Quoted: What your friend needs is to show proof of FL residence (lease, utility bill, etc.)

My roommate doesn't want to get a FL driver license because his parents are paying car insurance in NY. *sigh*
Your comment does bring up a question though. I am down here as a "non immigrant alien" (I'm Canadian). In order to purchase a firearm, I need
a) Florida driver license.
b) Florida hunting license.
I can obtain both. Now here is where the issue lies: the same dealer said he would not transfer a firearm to me unless I could provide him with utility bills or a lease agreement, in order to prove my residency. I have neither, because up to this point I've been living on campus and all such bills and agreements are incorporated into my room&board fees. He said he wouldn't take any documents produced by the school itself. So basically in order to transfer a firearm I'd have to move off campus and rent an apartment.
The ATF website states that certain non immigrant aliens are allowed to purchase firearms, and those include aliens who possess a valid State issued hunting license. Nowhere does it say anything about having to live in an apartment.
