This sounds *really* odd, is this legal?

I have this friend who lives in an Ohio apartment that does NOT have a posting forbidding handguns. He was told by the owner that the only person allowed to have a gun on the property is the owner, himself. When my friend declared that he had a CCW, the property owner said, "I don't care. I'm the only one allowed to have a gun around here." The property owner sounds like diane fienstein to me ("I'm allowed to carry a gun because I'm better than you and you can't have one because you're nobody."), so we're wondering the legality surrounding this type of situation. Shouldn't it be the case that it guns are forbidden for one person, they're forbidden for everybody? Can rules be selectively enforced and should my friend continue to keep his guns at his friend's house and live with it? :neo:
 
If there is nothing forbidding guns in his lease agreement that he signed the owner can go pound sand. While he lives there under the terms of the lease agreement, his apartment is as good as his own legal property. It is deemed his "place of abode" or "real property under his control." The only thing governing what he can or cannot have in the apartment is the lease agreement. The owner has the option to not let him renew the lease when it expires if he chooses to keep guns there but he cannot verbally forbid him from keeping guns there or evict him for it.
 
Tell him to check the lease. A property my company has done Security for has successfully evicted a CPL holder and a man who openly carried on a daily basis. Its ONLY legal for anything of the sort to happen IF he signed a lease stating he is not allowed to do so ON the property, however, there is no way, to my knowledge the Property Manager can enforce anything relating to in HIS apartment or in HIS vehicle.
 
Ohio law states that a landlord can not stop a renter from keeping firearms in the home. Ill try to find the code and post it.

You are telling me, that a land lord, can remove the 2A from the law of the land?
Total bull.
Can he also tell you not to speak your mind? (1A)
Is he willing to protect you from ALL harm, and put it in writing?
 
to call the landlord's office, do you have to press 1 for English...and be routed to India where they don't speak it....What a JOKE!!! NO one and I mean NO one can tell me I'm not allowed to carry, but only they are...they can kiss my booty on that one...! Keep your guns, unless it is in your lease agreement...and if it isn't...get a lawyer...
 
First of ll it's none of the landlords business as long as you're not breaking the law. 2nd if there is a clause saying firearms are not permitted on the property then it applies to him as well.
 
That provided the exact answer to my specific question. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your input!

Thank you!
 
I want to extend my appreciation to each of you who have read or posted in this thread.

I truly appreciate America's gun community; our ability to rally, show support and help one another has always been inspiring.

Thank you for the help you provide our country in pursuit of freedom and defending the Constitution of this great land!

You're probably right, but I see little difference between banning guns or Bibles and prohibiting gun owners or Baptists. The duty of government is to protect our constitutional rights, whether it be freedom of religion or the right to keep and bear arms. Can a lease be used to abrogate fundamental human rights? I think not...
 
Ohio CHL law states that a landlord may not prohibit or restrict a tenant with a concealed carry license from lawfully carrying or possessing a handgun on a residential premises. Tell him to look at page 16 in the state handbook he was given when he took the course.
 
Is there any wonder why I dont want to move back east? Ill keep northeastern Nevada for a while longer untill I can pay cash for my Idaho property

If this is correct, the OP's friend should record the date, time, and details of any discussions with the property manager or owner regarding this topic. Save anything given to him in written form, and if possible get recordings of any conversations.
