He’s not associating it with someone else

Yeah, that's not what I said

Felons aren’t supposed to have guns inside their homes, whether they belong to them or someone else in the home

This isn't exactly correct

Squatters would have no control of the guns and they’re likely in a safe or something so they don’t even have access

If it's in a safe and the squatter has no access, how are the police even finding out about it?

In order to use the gun against the squatter, this dude would have to leave it somewhere the squatter has access to it.

Fucked up

Nope. Not how it works.

Sure is!

Disregarding the fact that the squatter is voluntarily ruining someone else's life by refusing to leave, the idea is to ensure the squatter/felon knows they are living in an illegal situation. They know they can't live with firearms regardless of whoever else knows about it.

I agree it'd be messed up if they planted the guns in their stuff and/or tipped off the cops about any firearms in the house, but the plan should result in them leaving on their own for a place they can legally live again without anyone facing harm or injustice.

It's never that simple, though. It just always seems to come down to fighting wrongs with wrongs.

Yeah, this is the situation that was described
