Does anyone have any thoughts/info on the ability to purchase a handgun (or any firearm for that matter) in a state other than where one maintain's a permanent address.
IIRC the atf has a statement on their website that states that a student may purchase a firearm in the state in which he/she goes to school during the portion of the year that he resides in the 2nd state.
I'm leary to try- as what address would you even put on the 4473?
I discussed it briefly w/the local range & they advised that I should get a ID (non-drivers) from this state (state #2), and didn't think I could purchase/fill out the 4473 otherwise.
I question whehter I would be able to be issued such an id, and if obtaining one would do something to promote a change in residency (I have a DL & CCW from state #1 that I wish to keep).
For the moment I think I'll just not buy anything, but I'm curious if anyone has ever tried?
The shop I was @ did not seem to think proof of a local address (apartment, not a dorm) would be sufficient by itself.
Thoughts?
