"Carrying a gun during a crime" is not "having a gun at home", unless you're doing the crime at home. It's particularly hard to do the crime of breaking and entering at your own home.
- brandonmenc 11y agoThere's some confusion in this sub-thread. I was originally replying to the comment: > Since the anti-gun lobby cannot outlaw them completely they tack on automatic sentence multipliers for any crime where a gun is found even if the gun was not directly used. which is about carrying a gun while committing a crime. In general, I don't think you should get a harsher sentence for having a gun at home, away from the crime scene. However it's a grey area when you're running a continuous illegal operation using your home as a base.
