I am NOT now a resident of LA, nor do I have any particular ties to LA. I'm planning to move outside the country (Mexico) whereupon, I would not be a resident of ANY State. That, then, becomes somewhat of a problem particularly as respects purchasing a handgun in ANY State; there would be NO State where I would be a resident. Under these circumstances, it's probably a good idea to leave my current (northern) State of residence, sojourn in a southern State where I would establish residence as minimally as possible, acquire a driver's license and CCP, and then move on to Mexico. Thereupon, I IMAGINE that I MIGHT be able to retain an IN-State driver's license and CCP in that State and retain the right to buy a handgun in that State. (I see that LA issues CCPs only to "residents". I'm willing to acquire LA residency; just NOT MAINTAIN LA residency.)
I have no inclination to violate any Federal or State law. So, I'd like to know if LA laws are flexible enough to make it feasible for me to RETAIN legal residence - for purposes of holding a drivers license and a CCP - while not spending any substantial amount of time in LA.
I presume I could maintain some nominal ties to LA. E.g., maintain a physical address; visit the State once or twice a year. However, I would not be able - nor would I be willing - to designate LA as my domicile (primary residence) nor even a part-time residence for any material period of time. E.g., I could buy a small plot of land/house in LA but not actually live there.
Any input would be appreciated; including, that it's not worth pursuing in LA.
Thanks
