A prosepect asked if firearm is allowed. I don't know the answer. --96.250.xxx.xx

I have had cops and a FBI agent so it was a yes. For non law enforcement I would probably require an excellent gun safe. --99.23.xxx.x

Of course a firearm is allowed.Would you try to restrict any of there other constitutional rights? --74.77.xx.xx

I’ve had reserves, navy, police so I know some have had firearms. One in the reserves was a roommate situation and asked for a locking bedroom door with a different key. --75.67.xxx.xxx

No issue here. In fact I find gun owners are more self sufficient of course I live in liberal state that has highest # of guns owned per capita in country....yes not logical but factual non the less. --174.242.xx.xxx

Oh, I will tell them yes. --96.250.xxx.xx

Can they give you a copy of FBI background check? It will have the old address and a good photo. --76.190.xxx.xxx

Kurtis I moved to Northern Maine (Millinocket) back in the day from Massachusetts outside of Boston (near Concord.) You can imagine my shock at the difference in (all kinds of) attitudes between two states so close to each other! --50.82.xxx.xxx

I just told him no one asked for permission. We never asked the question or check firearm. --96.250.xxx.xx

My point is Always be careful! --68.229.xxx.xxx

Is he a convicted felon or illegal alien? Had a tenant busted a year or so ago with firearms and drugs - illegal for a convicted felon to possess firearms. --72.220.xxx.xxx

I would never prohibit a weapon for self defense and defense of home. There is already a legal basis for suing a LL over a criminal act if the LL had some failure in securing/lighting the place which allowed the criminal in. It would be even worse if the tenant was a victim and could also state that I had disarmed him or her and therefore made their situation even more precarious. --73.141.xxx.xxx

Blue state imports are driving up all the property values. --69.80.xx.xxx

Being a CC kinda guy, I would consider that question as an opportunity for show and tell --24.101.xxx.xxx

A good install of a gun safe will cause some damage..lag bolts into the wall and floor, possibly removing some baseboard. Both of mine are properly installed. If they asked, they are probably responsible gun owners. Crooks, drug dealers etc would never have asked. --76.138.xxx.xxx

If they had the proper paperwork, no need to involve me. I would only have to be involved if something bad went down. I m however seeing more businesses signage posting bo firearms or weapons on the premises. No really sure how they would know 75% of the time.. --73.230.xxx.xx

That is one strange question. As the LL is it really your business? --108.239.xx.xx

Guess it depends on what your definition of what hardware store is. Both are equally important if you are landlord. Both absolutely require know how and some level with being good with your hands. --24.101.xxx.xxx

"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet" --107.147.xx.xxx

I do screen carefully to keep criminals and dope dealers out and those are the only ones I'd worry about them having guns. Even the children here have their own guns (hunting rifles) --76.178.xxx.xxx

But that's just the ones they know about, of course. --50.82.xxx.xxx

I allow smoking in my places simply because there are so many smokers. Although I am in process of putting oil based kilz on the ceilings, walls, trim and doors of the current empty because of the nicotine stains. It does make me want to reconsider at times. --107.147.xx.xxx

Kilz 3 works on ceiling with only 25% of the smell. --108.239.xx.xx

Thanks for the tip! --107.147.xx.xxx

I give my prospective tenants test on Cats, Dogs, Cars, Guns and Tools. If they fail the test, I won't rent to them. --47.147.xxx.xxx
