I have been a gun owner all my life & fully embrace the constitutional rights for all; but if I owned an apartment complex, I too would send a letter prohibiting firearm possession on the property. Though not legally valid, it would document my effort to maintain a safe and secure facility for the tenants. (You have to admit that idiots also own guns) I would then offer a discounted apartment to a leo with the understanding that he provide a security presence. In today's litigious world it is prudent to practice defensive law.
P.S. Also, some tenant who is an idiot driver going 35 m.p.h will most likely run someone over in your hypothetical apartment complex parking lot, so you'll probably get sued for not enforcing the 5 m.p.h. speed limit signs you had put up. So you'd better add a "No Cars Allowed" stipulation to your lease.

Re: Can A Landlord Do This?
I wouldnt be surprised if the apartment owner/management are gun owners themselves.
I have been a gun owner all my life & fully embrace the constitutional rights for all; but if I owned an apartment complex, I too would send a letter prohibiting firearm possession on the property.

Case in Point:
The bullet went through the wall and struck the victim in the groin as he lay in bed. It then grazed/furrowed the torso before striking the ribs near the heart. The bullet didnt penetrate the victim very deep & I dont remember if the bullet penetrated the heart or the ribs impacted it shocking it.
I have a little more info than what the media is reporting on this case, but cant share it. I am outraged that the shooter will probably get by with little consequence for his actions. Is it possible that the victim would have survived if the shooter had reported the incident immediately?
You can bet that there will be a civil lawsuit as a result of this shooting incident.
