Newtonian 453 Posted March 27, 2017 What's the problem with doing just enough to satisfy PA residency requirements, then getting a Pennsy license? Lots of people around here live in PA and work in Sussex Cty. WTF would you ever want to purchase a gun in NJ again when you can drive across the river and buy one on the spot? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HBecwithFn7 296 Posted March 28, 2017 Pa is not Fl and this is why we need national Reciprocity. Correct. FL issues to non-residents, so that's probably not a good comparison. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted March 28, 2017 Pa is not Fl That's not relevant. The point is he is a PA resident when he is at his home in PA and a NJ resident when he is at home in NJ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What some have done in this case (and in no way do I endorse it because I have no idea if it actually works of it it's legal), is to get a PA Driver License with the PA address (and be a PA resident), but get a NJ "Boating license" (with the NJ address) to use for their NJ FID and other docs. Again, I have no idea if this will work in re: Real ID restrictions of today. Technically, one is only supposed to be primary domiciled in "one" and only "one" state.... for tax, voter registration and other purposes. If you live/establish residency for a total of 183+ days in a given year in one state, then that's your primary domicile state. You'd best be able to prove to the Govt. that you did, in fact, live 183+ days in that state (bills, receipts, grocery tapes, etc. etc.). It should also be the state where your are registered to vote. Granted, it probably would take the govt. a bit of time and effort to catch up with someone trying to claim dual state residency, but that person runs the risk of them doing so and paying the price for that.

If the OP acquired a PA DL he wouldn't need to get a boat license for use with his NJ docs. I have FL DL and buy in NJ all the time with that DL. Some folks that position the marketplace want matching docs, but they do it out of ignorance, but can make that restriction if they'd like. However, it isn't the law by any means. A call to the state police FIU will net you the same answer. The D/L is identity not residence. The FPID in NJ is a government issued document that can be used for residence purposes.

It won't matter to me much, because neither my "inventory" nor my 2A $$$ will ever set foot on NJ soil, ever again... EVER! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
