homeless with guns

been a long time since you paid rent, lead counsel?

I don't honestly think that a person can get a roof over their heads anywhere in america at this time for much less than $3-500 per month. I'm not sure that there has ever been a worse time to be poor in america for at least half a century.

I'm supposing that the poster is looking at these weapons as a source of nutrition.

Good luck to him.
 
^^^ On the plus side, the morally flexible can avail themselves of many opportunities for comfortable temporary housing in all the vacant homes that have been forclosed upon.

I was thinking the same thing. On that note, I would suggest an older .22 bolt-action single-shot. Reasons:
  • Legal to possess pretty much anywhere that a firearm can be legally possessed.
  • Very non-threatening and therefore unlikely to be taken away if the OP is rousted by the police for some reason.
  • Many older designs are takedowns. Not only does this make it easier to transport the gun, it's also easy to store it in a "disassembled" and/or "non-functional" state for added legal protection in restrictive jurisdictions. (For example, a Winchester Model 67 can be taken down or reassembled in seconds using only a penny as a tool.)
  • On a more practical note, they're generally cheap to buy and about as unbreakable as firearms come.
 
Rent

Okay, let's say that he can get $500 or even $1000 for his car.

Clearly a $300 apartment is better than living in a car or on the street. $1000 buys him 2 months rent and security deposit and some basic groceries for a week or two

$8 per hour x 40 hours per week x 4 weeks = $1280 per month. Not getting rich, but also not homeless. Able to pay your bills. Also likely qualify for aid like food stamps.

Keep in mind, without an address he's likely not going to get a job.

I was poor once too, and have lived in my share of dumpy houses and apartments. But you do what you have to do to get by. Homeless would just simply NOT be an option.

To keep this on point for guns, what if his car that he's living in gets robbed or towed while he's out getting food? He could lose everything. Impounded? That would cost him a lot of $ to get it out, and presumably he'd not be able to get it out of impound and he'd lose his guns in the process.
 
go to keywest(I'm guessing you said MN when it is summer). You might be able to make some cash down there by posting a sign: "dirty jokes for a dollar" or something. There are lots of homeless there and it is 'alive' 24/7 due to crusie ships, tourists and so-on. I like the dude with the dog that grabs dollars from people's mouth. ghost tours, whatever, theres stuff to do to earn some cah and its warm. I saw a bunch of dudes hiking there when I drove
 
maybe you should sell the guns and use the money for living expenses. i had to do that one time. i recomend you selling all your guns and just buying a small raven arms .22 pocket pistol. there only about 50 bucks. keep one of those on you until you get the money to rebuy all your other firearms.
