“You okay with that?”

Of course not————just not familiar with gun laws.

A few weeks ago, I came back to my apartment from a weekend trip and was confronted by one of my roommates who asked if I had guns in the house. After being told far too many lies to count, my roommates finally admitted that they searched my closet, under my bed, and all of my drawers in pursuit of finding my guns.
When I asked them why they were in my room to begin with, they each came up with completely contradicting stories (none of which made any sense), but one comment struck me in particular: “We saw that you had a MAGA hat and come on, you’re from Alabama… so we just kind of assumed that you had something.” I asked why they didn’t just call me and ask me before intruding. One of the girls responded that fear took over her body and she felt compelled to search my room until she found proof… I cannot make this up.
I have 3 1970’s vintage Marlins in 30-30, those were the golden days for those rifles.
Next time I’m caught pilfering through people’s belongings I’m going to use the “just checking for guns” defense.
It's quite easy really. Easier if your local police chief is a stand up guy (or gal).
I had no problem getting my Class 1 LTC and renewal is easy too. I have quite a collection of various platforms.
Chastised? The roommates need to be chastised? These are adults somebody else’s private rented space with intent to commit an illegal act. It’s burglary and they should be arrested
just say no and pull a gun on his as$
On the other hand, I’d be moving out anyway if my roommates were going through my stuff and ratting me out to anyone.
You don’t have problems buying, or going to ranges, going to the hills and target shooting.
She should have tied the Gun Case Zipper to a large Mousetrap. When little-Miss Nosey unzipped the black bag holding a long gun, she would hear (and feel) a loud SNAP!!
If there was a fixed camera running then, she would have the satisfaction of evidence plus a hilarious photograph of the guilty party in a state of sheer panic!
Not if they used the standard board of realtors lease for the area.
I agree, arrest is what is called for in this case.
However, my “chastise” is not a slap on the wrist, nor a verbal tongue lashing, it is with canes, just as the Singapore treatment of some criminals.
Yes, and you even need a permit to buy or possess a rifle, or ammunition. Much too much regulation.
Handguns. Plural.
My kind of woman! ;^)
Did he steal the $25,000. I sent her for books?
“You need a permit in Massachusetts before you can even buy a hand gun?”
In NC you have needed a handgun purchase permit, or a concealed gun permit, for any handgun transfer of any kind, since about 1995.
Since I don’t yet have a concealed handgun permit, I have to go to the Sheriff for a handgun purchase permit, to buy a handgun.
“Massachusetts Law requires firearm owners to be licensed through their local Police Department or the Massachusetts State Police if no local licensing authority is available. A license is required by state law for buying firearms and ammunition. An applicant must have passed a State approved firearm safety course before applying for a license.”
You go through all that, and you still get booted from your home?
One other note, if the roomies found the guns, they must not have been secured while the owner was gone, which is not good.
Not if they used the standard board of realtors lease for the area.
According to another story/thread on this, there was nothing in the lease about having legal firearms on the property.
No; he is violating housing law — unless his lease forbids firearms, which is not standard leasing language. If not, she is entitled to quiet enjoyment of the premises. The question of who’s on the hook for the rent may be a question of who signed the lease. Or Mass. case law may apply. I’m not a lawyer and don’t live in Mass.
The case made it to the Federal courts and eventually to SCOTUS,which ruled 9-0 that that Massachusetts law was a violation of 2nd Amendment rights.In the narrative of SCOTUS's decision it was noted that the Massachusetts Supreme Court's ruling was "frivolous".
The NRA should help fund this woman's legal fight,IMO.
