    I don't deal with hypotheticals, when you start living in three houses check back with me.

    I thought it had to do with where your primary house is located.

    The easier solution is, which of the three states does he hold a drivers license?



    This whole issue is the reason why Monroe County's Sheriff Martin required a copy of your Berkheimer taxes to prove residency when applying for a LTCF. Just saying.

    But you'll apply tax law definitions to firearms laws?

    He's supposed to issue to both residents and non-resident. Property taxes shouldn't mean jack shit. Just Saying.

    I'll have to look it up but I believe that if your state of residence requires a CCW permit (or whatever the state calls it) to carry concealed, then to get one in PA you must have one in your home state.

    Buying a firearm has nothing to do with your "Primary" residence for a dual/multistate resident. The law says that if you own a home in 2 states, and pay the real estate taxes on those properties, that when you are residing in that home, you are a resident of that state. I have been doing this for over 10 years and the persons "Primary" residence has NEVER been called into play or was a factor in the purchase. And as I said in a previous post, I have been inspected by the BATFE and they have NEVER found that I have done anything the law didn't allow.

    Can't say I've ever run into a person that has homes in more than 2 states but that should not matter the way the law is written.

    I don't disagree with that but the ATF is the one who makes the regulations. I suppose it could be because the renter/lessee does not determine what can/cannot be done with the rented property. The rental agreement could say "no firearms" and the renter has to abide by that. I can't say for certain why the ATF says that and I've never run into that scenario yet.

    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.

    That is correct. The criteria for gun purchases is determined by federal law, then state law.

    The criteria for a PA LTCF is solely state law. PA law says that if your state of residence issues a license(may or shall issue), then you must have that state's license/permit to be eligible for a PA LTCF. And PA goes by what is on your ID. The only state exempt of that is Vermont since they have no license/permit whatsoever.

    With the "primary" thing, the ID is prima facie evidence of residence. The address on that ID would be the "primary" residence. While primary and secondary aren't codified things, they are realistic. A person must go through extra steps to prove a "dual" residency, whereas their ID proves with face value where they are resident to.
