I am not aware of any state laws that prohibit weapons in private residential complexes. That said, I find it highly unlikely given that the 2nd Amendment is a federal constitutional right - subject obvious regulation. There are defenses to having/using a gun but the defenses are very...

This is a legitimate business and they stole all of my money... Read more »
