Here's an interesting situation to think about..... I am a student in Atlanta, GA and my permanent residence is in Tennessee. I would like to purchase a handgun for home protection concerns, but I am not allowed to purchase a handgun from a dealer because I am not a PERMANENT resident of the state. An interesting fact here is that according to a local dealer, I can purchase a handgun with a Tennessee driver's license and a State of Georgia Identification card. However, I can't get a Georgia ID without turning in my Tennessee drivers license. Furthermore, it would be illegal for me to purchase a handgun from an INDIVIDUAL who is a resident of the state of Georgia, so that's another strike against me. Here's the clincher... I am never in Tennessee during a college break for more than one week, and there is a 15 day waiting period. Stuck again! Does this seem strange, or am I crazy? If you have had any experience or think that I have been misinformed, please mail me a message. I'm really upset! Thanks..... -P <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> J.
