Gentlemen: I could use your assistance please in helping sort out a legal issue involving the transfer of firearms.

This would be regarding the Commonwealth of Virginia as well as Federal Laws. It seems somewhat ambiguous as to term "resident." Could you given me what your view of that term is as a member of LEO or firearms professionals, personal opinion, etc?

RE: Person A, for the past six years [and continues to,] has lived in Virginia, works in Virginia, purchased a house in VA...HOWEVER; this same person maintains a Florida drivers license, Flordia registration on all vehicles and is registered to vote in Florida. [NOT military]

Would this person be a resident of Virginia or Florida with respect to obtaining a firearm?

Is proof of residency for firearms the same as the residency laws for taxation, meaning same requirements apply to prove residency?

Also, do the same laws apply to a firearms transaction if someone gifts a handgun to another person as they do when obtaining through a dealer?

I'd appreciate any insight you might share. Thanks much in advance!
