Yes I know some of the ways things can be done.
However that does not address the many government requirements for a permanent address for various things.
A drivers license requires notification of change of address in a short time.
Many times they won't take a P.O. Box, this means you cannot technically be in compliance with the law. Especially if you stay some places on occassion like with friends or family that could count as a residence for a time.
Various state and local procedures often require a permanent address.
Some states only allow firearm ownership at home, then permit the gun to be transferred to the range and for similar exempted purposes.
NJ as in the OP is such a state I believe.
In these states getting a gun without a permanent residence may be really tough.
Then actually legally owning would be equally difficult to abide by the law.
Gun ownership is not the only formal procedure with such issues.
Some people get around this issue for things like obtaining a driver's license by putting down another address, but is that technically legal? Lying on a formal document, under penalty of perjury, that your address is something it is not, because you don't have an address and if you don't put one you cannot proceed?
Yet that is a common thing done by people living in RVs in some states. Like putting the address of a family member they could recieve the mail from.
I wonder how many crimes they are committing.
There is ways to make it work, but this is the legal section, making it work legally is different than just making it work.
Not having a home is for all intents and purposes a crime, I didn't say you couldn't get away with it.
You must loiter, trespass, lie on documents, etc at various times.
