We're looking into moving to St. Louis, MO for graduate school next fall. As I was reading through the housing brochure I noticed that the school owns some apartments about 12 miles from campus for married couples with kids that they rent out to students for cheap. I'm thinking- Cool! Then, as I'm reading through their housing manual, I notice that it says this:
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
My understanding (assumption?) has always been that a "landlord" cannot prevent a resident from owning and storing a firearm on the leased property, as this is considered the resident's home. Am I incorrect in my understanding? Does this somehow change when the landlord is a college or university? I understand that college campuses can prevent students from having guns in an on campus dorm (don't agree with it, I just know it is true), but we are talking about an apartment complex 12 miles from campus. Can they legally do that? I am a gun owner, ccw permit holder, and a bow hunter, so this rule is aimed right at me. By the way, this is a very politically conservative Christian private institution.
No explosives, flammables, guns, bows and arrows, or other deadly weapons are permitted in [name of institution] housing or on any part of the campus, including automobiles, at any time.
