes( sold weapons via private legal sales here in TX) I did my form electronically but saw that you can upload additional evidence regarding this.

 

(On the paper form N-400 it asked to explain if I answered yes in writing)

 

Should I upload a document statement saying these are legal private gun sales to give a heads up? Or am I over thinking this? Just want to make sure everything goes right! Has anybody ever had to explain this in the interview ?

As you already noted, on the paper form it says

 

> If you answer "Yes" to any of these questions, include a typed or printed explanation on additional sheets of paper.

 

That's not optional. 

 

So, yes.  Based on what you've said, you should write an explanation and upload it as additional evidence.

OP already knew what the paper form said.

If you sold them legally, there should be a paper trail to this, namely a receipt/ bill of sale. Upload this too.

I live in TX, no Bill of Sale is needed for firearm transactions.

Receipt?

How can the buyer prove that they paid for the firearm?

 

My situation was different but maybe it helps. My husband taught me how to fire a gun. There is a question whether you've received "weapons training", to which I answered "yes" and then I wrote something like "I bought my gun through a legal purchase on 03.2021. My husband taught me how to use it". When I got to the interview in Columbus, Ohio, and we went over the yes/ no questions I told the officer that I wasn't sure whether that constituted "weapons training" and explained it to the officer. He changed the answer to "no" and added "informal". 

 

I guess what I am trying to tell you is you will have time to explain it at the interview. I also had the receipt from my purchase just in case -never offered to show it nor did the officer request to see it. Interview took 20' and I am now a citizen. 

If I were you, I would try to get a copy of the receipt if you have it.

Thanks for the response. I uploaded evidence stated it was private legal sale in Texas. I dont see the document uploaded. Does this take time to show up on my usics account?

Did you upload a statement? Was it a PDF file?

 

Where did you upload it? There is a tab called "unsolicited evidence". That's where you upload a file. 

 

But also, in my case I just made a comment inside the application itself.

Yes uploaded the statement via unsolicited evidence via pdf but I cannot see the statement under documents. Not sure if it takes a while to show up under my documents or will it even show up at all. Basically just trying to see if it was properly submitted.

I see. I could see my unsolicited evidence. Not sure if it took a while to show up or not. But also the officer was able to see it too.
