There&#x27;s some confusion in this sub-thread. I was originally replying to the comment:<p>&gt; 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.<p>which is about carrying a gun while committing a crime.<p>In general, I don&#x27;t think you should get a harsher sentence for having a gun at home, away from the crime scene. However it&#x27;s a grey area when you&#x27;re running a continuous illegal operation using your home as a base.
