Apartment residents told they cant own guns.

I can see how this would be legal if you were entering into a new lease or renewing an existing one. However if you are in the middle of a lease I do not think it would be legal unless the lease states they can change the conditions at any time.

Tom Martino was saying this very thing this morning, and he also said he wants to sue the apartment landlord. He seemed very serious about getting precedent set and disallowing this type of bs.

Free market, how does that work?

This. I am of the mind that people should be allowed to do business with whomever they like for whatever reason. Particularly in the modern era with instant reviews of everyplace imaginable, word would get out that "He doesn't serve <insert whatever group here>" and would either suffer for it or succeed through like-minded people.

Colion Noir picked up the story. Said He'd either help pay for the lawyer or the move. Personally, Id move.

I bet no LEO's live there...yeah I wrote their management a little email!

If the resident was being asked to move out because he was in a same sex relationship, would it still be "His house, his rules. Don't like it, move"? What is the difference besides one is a constitutional right.

Well put.

People are talking about how the "free market" might permit a landlord from discriminating against blacks or gays, but there are specific federal and state laws to prevent that sort of discrimination, with agencies to enforce it.

Which I disagree with. At one time they were appropriate but no more.

Last I checked, the US Constitution trumps "federal and state laws."

On Michael Brown just now, a commissioner from that area just said the policy has been rescinded (the parent company wasn't aware of it or something I think is what they said). Will look for another source on this.

Edit: A Douglas County commissioner. The Housing Authority didn't know about it, and told the management company they wouldn't enact it.

Damn. I know this guy. He's one of my old customers. He's an awesome dude. He goes gold panning, turkey hunting, etc.

You should make the hook up and see if this goes anywhere.

"I posted this story on my site and it's pissing me off. I want to help pay for his legal fees to fight this or help pay to help find somewhere he can live and still protect himself and hunt. So, if anyone has a direct line to this guy or a way I can get in touch with him please send me an email at mrcolionnoir@gmail.com
