Thread: Rifle safe/rack and renting a flat

My last landlord (a lady) freaked out when I told her I was a firearms owner, and wanted to put a safe in. Her husband calmed her down, and it became okay. After we'd been there over a year, she asked me one day if I'd mind shooting the possum that kept waking her up, so I did that and it was then very okay. She and her husband both said they were glad I'd been straight up about it, and so was I when the contractors came and did the underfloor insulation - they never saw a thing that looked like a firearm of any kind. My current landlord wanted to have a look at mine, then wanted to show me his. But he's a farmer and has a different view of the world than the townies. I can even set up a target over the other side of the gully and shoot from the deck. Just not when there's stock around. Naturally. Some landlords are easy to get on with, as long as you respect the fact that while it's it's your home, it's their house.
