Retired Marine takes issue with it.

Castle Rock apartment tenants told they must get rid of their guns

His apartment complex, the Oakwood Apartments in Castle Rock, sent out a notice telling all residents to get rid of their guns.

The 77-year-old retired US Marine Corps veteran sent a newstip to 9Wants to Know saying he's afraid he'll be homeless if he doesn't comply.

The letter went out to residents on August 1 and says they have until October 1 to comply with updated "community policies."

On page 2 is a brand new provision saying "firearms and weapons are prohibited."

Normally, I'd say that private property owner gets to make whatever rules they want. In this case the management company is taking state and federal tax dollars to house senior citizens. You take the governments money then you get to dance to the King's tune.

Agree - if the government subsidizes you, the same restrictions on government apply to you as you are acting as a government agent.

Even then it would depend upon the rental contract.
