Heller does not specifically address the issue outside the home. It talks about self defense and that it is at it maximum inside the home. While most courts seem to concede that there is some right outside the home, the extent of the right appears to be very limited. All most all restrictions are upheld. This case is yet another example.
So what if your homeless? Do you not have a right to keep a firearm for self-defense?
If you don't have a "home", then you would have to be able to carry it with you in public, either concealed or openly, in order to exercise the right.
Or does a homeless person get to say, well the streets/outdoors is my home, home defined as a place of living/dwelling, hence they are allowed to carry a firearm in public?
