Non Resident Purchase in NH

What do you mean, so long as the FFL knows you do.

They block you from being a dualie? Mass doesn't even do that (if you do it correctly).

I lived in CT, had a CT weapons permit.
Had a camper parked year round in a campground in CT, paid local taxes on it.
Built a house in GA, sold the house in CT.
Got GA permit, kept CT permit - notified CT that my new address was in GA. [*****]
Left the camper in CT, and spent anywhere from 3 to 6 months a year in it.
Continued to pay CT state income tax, (for reasons).

Tried to buy a pistol in CT from an FFL using logic that per ATF regulations, I was a dual resident.
SLFU said "no".
Went to their office, they told me the only way I could be considered a CT resident for purposes of buying a handgun was to have a CT driver's license.
When I protested, a "supervisor" came over, and basically told me to leave.

The entire conversation took place through a very thick piece of what appeared to be bullet proof glass(?); that after going through a metal detector to get into the building.

I had the pistol shipped to an FFL in GA where it was held until I came home.

This was probably a mistake - I probably should have given CT the campground as my address.
Hindsight - 20/20 and usually sober.

Yes you have to use the CT campground as your address and may have to prove other things as well.

and who is "SLFU"?

I would assume you could use what you need to prove your a resident. say on voting and or what info do you need to provide if you where going to get your drivers license. i just renewed my DL in Mass with the star and I needed two pieces of paper that i need to prove i was a mass resident, so i brought two mass registrations.
i would assume the rental campground rental agreement, and
CT is crazy in that they force you to pay propertax on your camper while your there, that would be another one.

In FL my FFL looks up the tax records right in the store. it all depends on the FFL

it helps i have and FL permit or there is a waiting period.

CT has other funny rules to get your first gun or they use to. you need something from the local police i think

I used the campground as my address. I had utility bill and property tax bill from the town of Bozrah, (CT). SLFU refused to accept it, said that I needed a CT driver's license.

SLFU = State Licensing and Firearms Unit, (CT)

I guess you would have to do the license thing., and then change back.
That's why i was against the "real ID" that forces you only to have one license.

I have "Real ID" endorsement on my GA license.

The point is, I was living in CT anywhere from 3 to 6 months of the year, and could prove it. Had rental agreement, (for camper lot), tax bill for camper, (CT has "personal property taxes"), and utility bill.

SLFU didn't care. If I didn't have a CT driver's license, they wouldn't define me as a CT resident.

I have "Real ID" endorsement on my GA license. that's the # one problem.
then you should have said great i'll be back with my CT drivers license and then gone down to RMV and gotten a CT license and then get an in state resident carry permit

they would cancel your other DL, so you may need to let your insurance company know

all water under the bridge at this point.

I sold the camper, I have no property in CT and very little reason for visiting it. Keeping my CT non-resident permit.
 
That's why you need to be a resident in more than one state.
I found out that CT doesn’t honor that.

What do you mean?

CT is more than happy to provide resident Pistol Permits to part time residents there. I know several people with summer homes in CT who have resident PPs. This is 100% consistent with ATF guidance.

If you need help with this, let me know.

Appreciate the offer, but it's history now. We built a house in GA in 2016, sold the camper in CT in 2023. I no longer have property in CT, and have a non-resident CT weapons permit.
