When it's private property, it their say. I would check with a lawyer and or the controlling entity that controls rental property and governing laws. BUT, your attached states "THE USE". Me thinks they're deferring any Liability and the option to terminate lease if so needed if you USE your firearm in defending your apartment or yourself. Kind of a Zimmerman ripple in the pond of life. At least that's what I see.

No one should ever know you have a gun on you until you have to use it. The Same goes for your closet or gun safe.
My in laws wanted me to buy a home in their gated community. I declined and bought outside of their community. Why? Because my home is my castle and no one is going to tell me how much dead grass my yard can have, what color my house can be, or where my pool or swing set can be.
Keep your guns to yourself and you'll have no problem.
However, I am sorry your having to deal with this.

The word "possession" is also mentioned. That's what worries me. I'm a security guard and they know it, and they know I carry for work, which means it's safe to assume that they know I keep a gun in my apartment. It's being armed when I'm not in uniform that has me wondering about the consequences.

An apartment complex in Castle Rock, CO tried that. It didn't happen. Think it might not even be legal, though I don't remember the particulars, and it likely depends on state. There are more legally inclined forum members than me... so I'm betting someone will chime in soon. Check around, though, and it would be a good idea to ask a lawyer.

I don't think housing rules allow landlords to make second-class citizens of any constitutionally-protected class of people when it comes to leasing a domicile. I would be very surprised if something like that would fly in Alabama.
Does the complex have armed security there? If not, how can they even come close to ensuring your security in your own home if they deny you the right (or in this case, the privilege I guess) of protecting yourself?
If consulting a lawyer is too much expense, then I'd say move. Sounds like that's what they're out to accomplish anyway. Staying without having a lawyer in the wings seems like asking for trouble to me.

I am pretty sure that landlords can not ban tenants from owning and or having guns on their property. They can ban smoking but not guns. I have been a landlord and do believe that I am correct in this and I don't care what state you are in. Chicago tried to ban all guns but that goit shot down!

Here in South Carolina it is not legal to tell anyone who is in legal possession/control of "real property" that they cannot have a gun. Even if you rent a hotel room at a hotel that prohibits firearms, that room is considered your real property for the rented amount of time.

there was a case from DE that made it to the supreme court about the state trying to ban guns from public housing projects, I believe that the supremes ruled that the state, acting as a landlord does not have the power to stop people from having guns in their government provided residences.
I can't read sideways could you maybe turn the picture right side up?

NO! It's not their say. They may not stop a resident from possessing his legally owned firearm in the apartment he rents from them. Andrew Cuomo tried this while serving as HUD secretary under Clinton. It was ruled unconstitutional and firearm rights were restored.

Get a petition going then threaten them with a class action lawsuit for rights violations. They can not override the constitution and deny people the right to self defense.

I think their main objective here is fireworks.
It was sent out at the beginning of July.
~Please consider this as a first and final warning~
~Please do not allow the noncompliance of your guests result in eviction~
As for the part about possession I think that is also more about fireworks. Some idiot shoots off fireworks for 20 minutes and then goes inside to get another beer as police or apartment management get there. "I wasn't shootin any of them fireworks." It doesn't matter because they can evict him for possession of those fireworks even though they didn't actually see him set any of them off.
If they know you are a security guard and that you carry a weapon they probably would have given you trouble before now if they had a problem with any resident possessing a gun in their apartment.
If this was down here in Texas I would guess they added the part about firearms because our lovely southerly invaders sometimes enjoy shooting their guns into the sky.

A lady goes to the doctor with a pain in her side and tells the doctor, "I asked the pharmacist at the drugstore about this pain I am having." The doctor huffs and puffs and asks her, "What stupid advice could a pharmacist possibly give you?" The lady replies, "He told me to come see you."
If the OP talked to lawyer instead, wouldn't they be taking advice from a +40yo member that still lives with their Mom - YOU? Is it really necessary to include derogatory statments about other forum members in your post? Seems to me like you are the one seeking attention from mom's basement with your hissy fits.

Move... I would check the rental agreement you signed or the handbook you were give to see if this is a reminder of an existing rule or a new rule that you didn't agree to in your contract, then go from there,
