Possession of a state's drivers license is used by other laws and regulations
to prove that the possessor has a legal residence in that state. For example,
the BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms) regulations regarding the
filling out of the federal form required when you purchase any cartridge
firearm explicitly refer to the use of a drivers license as identification
which proves that you are a resident of that state. (The general rule is that,
with certain specific exceptions, you must be a resident within the state
where you purchase the firearm, and demonstrate that to the dealer from whom
your purchase it.)

So having drivers licenses from other states can be used to circumvent
this sort of thing. If that license clearly showed your address to be
in another state than the one issuing the license, this may not be
applicable -- do all states have the address on the license? (Missouri
does, and that's the only one I know for sure.)
