your place of dwelling

[springfieldxds 0]

So what's the law regarding possession and carrying in your place of dwelling if you don't own said place, like my example, I live with my dad, he owns the house and property, so am I legally allowed to have a hand gun in his house since I live in said house and what about carrying am I legally allowed to carry my handgun around the house and property the house is on

 

Thanks

Is your dads house you legal residence? The address on your license is your home of record. Someone may correct me if I'm wrong but you can carry on your dads property, as long as he has no problem with you doing so.

From my understanding you have to declare it as your residence or your name would has to be on title of the property.If it was an apartment or business your name has to be on the lease.

His house is my legal dwelling, its the address on my license

You are fine if that is your address on your license and you really live there as your main residence. You have to feel confident that if you ever got an illegal possession of a HG charge against you while being there, that you can easily prove in court that it is your primary residence/dwelling. Drivers license address, bills addressed there, credit report listing there, and your personal possessions/bedroom/clutter etc all there.... are just some examples. The law basically wants to stop people from using the exemption as a loophole, as in say you are at a friends house and get charged and you just say "well I live here also, so I'm exempted for carrying here". The state would say "prove you live here"... and so on.

Yeah I can easily prove that's my living address, what about carrying outside the house, like there's about 3 acres of land the house sits on and im always doing yard work so I was wondering if I can legally carry on the property while working

Yes

From my understanding you have to declare it as your residence

 

To do this, you stand on your sofa and shout, as loudly as you can, "I DECLARE THIS IS MY HOME!"
