You might as well just quit college now and get a job flipping burgers. This is where you are headed by 1) ignoring all the advice on here and 2) risking a drug conviction which won't allow you to get a decent job. Sorry to say but it sounds like you need some tough love. I was going to email you with the offer of a loan to get out of this situation but you haven't shown to care enough.MAGAManofATX wrote:Hey everybody! Thanks for your great discussion and advice. I've decided that I will not be taking my firearm to my apartment at this time, and likely not for the rest of the semester. I'm going to wait until my permit is officially approved and I have it in my hands. This semester I will attempt to enforce a "keep your stuff in your room" policy, and I'll reassess the situation then. I've talked to my roommates, and one of them is explicitly clear that he will continue to smoke. He said "lol I'll buy you some pepper spray dude. Weed > guns, especially in our apartment."
Upon further inspection of my lease, they can actually force eviction if they find any sort of weapons in your apartment or on the property. So I need to decide what I want to do about that as well. Some posters were correct in that this was a "random matching" situation. I didn't know any of my roommates prior to moving in with them. I would not willingly live with drug users!
Moving is not an option at this time because I'm a full time student, and classes start Tuesday. I can't break my lease (7K dollars of rent), find a new place, move, while maintaining a good performance in school. It's better to leave it at home.
I understand that I'm coming off pretty paranoid. But I'm new to this, and I don't have the experience that many of you have. I want to do everything in the proper manner.
Better safe than sorry! Even if "safe" in this context is living without my firearm for a bit. It is a short time in the long run of being a responsible LTC holder.
Does your lease talk about drug use?
