Hey fellow OCers! I've been a lurker for a while (love your pamphlets!) but now I have a situation you might all be interested in.
I purchased a Beretta PX4 Storm .40 a couple months ago and gorgeous, cheap UTG leg-drop holster and now I OC everywhere I can (you should see the looks I get in Wal-Mart, especially being in North Las Vegas). I quickly got spun up on OC laws and even acted out a few scenarios with other OC'ing friends in the event we were ever approached by an LEO. Well, lo and behold, the only time I've yet to be approached was by the security guards at my apartment complex. I had just come home from an outing at Buffalo Wild Wings and swung by the mailbox to check my mail (I believe it was a Saturday night, could have been a Friday, who knows). As I'm coming out of the mailroom, the two security officers call me over to their car. They introduce themselves as Lee and Vinny. Lee is apparently Vinny's boss and Lee runs most of the apartment security in the area. I've seen both of them around before. Anyway, these two gentlemen are more than courteous (though Vinny seemed to be nervous whenever my hand was near my firearm, so I tried to keep my arms folded across my chest) and Lee even showed me a couple of the guns he had in his car. We chatted back and forth about OC laws, plans for CC, military life (I'm active duty), etc. Lee informs me that it is against apartment policy to OC on the property. We then talk about how that sounds like crap and that it isn't fair, yada yada. He assures me that this is in my lease. Eventually, we call it a night because I think Vinny had to get back to making his rounds, so I bid them a good evening and told them I looked forward to seeing them again and that if they ever needed me, I was in building such-and-such.
Well, I completely forget to look at my copy of the lease or talk to the apartment managers until this evening. I just spent 20 minutes carefully reading through all of the paperwork I've ever received from my apartment managers and not a paper mentions anything about guns, open-carrying, or even discharging of firearms. There's a whole page on illegal drug use and gang activity, but the word "firearm" fails to appear anywhere on the page. I have also never seen a "no firearms" sign on the apartment grounds. It would appear that I have been given false information. What do you all think? Have any of you ever heard of such a rule? I'm aware of private business displaying "no firearm" signs, though they're completely not legally bound by any NRS, but never an entire housing property. For anyone curious, I reside at Presidio Apartments, and the head company is Picerne.
Tomorrow morning, I plan on going out to the range with a bunch of friends and a fresh newbie for a few hours, then I'm going to return to the complex OC'ing and walk into the front office and ask them about it. So I guess I'll check-in tomorrow and let you all know how it went.
