    Of course there are many laws that can take away a person's rights to keep and bear arms. You probably are no more qualified that I am to decide if any apply in this case.

    But if you want to test your theory try to get into a federal building with a gun. Or commmit a felony and ten apply for a gun permit.

    i dont think there is a criminal statute for invasion of privacy, but entering her private bedroom and going through her belongings without her permission certainly sounds like trespassing to me.

    Maybe you should read the rest of the posts. They were never called nor did they see the guns in the house. The safe storage appears to be after the guns were removed from the house and turned over to the police.

    Especially if the door to her living space had a lock.

    And if the guns were locked up how did the trespassers know there were guns in the place where they were locked up? Did the break the lock, or pick the lock?

    In response to the email from Pirnie's roommate, Lewis contacted Captain James Donovan of the Somerville Police Department to inspect Pirnie's firearms and ensure they were in compliance with Massachusetts law. Pirnie agreed to allowing the police to inspect her firearms and said she was told she is in compliance with all applicable laws. Lewis acknowledged the department's conclusion that Pirnie was not breaking any gun laws in his email telling Pirnie to move out.

    If a room is being paid for as a 'singular and private bedroom' in a multi-person household, trespassing could very well hold up. Expectation of privacy in one's personal space.

    Using the fact that she owned a MAGA hat and is from Alabama to violate her personal space is just an excuse which isn't going to hold much in a court of law.

    I hope she roasts them legally.

    Tenant-landlord statutes, case law and common law state emphatically that you are misinformed. A lease is considered ownership for a period of years. It's legal stability is evidenced by the lessees ability to substantially improve the property and use the leasehold property as collateral for capital improvement loans.

    Your claim of 'days and out' is silly, eviction requires a writ of possession from the courts, and that isn't going to happen quickly if at all without a serious violation of the lease, eg; failure to pay or opperation of a blatantly criminal enterprise on the property.

    'Just because' isn't going to cut it and would most likely cause monetary loss by the lessor for bringing a frivolous case to court.

    so you agree that the weapon(s) were stored safely in a locked box and thay you were wrong when you said “this idiot left a loaded gun lying around.”

    more accurately it sounds like you are the one making things up about “an idiot leaving loaded guns lying around.”

    Are you a landlord? you're completely wrong. The Landlord has a right to deny pets because various of obvious reasons like a owning a pet isn't a right and can cause damage to the property. It's why hotels charge pet fees. An individual owning a firearm is right and if isn't written into the contract of the lease the landlord has no grounds of evicting her. She can sue for unlawful eviction.

    Having a weapon in one's home isn't arrogance it's prudence.

    lol... in your own private residence and you are a law abiding citizen? I think not.

    But, you Authoritarian Leftists keep looking for ways to deny people their Constitutional Rights.

    Lol! Just because you can write a clause into a residential lease agreement doesnt make it enforceable or legal. In fact, the inclusion of discriminating language in a lease contract may very well be evidence of action, or intent, to violate a tenant's legal rights.

    So, no, there is no absolute right for a landlord to refuse anyone for any reason; statute, federal code, agency rules and case law are full of prohibitions against a landlords legal ability to restrict tenants in possession.

    Neither have I. Hence the "if".
    OTOH, it is unlikely that a single woman would sleep in a living space without a lock on the door
