2nd home in Pa I live in. I want purchase firearm in PA with NY Drivers license

[jljordann922]

Hey so I posted a while back about understanding the law regarding purchasing a firearm in PA, while maintaing my NY license. I currently own a home in both NY and PA. I work in NYC Tuesday through Friday and due to my job for the city must maintain a NYC license. However I also consider myself living in PA mostly every Friday/Saturday to Monday.

From what I understood in my last thread, I technically should be able to purchase a firearm in PA even without the PA license since I do have a residency here that I actually live in. I also understood that most FFL just do not want to deal with that extra paperwork or doubt they may have so I will get written off by most. In fact I asked a few dealers out here in PA and even though I have my NYC Pistol permit and Rifle/Shotgun permit, I was basically told all that will get me is a Metro Card.

My question is, if I can in fact legally purchase a firearm in PA without the PA license, is there a FFL on here that has done it or does it or can at least put me in the right direction? Definitely am willing to travel. I am in Pocono Pines. I currently just bought my first pistol after finally getting my NYC license, but apparently can not even legally bring it out of the city. I can however bring my shotgun and rifle. Yet I would much rather choose from the vast selection in PA than the nonsense restrictions on firearms in NYC.

Please let me know. Thanks!

Maybe next Monday when you're in PA take a trip into your local sheriff's office in whatever county your a home owner in IMO best place to find out straight from the horse's mouth. Good luck

No you can’t skirt your state laws with a second home purchase. Sell your old home and move to pa. You’ll have tons of ny a holes living around you and soon they will succeed in making here just like there. 2yrs till dem o gerrymandering.

2yrs till dem o gerrymandering.

As previously noted elsewhere it's called redistricting for Democrats, and gerrymandering for republicans.
No input for OP, please resume discussion.

Seems like a lot of generalizations made here without any helpful information. First off, "skirt" which state laws? I already legally have my licenses and legally own my firearms in NYC. When I spend my 3 or so days per week in PA owned home, I would like legal PA firearms for that home. Which is why I am asking. Not sure why it got all political.

As for speaking to my local Police Dept that may be a good option as well.

Thank you

He would be a dual resident and as long as the PA firearms do not leave PA, he would be legal.

IANAL.

You own the house in PA, you can own whatever you want in PA that is illegal in NY, as long as you keep it in PA.
I can't see why you can't get a PA permit to carry and travel with your hand gun. You would have a permit in both states.
Just stay within NY laws...
I'm not a lawyer... I would look into it.

It would be a lot easier if states weren't allowed to make their own gun laws.

OP while there may be several on here that can answer your question the guy I frequently see answer these types of questions is "xringshooter" aka Ron. I'm on my phone so my search fu is unable to ensure that I have his exact handle correct. If you mention where you live in PA maybe others can give you other recommendations

It would be a lot easier if the only gun law was "shall not be infringed."

Just sayin'...

To the OP, do you have a house with a Deed that has your name on it? Do you pay PA taxes? Not necessarily your income taxes, but PA school and property taxes? If so, you only need to find a FFL dealer willing to take copies of your paperwork and sell you a firearm. The 4473 will have your PA address, as per BATF instructions. The firearms will remain at your PA residence.

Without a PA DL, your Sheriff will most likely NOT issue a PA LTCF, winless you out of state license is a full unrestricted carry and then it will be a non resident LTCF, until you move permanently.
