C&R Question - Residency

[Mark_from_Iowa]

I want to apply for a C&R license, but I have a potential problem.

I attend college full time about four hours away from where my "permanent address" is physically located. I am at school year-round, with trips back home 1-2 times per month (research job on campus). I am registered to vote in my hometown, and I have a permit to acquire pistols and revolvers issued in my home county.

My question is this: Will I be able to get a C&R license if my "official address" (hometown, ID, taxes, etc) differs from my physical address (college town, bills, phone number)? I gather that a C&R does not require a "storefront", but does require an actual permanent location. Am I way off? Should I/ can I even apply?

I know a bunch of you are experts at this stuff, so thanks in advance.

Which chief law enforcement officer are you going to file a copy of the application with?

I'll be at school for a few more years (I'm a PhD candidate), so I would like it if everything could be handled in the college town. This is where my question comes into play. Will it be possible to recieve a C&R with my residency situation? Do I need to do 2x the paperwork? etc.

I could give you my opinion, but my opinion isn't the one that counts. This is one of those situations that is best answered straight from ATF. Call the closest Field office and ask them. No sense trying to guess from half baked answers on the errornet.

File where your drivers license is from. School can be a temporary address. You will still be a C&R so your license will work wereever you happen to be for the purchase.
