Tells you a lot about the gun fetishist mindset.
However, you're perfectly fine with putting people at risk based on your feelings and beliefs. Hypocritical much? That's rhetorical.

In many states a landlord CAN refuse to rent to homosexuals, they can also evict them for no other reason than they are homosexual.

Post fail.

Gleefully you say? It's absolute stupidity to not allow their residents to defend themselves if the need arises! The landlord not allowing people to practice their 2nd Amendment right is a welcome matt for increased criminal activity! Unless of course you think that those with alterior motives are actually going to follow the rules when they rob the place?

I'm proud of my position. But anyone wishing harm on innocent people is sick.

What kind of backwards thinking is that? No law abiding gun owner wishes harm on anyone!!! I certainly don't want to harm someone if it can be helped! I won't be a victim though from some would be perp who would wish to harm myself or my family.

What? That's one I've never heard. Wouldn't housing discrimination laws make them a protected class and make that illegal?

Why would you invite criminals to do so, as everyone here is proposing? At least level the playing field with other citizens who don't have weapons but don't have gun slobberers threatening to put up signs and advertise addresses.

Why do you wish to invite harm to people who have never hurt you, just to make a point? I don't care whether you think it's stupid or not, the idea of making your point by publicizing this to criminals is just about as sick as anything I've ever heard a gun nut say on this forum.

While I also believe in the owner of the apartment building imposing his or her own 'rules', banning guns seems beyond the pale (especially for current residents). I wonder if an insurance company is the underlying culprit?

I assume the apartment building owner carries some type of liability insurance. Perhaps the insurance carrier is asking for the gun ban. I can imagine a case where a resident of the apartment building injures or kills another resident, with the injured resident, or survivors, suing the apartment owner for negligence in allowing residents to possess guns. I believe that many apartment buildings forbid fireworks to be brought inside the building, on the same general principle.

This reminds me of years ago: I was a helper to a friend who worked for an apartment building, in maintenance. A fire broke out in an apartment. Turns out that the people living in said apartment had just immigrated from India. They did not know how to work a stove, so they built a campfire on the carpeted floor of the living room, thoughtfully knocking out a window pane to serve as a make-shift chimney. I believe the dish they were cooking was ruined, as was one-third of the apartment building.

It was soon thereafter that I moved out of my own apartment building into a house, and I have felt safer ever since.

I don't see this as any different than restrictions regarding certain breeds of dogs, etc.
Same idea.

21 states have laws that prohibit discrimination in housing based on sexual orientation. Some cities have passed anti discrimination laws that include sexual orientation too.
The majority of states do not include sexual orientation in their anti discrimination laws.
