It's not thetresspass law. The AG is saying if it is the lease or rental agreement the landlord can forbid the possesion of firearm.

I would think trespassing would apply. If I lease a store front at opry mills and they tell me I can't have a gun, but also tell me I can be there w/o what is the difference between that and giving the same warning to someone off the street?
If it is in the lease and can be enforcedit would limit where police and other LEO types can live.

That depends on what state your talking about. In most states this doesn't apply to residential rentals/leases. Residential landlords can not bar residents from owning or having within their rented units firearms.
HUD may be an exception though.
Only if your landlord is the government.Heller makes it illegal for landlord to prohibit one from possessing a firearm in their home just cause you rent doesnt make it not your home
Only if your landlord is the government.
Heller doesn't address private contracts such as leases. It only addresses what the government may or may not restrict.
Correct.
This is simple contract law. If you don't like the terms of the lease, don't sign it and look elsewhere to rent.
