I would agree with you if it were not for the insurance problems. I've got 46 tenants in the building, and I'm confident that there are plenty of the 400+ among the staff who are both licensed and carrying. The problem we face is liability insurance. Whereas the carriers cannot force us to place a 30.06 sign in the window and inforce it, they can (1) charge more for our liability or (2) refuse coverage in the absence of such a clause in the lease.Keith B wrote:A lease is a private contract and binding between two parties. Even with verbal approval, I would ask that it be stricken from the lease before signing it myself. That way there is no question if something happens and the lessor decides to terminate the lease on you because of the violation.
Should someone refuse to sign due to the clause, I've got a waiting list and would understand.
I have to remind them that the law requires posting of the 30.06 signage (or ribbons around the tress, etc., etc.). When they ask what would happen if they were to carry and find themselves in a situation where the weapon had to be drawn, I put on my best evil smile and reply, "I'll probably slap your hand (while shaking it) and say something silly like, 'Don't you let me ever catch you doing that again.'"
