Here's one for ya! I am stationed at Offutt but live in Iowa and my drivers license is not from either of those states (a legal resident of the DL state). It was easy when I lived in Nebraska, you just gave the county your orders, some money and NE address and they sold you the purchase permit. Am I good just going through any ole FFL in Iowa or is this one of those situations that is more convoluted?
Thanks!

Unless something has changed since I lived in Iowa, they also require a purchase permit for handguns which was only good for one year. I think it is now good for five years which makes a lot more sense.
You may able to show your orders and something that shows where you are living and get their permit. I recommend checking with the Sheriffs Department.
When I was stationed in Utah I ran into the same issue as I was legally a resident of Florida. One of the things I did to help minimize the issues was to have my Utah address on my Florida Drivers License. As long as the address on the drivers license showed that I lived in Utah they didn't really care who issued the license. I also had a Utah CC permit with the same address on it.

Thanks for the info. Looks like the permit is for 5 years now. Will check with the county and see what they say.
