OMG! Finally someone else that actually understands this concept! -claps hands-
Residency for GCA purposes involves two things that must be met together - PRESENCE in a state with the INTENTION of making that state a home. Most military members are not PRESENT in their home of record state with INTENT to make that state a home anytime in the near future and, therefore, buying handguns and private party sales are illegal in the home of record state, even though may have a driver's license from there. Unless, of course, that is also where they are permanently ordered to.
