Goodness. Okay. Carrying as in Carrying on your person in a holster or for self defense vs transporting to and from your car. Carry as in an open carry permit.

Is that better?
Could you tell the difference if you stop someone on the street what was their intent while carrying?
Yeah guns laws in Mexico really stop the cartels from having guns.
What's the trouble?
Why would this be unconstitutional?
The 2nd amendment says, after all:
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed except for those carrying openly within public housing."
Actually, cased and unloaded with ammunition seperate from the firearm (as in seperate container altogether) is usually included in the definition of "transport". Compare that to loaded, holstered, and clearly visible.
This has come up before and IIRC, a federal judge ruled that those living in government low income housing do have the RKBA in their homes and if qualified under the state law, with a CCW permit. This specific ruling clearly addresses "open carry".
Frightened sheeple who get excited = public disturbance.
Don't see why the OP has an issue with this honestly.
You do realize that the housing authority only covers people who live in public housing (basically property owned by the federal government). Most of these people are either very low income or seniors, which is what the article spoke of - senior housing.
I work in senior housing and live in a city that has very liberal gun laws, meaning we can open carry practically anywhere. As someone who works in senior public housing, I can tell you , like what was mentioned in the article, that many of our residents have a screw loose or have deteriorating mental capacities either due to age or illness or medications that they take. We have residents who have weapons and one threatened to kill his "girlfriend" and weilded his gun last year. He was not kicked out due to fear that he may bring a lawsuit but this case could at least give the housing authority some strength in dealing with residents like the latter. And FWIW, most of our residents are nice older people or people with disabilities but the ones with mental illnesses, dementia (who aren't even supposed to be qualified to live in public housing but it is hell getting people out when they start to deteriorate due to continued legal cases), and side effects from medications that cause their mental health to decline cause a lot of ruckus - including physical fights and threatening behavior. I am glad most of our residents don't have a CCP (they have to declare this to us if they do) and I am glad the court sided with the housing authority so that authorities will now be able to get rid of residents who brand weapons in common areas.

well the gun being loaded or unloaded typicly gives a pretty good idea.
