Notwithstanding the lack of a permanent address would it be possible for someone living in a homeless camp / shelter to purchase a firearm for personal self defense? My question is specific to Washington State due to the passage of I-594.
I know there are some FFL "dealers" here, how would you handle the 4473 form in the case of a homeless person attempting to purchase a firearm?
I am basically asserting, the government is in fact preventing citizens in this situation from exercising the right to arms simply because they do not have permanent residence.
I also acknowledge it is possible to acquire firearms legally without a government permission slip, it seems unlikely in the case of this woman and many others in the same situation.

There is a difference between being homeless and not having a permanent address, let alone a place of residence. Many times the permanent address is different from the place of residence. What does the 4473 ask for?
Most of the answers are state-specific and tied to issues of voter registration.
