Question about multiple addresses within NJ

That is the problem... a lot of this law is vague is left up to the interpretation of cop and court.  What I am most concerned with is having my HD handgun at the ready and out of its safe.  With all the restrictions surrounding handguns and hollowpoints I like to be cautious about having it, and I am not sure if I am within legality if my name is not on the lease.  The longarms I am not too concerned with, but I just want to make sure I am within the law with my storage of the pistol.

If any of the bills (preferably utility bills) come in your name, you can use that to help establish residence, though having your name added to the lease is the best course of action. The landlord should allow the tenant's lease to be amended provided your presence doesn't violate the terms, though keep in mind that if something goes wrong you'll most likely be on the hook financially. 

 

But is this really necessary? You're looking at a lot of paperwork and fees (driver's license, FID, etc ) for what is potentially a non-permanent residence should the two of you decide to get a bigger apartment or buy a house. I'd leave it alone for the time being, but YMMV.

 

 

Good info, and a lot to consider.  To clarify, I am a person of absolutes.  I don't like the "what-ifs" of leaving some things up to circumstance and just assuming I am in the right.  I don't want to ever end up in a position where some freak thing occurs and I am stuck trying to prove that I live here.

Prove to who? The Popo when your girlfriend kicks you out?

 

The police in the event of whatever.  I'm bugged out about having handguns at this address, when my license and FPID is at a different location and my name is not on the lease, even though I pay an equal/majority share of rent and live here.

Don't change anything.

 

How do I prove residency in the event the SHTF?  Am I currently "legal" under this setup?

Hey NJGunforums,

 

I have been lurking for a while and had a question about multiple addresses.  My current FPID and NJ Drivers license is the same address as my parents house.  I live at that house as well as an apartment that I rent out with my girlfriend. I pay half of everything for the apartment (rent, utlities, wi-fi), however her name is solely on the lease as I moved in after she started renting the place.  The great majority of my firearms are stored at the house I rent with my girlfriend, but as mentioned before my license and FPID are in the name of parent's house (which I also live at).

 

My question is how can I establish residency at the house I rent with my girlfriend when my name is not on the lease?  I do not want to change my FPID because it is a painstaking process as both houses are in NJSP barracks territory, and I do not feel as though I have to being that I live at both houses.  Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.
