Privacy Violation: A Massachusetts landlord has asked a Harvard University graduate student to move out of her apartment after her roommates pilfered through her belongings and found her legally-owned handguns.
As reported by the Washington Free Beacon, the student, Leyla Pirnie, says that Dave Lewis, president of Avid Management, asked her to move because now her roomies feel “uncomfortable” knowing there are guns about.
“Since it’s clear that Leyla wants to keep her firearms, it would be best for all parties if she finds another place to live,” he told the website in an email.

I’m surprised a Harvard Grad actually owns a handgun.
There are clearly cracks in the indoctrination bubble and echo chamber. Some are slipping through.
“having a permit...”
Look up the definition of “infringe.” Your police are infringing on a right given to you by the Constitution.
There has been a steady encroachment of our rights by government.
It should be stopped by the USSC.
basically same permitting requirements as in NY State.
The landlord owns the property. It is his business.
I thought businesses could ban guns on their property.
.
The Jew admitted what?
I worked for over 40 years as an institutional equities trader ... they are all Republicans, Everyone has guns. My family are all farmers in Ventura. Every single one a Republican ... all have guns.
New York has the Sullivan law, specifically put into place (driven by Tammany-Hall member Sullivan) to keep criminals from being shot while mugging people. Sullivan, a state senator ran the gangs at the time.
You can own a firearm in Boston. You just need to know a police officer that can help you move the paperwork through. I lived in the city for 30 years.
What’s in the lease? That’s what matters.
Those roommates need to be chastised, severely!
Nothing nice about searching through ANYBODY”S stuff.
Sue the roommates and the landlord. Then move as far away from that rotten state as you can.
Yes, I know this and so does everyone else who owns a gun in this state.
Curious why the landlord thinks she’d be responsible for all the rent, given presumably everyone signed the lease.
Same in Illinois, for any firearm and also need a permit (we call them Firearm Owner ID cards) to buy ammo too.
Freaking ridiculous.
In another time the landlord would have forced the two girls to move out for pilfering through their roommates belongings.
Her roommates burglarized her apartment sad searched for her guns.
For a time I kept my Marlin lever action 30-30 under my bunk at Yale.
I miss that rifle. I miss those days!
Yeah, but the way they found out was other tenants illegally entered her apartment and search through all her possessions. You okay with that?
There are no federal constitutional violations because there is no state action, meaning no action by a government agency or actor. Unless there is some other available remedy in state law, the best option would be to sue for breach of the lease contract. Of course, there may be provisions in the lease that permit termination due to the reaction of the roommates, and the landowner could decline to renew her lease. Alternatively, the gun owner might arrange to settle the controversy by storing her firearm off the premises.
Now that Harvard knows, will they hassle her too?
Your police are infringing on a right given to you by the Constitution.

Not quite right.
The Constitution is recognizing inalienable rights possessed prior to the Constitution, given by God to all free men.
