Has anyone sent a letter to the handgun unit and gotten response?

Even with permanent resident status it doesn't seem to be any better..

Wow that is crazy. Well, I really hope someone knows how to go about this. "Rules" do not mean anything when law is law. They told me at the dmv "we have rules that say" and I politely replied that I would like to see the law and not go by rules nobody can show me on paper.

Lisa is not there anymore. Kyle Evan's is the new Lisa. I do not know how to get a hold of him. This is the number i have called. 6152515330 I also spoke to a Sheryl Washington and she did not even understand what I was trying to do. She sent me a bunch of screen shots that didn't help me out at all.

Hi everyone! This is my first post here after lurking around for a while. I moved to America last year and I got my green card in Nov 2019. This is an I-551 permanent resident card with a 2 year expiration date since it is conditional. I took the class for handgun carry in December and homeland security sent me a certificate of completion. Now the to the issue: I went to the dmv and tried to apply and they just laughed at me and stopped me at the counter and said "You are a TEMPORARY permanent resident you can not carry a firearm" also my drivers licence was a Temporary drivers Licence and they could not handle that. I told them that makes no sense, I referred to their website that is says I am eligible for a permit. I was told the website has nothing to do with the law but they could not show me what the law actually says. I emailed homeland and they sent me screenshots of their website (I though the website didnt matter?) But all she looked up for me was "US CITIZENS" so that was of no help. Then she stopped replying. I couple months and a lot of reading on my part went by and I tried again at a different dmv. I got past the desk and got stopped in the machine somewhere when the date on my dl expired before the expiration on a carry permit would be set. Once again I was told "you are not a permanent resident" even though I clearly have a permit saying "permanent". I told them the conditions on my residency does not mean I am temporary, it means that I reside here under conditions and nothing else. I asked them to call homeland but they could not get a hold of them since a tornado went through Nashville the same day. I showed them at the counter the website and that is clearly states I am eligible for a carry permit, and to my great surprise it was updated since the last dmv visit with "Temporary" I-551 for those who don't understand what a conditional card is. Even though all that evidence is clearly in front of their eyes I was denied. I have tried many times calling and emailing homeland security with no response. Is there anyone here who has been approved with a conditional card or knows how I could go about this? I really appreciate your help.
