..............................:lol: ^ ^ ^ :lol:Just plain old reason does. Laws are cited in most posts on OCDO. Cites are rarely provided. Why not? Because the cites are unchallenged. Again, if and when this poster says I am wrong (as he seems to be implying), I will cite.
Feel free to continue stalking me, and nitpicking away. It is making clear to all who read what you are doing. I will move on, awaiting an on-topic reply.
BTW - I agree it is or should be clear to anyone reading that adherance to the rules is a basic responsibilty of all that use this site. What is diiferent is that others oblige w/o avoidance. This law of which you speak is not common knowledge amongst all of our readers.
I will provide one such cite.
[h=6]Q: What constitutes residency in a State?[/h] The State of residence is the State in which an individual is present; the individual also must have an intention of making a home in that State. 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. If a member of the Armed Forces maintains a home in one State and the member’s permanent duty station is in a nearby State to which he or she commutes each day, then the member has two States of residence and may purchase a firearm in either the State where the duty station is located or the State where the home is maintained. An alien who is legally in the United States is considered to be a resident of a State only if the alien is residing in that State and has resided in that State continuously for a period of at least 90 days prior to the date of sale of the firearm. See also Item 5, “Sales to Aliens in the United States,” in the General Information section of this publication.
