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.

Here is a list of acceptable residency documents as published by the CA DOJ. Here is the specific penal code saying that you may use a lease agreement or "other evidence of residency as permitted by the Department of Justice" (see previous link). Never take legal advice from gun stores.
