Need proof of residency for handgun purchase, help?

Question

I'm 21 and want to buy a handgun in California, but I don't have utility bills, property deeds, vehicle registration under my name (I do have a drivers license), or anything like that. I have bought firearms before but this is my first handgun. What other options do I have?

Answer 1

i'd try my drivers license and/or birth certificate, but your Drivers license should work

Answer 2

Wait a minute, Are you trying to tell me that Calipornia is now requiring proof of residency beyond a DL? A State issued Drivers License?

What absolute lunacy...Who came up with that one Diane Fienstien? Barbara (I sell bras) Boxer?

Answer 3

birth cert,

Answer 4

Unfortunately you may be stuck.  PC 12071 requires a driver's license and additional proof of residence.  Phone bills won't work but a residential lease or rental agreement will.  Even if you are living at home you can enter into a lease agreement with your parents to fulfill the requirements of the law.  Any government issued identification (like a Passport) that includes your address will also satisfy the requirements of the law.

Answer 5

Don't California drivers licences have your address on them so the cops can give tickets for not getting it changed if you move?

Answer 6

Voter registration, join the Democratic party, try to modify their stand on guns and gun rights.

Answer 7

If you have a job you could probably use a paystub.
