Read further down the page too idiot..... and elsewhere in the book.... If the military member is a resident of another state (has a drivers lic, etc...) from his home State, He CAN STILL BUY FIREARMS THERE ALSO!!! get a clue dude, you are proving officers havent a clue, like I knew all along in my 25+ yrs with the military...
This whole discussion is off topic for this thread. However, I notice that when some people cannot back their statements up with facts, instead of just admitting they are wrong they will resort to name calling and belittlement in an attempt to somehow make their arguments stronger. Personally, I choose to just present the facts, (which you have so conveniently provided yourself), which prove your assertions to be incorrect.
From the very document that you posted on page 8:
Sales to Members of the Armed Forces
A member of the Armed Forces on active duty is a resident of the State in which his or her permanent duty station is located. However, if a military member maintains a home in one State and has a permanent duty station in a another State to which he or she commutes each day, the military member has two States of residence and may purchase a firearm in either State—and must list both the residence address and permanent duty station in Item 2 on the Form 4473.
A military member on active duty must present either a current driver’s license or State identification card from your State, or a copy of the official orders showing the military member’s permanent duty station in your State along with a military photo identification card, an out-of-State driver’s license, or an out-of-State identification card.
On page 6 are the requirements for the use of a Driver's License as a stand alone identification document:
Military members and legal aliens may have special identification document considerations.
No additional valid identification documentation is required of an active-duty member of the Armed Forces or a legal alien if he or she possesses a valid identification document (e.g., driver’s license) that contains his or her name, residence address, date of birth, and photograph and is issued by the State in which your business premises is located. If a member of the Armed Forces or a legal alien does not possess a valid, State-issued identification document with the necessary information, you may accept a combination of valid Government-issued documents to satisfy the identification document requirement. A member of the Armed Forces on active duty may satisfy the identification document requirement by presenting his or her military identification card along with official orders showing his or her permanent duty station.
If you notice, question 2 on the form 4473 asks for
Current Residence Address. Clearly, the ATF considers the
Current Residence Address to be where the military member commutes to every day if they do not live at their permanent duty station. If the service member happens to have a driver's license that shows their
current residence address on it, that is all they need. They are not required to show military ID or orders. However, most military members won't have a driver's license that has their current residence address on it; and, it that case, they can prove residency in the state their orders are to by showing their military ID card which proves identity, and their orders which prove state of residence.
It really is quite simple.... it just doesn't agree with what you claim to be true. There is a huge difference between showing a driver's license that has the actual real and current residence address on it - and showing a driver's license that has an outdated address that the person no longer resides at in order to deceive the FFL because the person also lied on what their
CURRENT residence address is on the form 4473 (the location where the person is present with the intention of making a home there.) It would be quite humorous for me to show my Wyoming driver's license to an FFL in Wyoming and attempt to claim to be a Wyoming resident because my Home of Record is Wyoming because even the state of Wyoming can understand that I am a resident of where I live, which is Washington, because they printed my Washington address on the driver's license the last time I renewed.
