Sad situation…but I stand for her right to do it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender. I wish everyone the world over had the dominating spirit that motivates Texans.– Billy Clayton, Speaker of the Texas House No state commands such fierce pride and loyalty. Lesser mortals are pitied for their misfortune in not being born in Texas.— Queen Elizabeth II on her visit to Texas in May, 1991. | |||

I actually do not think it is sad. The only sad part I have is the mental anguish that must come to her having taken a human life; even one so wasted. I also cannot ignore that this looks like a poor community with public housing. I am going to assume her home was publicly subsidized, and the issue of the landlord being able to disarm her (evict her for legal possession) needs to be addressed by Legislation or the Courts. But Wallace received the news that she is now being evicted for being in possession of a gun. 'The apartments called and told me that I was not supposed to have a gun at all, even though I kept calling them and telling them somebody was breaking in,' she said. 'They told me I could not have a gun, and I have 30 days to vacate. I feel like I'm back at square one. I was there for six years, and now I don't know what to do.' No if her landlord is totally private, her rent not subsidized, then I agree that the landlord should have the right as the private property owner to do evict if it is a term of the lease in writing only. The fact I philosophically disagree does not outweigh the right of the private landlord/property owner and adult tenant to so contract. I just re-read the article. This is subsidized housing. Thus, the landlord accepting Government rent payments is a government actor. The courts or Federal Legislation needs to address this infringement. You take the government money, you lose the right to have people contact away their Fundamental Right to maintain handguns, and other guns in common use, for self protection through contract whether expressed or implied. I threw implied in their bc I do not know if the lease had an express term. If it does not, implied is not going to work. Some in Texas needs to rep her in this eviction. This is set up to become a Federal Case, and make good law. I said term, it is probably a condition. Term and Condition in contract law do have a distinction. That is not relevant for this conversation. | |||
