If I drive home while on SC and I’m out of position and get a call (both sources said that’s perfectly legal) for an assignment and can’t make it in, I’m on the hook. I know this is different but the concept is similar, you can make a solid argument that you’d be fatigued in the morning for that LC assignment, IMO.
Be very careful about telling the company you are not rested based on where you live. The book answer from the company would be that you proceed to your domicile and spend the night. They are not going to entertain different rules for every pilot based on where they reside.
