I was in Bass Pro Shop in SoCal (the one) yesterday and people were freaked buying ammo. The guy at the pop up counter set up to handle the influx of new gun owners tells me they are out of ammo by noon most days. I am a new gun owner and I can’t actually pick up my gun because I don’t have a utility bill in my name (renting a room). Yesterday was eerie, the sky was orange brown, the air lingered with smoke haze and falling ash. People milling about tensely trying to buy guns and ammo on Labor Day.
You can use your lease as a proof of residency. If you don't have a written lease then just print and fill out the CA standard lease agreement. I had the same problem with the first handgun I bought. The gun shop actually printed the lease for me, and waited while I went out to the parking lot where I met my landlord who was conveniently right there to sign it. God bless Tracy Rifle and Pistol.
No problem! Just be aware, the address on your proof of residency must match either your current residential address as listed on the DROS form or the address on your driver's license. If your DL doesn't match your lease and you used the DL address on the DROS then your lease will not work as a proof of residency.
Also a fishing license works (even a 1 day license). Cheap way to get around this nonsense.
Some 2A organization really needs to get a homeless plaintiff and sue the state over this particular garbage law.
They said I can use vehicle registration, driver’s license, and/or utility bill. I’ll try the lease agreement and if that doesn’t work then I have to just let the gun I bought get refunded. I don’t have time to go to the DMV right now. I’m slammed at work which is the whole reason I have been working on getting my CCW since late last year. Job sites can be in remote areas.

Thanks pede!! I was dreading having to go to the DMV. I have the lease agreement with signatures on file.
