Dual Residency?
Currently I have residency in both NY and in kentucky. Everyone knows NY is much more restrictive. I am looking to purchase a rifle to keep at my home in Kentucky, but I only have a NY drivers license. Would a lease or an electric bill be considered acceptable proof of residency? I spend a bit more time in NY so I would rather just keep my NY drivers license. What other proof of residency is considered acceptable for purchasing a rifle?

Dual Residency?
You have to have ky drivers license to purchase handguns. Although I believe I was told once that a state I'd would work too. For that you would need the utility bills to get.

Utility bills would only be acceptable as alternate documentation if they were from a government entity. .

Tom, that information (your first link) is contrary to what the BATFE FAQ site says in discussing people who own homes in two states, and who occupy one as a vacation home. The FAQ specifically says that you are a resident of each state for the period of time you are living in that state. A vacation home is no less a "home" than a year-round residence as long as the owner occupies the vacation home him/herself and doesn't use it solely as a rental property.
The advisory you're showing doesn't address people with homes in two states of the U.S., it's for people who live outside the U.S. See the instructions for both question 2 and question 13. The answer to the question in the OP here is the instructions for questions 20a and 20b on the Form 4473. The buyer would show his "other" state driver's license and one of the alternate forms of identification. It doesn't have to be a government-issued ID card, it can be a tax bill. Anyone who owns a vacation home must receive a tax bill, either once or twice a year. Last edited by Aguila Blanca; July 8, 2013 at 05:09 PM. |

Things can change any time,these days. especially involving NY.
Recently a PA County has removed the reciprocity for handgun carry [Pike with NY] for NY residents.

Pennsylvania has state firearms law preemption. Reciprocity is established either by law or by written agreement between the Attorney General of PA and the AG of the reciprocating state. Counties cannot remove reciprocity for any state. However, I don't believe PA recognized NY permits, so I don't think there was any reciprocity there to cancel. The Handgunlaw web site seems to confirm this: http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/pennsylvania.pdf |

I'm looking to get a rifle, not a hand gun, if that makes any difference.

In the first link, see page 2, fourth para that address residence in two states. Quote:

The buyer can show ANY government issued photo ID. Few states allow a person to hold valid drivers licenses from multiple states at the same time.

To my knowledge there is no such thing as dual residency. You must be a resident of only one state, and it's usually determined by how much out of the year you spend there. Drivers license and voter's registration are just "proof" of residency.

I stand corrected in the case of purchasing handguns - I guess you can be a resident of two states.
