On the other hand, I’d be moving out anyway if my roommates were going through my stuff and ratting me out to anyone.
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!
Handguns. Plural.
My kind of woman! ;^)
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.
There are four types of invasion of privacy claims recognized in Massachusetts: (1) intrusion of a person’s physical solitude or seclusion;...
In the Commonwealth, this right is controlled by a statute which states that “a person shall have a right against unreasonable, substantial or serious interference with his privacy. The superior court shall have jurisdiction in equity to enforce such right and in connection therewith to award damages.”
The first claim, intrusion of a person’s physical solitude or seclusion, must have the following elements: an intentional intrusion; upon the seclusion, solitude or private affairs of another; which would be highly offensive to a reasonable person. Specifically, interference with the plaintiff’s seclusion or intrusion into “must be substantial and of a kind that would be highly offensive and objectionable to the ordinary reasonable man.”
My daughter rents a house with two other girls. One of them found out my daughter owns a pistol and went all snowflakey.
She said that she would buy my daughter a lockbox since the very presence of the gun made her feel unsafe.
My daughter told her roommate she would use the box provided she be able to give the roommate a short handgun orientation and safety session.
Her roommate bought the box but it sits unopened since she never kept up the other side of the bargain.
The landlord should also inform police that they must leave their guns in their cars when investigating anything at this location, so as not to frighten the snowflakes.
Actually, I’m with the roommates. They may have no legal standing, but if they made a verbal deal to not have guns, the other roommate should abide. I think I’d be happier living with semi-stranger girls if they were not armed.
Evidently the lease puts the landlord at a disadvantage...hope the gal sues and has the other tenants kicked out...then stays til the end of the lease just to piss the landlord off - after taking a chunk of her money.
Would they be more uncomfortable knowing roommates would search through someone else's belongings?
