. May a person who resides in one State and owns property in another State purchase a firearm in either State? If a person maintains a home in 2 States and resides in both States for certain periods of the year, he or she may during the period of time the person actually resides in a particular State, purchase a firearm in that State. However, simply owning property in another State does not alone qualify the person to purchase a firearm in that State.
