I was exiting 465 today when I saw one of the professional homeless that haunts the exits of the metro area and had a thought...
He makes good money doing this... What if I had a mind to rob him? (hypothetical thought of course)
I thought about it and realized that the 2A in Indiana only effectively applies to the "rich"... as in those who can afford a home/apartment or have a fixed domicile.
A TRULY homeless person or even one homeless by choice (i.e. car living) has no set "home" and so by the effect of the current laws only has the legal ability to own edged or blunt weapons in Indiana and many other states, especially those with Licensing/Permit requirements. Even Indiana requires a $100+ fee and a current physical address to have a valid LTCH. Sure, there are long guns, but those are bulky, obvious, and attract unwanted attention as well as still requiring avoiding the 1000ft school Felony zone or special handling (SBS).
So would that make gun control, especially licensing schemes, not only unconstitutional and racist in origin... but also class warfare? (see what I did there?)
