You can't have guns here... (Apartment Leases)

Well, there's some info we didn't have yesterday.

Horrible reportage to go with this story.



No kidding.

Ya think that the fact that the apartment complex was a county owned, partially federally funded, senior citizen housing project might be just a little important to the discussion?

Why?

Is the 2nd Amendment null and void if it is?

Given that it is public housing, county owned and (partially) federally funded, it stops being a "private property" issue. The Constitution and the rights it ensures most definitely apply here.
They wouldn't if it was privately owned.



There are still some issues around trying to alter the leasing agreement mid flight without consent from both parties.

No. That's the point.

HOWEVER, it IS "null and void" if it's PRIVATE property, which is what the first report seemed to indicate.

Yes, if you are on someone's priviate property

maybe it's semantics or so, but here's how I see it:

Bill of Rights relates how the government is limited in its intrusions on us. When individuals unjustly intrude upon others, then the government is obliged to stand up for the law, but not to define it as such.

As for private party relationships, that's handled (legally) in terms of contractual relationships (and common courtesy, etc) - in this case, it's less "null and void" and more like "not applicable". My house (my apartment complex, my office building, etc) = my rules. But once gov gets involved, then both the constitution and contractual agreements both have to apply and not be in conflict.

Maybe, maybe not. It all depends upon the rental agreement that the landlord & the renter signed.

How many people actually read those things in detail before they sign them? I would guess less than 10%.

It's going to be a great day when those same people who get their panties all in a twist over the second amendment do it with the same vigor over the first amendment.



It is going to be a great day when people support the 2nd like they do the 1st, 4th...etc.

I tend to support ALL the rights in the BoR's.... For that, some call me an extremist.

If it something you sign and agree to then yes
But coming in later and saying we are changing the deal

I also seem to remember a public housing gun ban that got shot down (couldnt resist) but I will have to see if I can find that

***Oh, that was fast. They threw it out / reversed themselves already.

Well, they didn't actually "reverse themselves."

The policy was put in place by a private management company.
When the actual owners (the county) found out that the managers were putting this policy in place without consulting with the owners, the county told the management company "You can't do that."

Given that it is public housing, county owned and (partially) federally funded, it stops being a "private property" issue. The Constitution and the rights it ensures most definitely apply here.
They wouldn't if it was privately owned.

Ah, public housing - That changes things.
