I wouldn't be buying a pistol in the next couple years so thats not a huge issue. If I can leave my FID card with a NJ address that is not what my PA DL shows as where I live, then I am good to go.

My fear was/is that with a PA DL and PA address, my FID card would not allow me to transport firearms in NJ anymore.

I would be "living" in PA enough to get the 184 day requirement satisfied but rest of the week is gonna be in NJ. And I would hate to have to move gun collection to PA and be without anything during my time in NJ. Long story but apartment is a hike from NJ, and I can't commute to work that far each day.

Yes he is. Either way, I would rather do it all or not half way it.

The FFL I talked to who deals with a lot of dual resident folks said that just having a rental apartment is not sufficient for NFA items.

In my case it does not. I am not a college student. Unless as stated I got a gov document but IDK what doc I would get for that anyway.

Yes, I will def be chatting with an accountant to be sure it makes financial sense. Renting a apartment does not qualify one for dual residency status in the eyes of the ATF so no dice on NFA items. Which is the long term goal, would love a suppressor even if it lives in PA

Yea I will need to make up a list of things that will require address changes etc. I work at least one day a week in PA so I am there Thurs evening thru Sunday evening, technically skirts the 183 requirement. Ironically the only hiccup will be getting my car/truck to pass PA emissions, NJ has em exempted.

Basic goal would be to acquire the lower tax bracket PA has on income tax while still working in NJ. That is my primary reason for being legit in my residency status. The secondary reason is to then acquire a PA LTCF and go back to legal carrying in PA. Trying to figure out what needs to change documents wise and how to go about it the easiest. And to be able to maintain having firearms legally in the NJ abode/while transporting.

But the tax man does care. I know I can play the dual residency as per ATF right now but I want to be legit and pay PA taxes.

So I could have a PA DL with a NJ FID card that reflects a different address?

Well then, this certainly opens up stuff. Address change on FID process would be the same even though it would be a PA address?

Current status: NJ resident homeowner, FID card. I also have a apartment in PA. If I switch residency to my apartment, while maintaining the NJ house, I assume my FID is no longer valid, and all my firearms would need to travel to PA. This would mean no traveling to ranges in NJ from the NJ house anymore I would think. However, traveling from PA to a NJ range is legal. Correct?
