| If a someone is a resident of NJ and Florida. And while in Florida, buys a handgun. What is the process of getting that gun into NJ? |
I-95 North 
Seriously... if you legally acquired the gun out-of-state, and it's legal to possess in NJ, then just transport it home. STRAIGHT home... no stopping at the Wawa for coffee and smokes. It needs to be unloaded, and secured in a case or locked in the trunk. As far as NJ law is concerned, you're transporting from a place of purchase to a place of residence. 2C:39-6e provides for that. |

question for those that have dual residency? how is that established? which state is your license from? do you prove residency by means of lease or mortgage payments? just curious... No such thing as dual residency. Primary and secondary. Your primary residence is where you reside for over half of a year. Your income tax return should reflect this. Obviously you want to keep your primary as Florida. Get a NJ FID card and make sure you put all of your addresses as Florida, since its your primary residence(or should be if it isn't). That should keep you out of most trouble you could get into. Also, most internet dealers will not sell you any type of preban goodie if your billing address is in NJ. Keep your CC billing addresses in FL. EDITED: To add info. |

Maybe as far as the IRS in concerned, but the ATF acknowledges dual residency. From the ATF FAQ: "If a person maintains a home in 2 States and resides in both States for certain periods of the year, he or she may, during the period of time the person actually resides in a particular State, purchase a handgun in that State. However, simply owning property in another State does not qualify the person to purchase a handgun in that State." |

So, my primary residence is in the PRNJ and I own a second home (bug out possibility) in NY State. I have been told there is no way I can purchase or own a handgun in NY since my driver's license is from PRNJ.
It seems my constitutional rights are determined by my driver's license. Does anyone have different information? |

You can get a govt form of ID from NY.
I know they have these in NJ. Looks like a dr license, but it's just a govt issued form of ID. I'm not sure what they'd require for that. Electric bill? I have close family in Maine and I've been contemplating this for years.  (yea, I do live there for periods of time throughout the year)
Guess I should just do it.

Does anyone have different information? You are running up against New York State law in addition to federal law. First, your home in New York does not qualify as a residence if you do not maintain a residence there. You give the impression that you have a cabin and you go up there on weekends, some holidays, etc. You are not maintaining a residence there. You have not established the home as a place where you regularly reside. If you went there for the summer and stayed there for several months, the case would be different. Next, you have New York State law, which in some ways sucks worse than New Jersey. You don't actually need a permit to have a pistole in NJ. You do in NY, and the judge has to agree to allow you to have it. While the state does have provisions for non residents to obtain the permits, many judges will not issue them unless you are a full time resident. This is because they suck. There is no other reason. If your second home was in Pennsylvania, and you were a resident there for part of the year, you could buy all the handguns you wanted. You'd need government documents that prove residence. Tax bills work for this. |
