The ATF considers you a resident of a state if you spend at least one weekend a month in that state, from what I remember when I was looking at the rules. You could keep an apartment or something in Alabama and get a state resident ID instead of a driver's liscense (you can only have one driver's liscense, a resident ID just says that you have an address in the state).

I am not an attorney, or other expert in this field, but I have had a similar issue with my states that I spend time in. What I found was each state seems to have laws governing what they consider to be "legal residency." My issue is I live five days in Illinois and MUST have legal residency here in order to have a "Professional License" (their term) to earn my living, but I have a weekend home in Missouri and must buy a non-resident hunting license, with its outrageous fees, to hunt on my own land, even though I pay property taxes there. Missouri is very clear--in order to be considered a resident, you must have your DL and Voter's registration card on file in Missouri. If you do not, you are not a resident, period. For sure, check all the angles to make sure you are legal. In my case, I could be a MO resident and get cheaper licenses, OR I can make my living. I pay a lot to hunt. [:(]

Well, this is all a moot point now. I reread the qualifications for getting a CCW permit in Utah, and you don't even have to be a resident to qualify. My mistake. I assumed that when they wanted to know your 5 year residential and work history, you had to be a resident of Utah for at least 5 years.
