Re: Buying and using a gun without PA DL
OP, where do you and your wife live in PA? Do YOU own the home and pay all the real estate taxes on the residence? If you do, then you are considered a PA resident when you are living in your PA home and you certainly can buy a handgun. The ATF considers this as a dual state resident scenario and a FFL in PA will have to talk to a PICS operator to do the BGC but it can be done. I am the FFL for 6 dual state residents (one is from NYC) and I have had no problems with the PSP. You do need to provide the FFL with copies of the current real estate taxes paperwork (paid) for him to keep with the 4473/SP4-113 for proof.

You can't go wrong with a pump 12 ga. loaded with buck shot. Both legally and for HD. (hacksaw is optional)

Re: Buying and using a gun without PA DL
Strictly speaking you cannot legally buy a handgun in PA as a TX resident.
Should you choose to straw-purchase through your wife, YES you could be prosecuted and convicted for a felony and lose your 2A rights forever. Given the extreme circumstances that the current pandemic has conjured, a DA or prosecutor may go easy on you and not press charges or allow you to plea out to a minor charge IF you ended up having to shoot someone with an ill-gotten handgun. But that is their discretion, not yours.
This would work great as long as you can provide proof of legit PA residency. Plenty of FFLs in your region should be willing to help out.Any mission, any conditions, any foe at any range.
Twice the mayhem, triple the force.
Ten times the action, total hardcore.

Re: Buying and using a gun without PA DL
No you can’t buy a handgun online unless you have it shipped to an FFL in TX and pick it up there.
Yes your wife can buy a gun in PA.
If your wife buys a gun you can use it if needed.
