Seeing how supportive everyone was on getting the local ordinance against possession of a firearm in a city park in Ashland, I am hoping to get some advice on a ban on weapons in an apartment building. I am 18, and enjoy my Open Carry rights as much as the next guy (just in case those of you who are going to say it's 21 to carry, the age for OC in KY is 18 without permit). I have carried my handgun almost ALWAYS, after being attacked and threatened with a weapon. This includes my father's apartment residence, the Henry Clay House. Apparently, the residents of the building got spooked and told the manager. She proceeded to inform my father that I was no longer allowed to carry my handgun on the property, and posted a large sign that reads "WEAPONS PROHIBITED ON PREMISES". Ladies and gentlemen, we're not just talking banning carry, we're talking about ANY weapons are not allowed. Period. She says she will call the police if someone violates the sign. The way I understand, a rental agreement is a binding contract that makes the apartment the official residence of the renter. And considering that nobody, not even the government can prohibit you from owning a firearm in your residence (unless you're a felon), what gives this manager the right to ban firearms in apartments? I have heard also that there are specific state statutes AGAINST banning firearms in apartments, but I do not know if this applies to Kentucky. Any research or advice, especially cited law codes, would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
