no gun on apartment lease?

i suspect that you are over thinking the whole situation. Kahr sells other items besides firearms. Your landlord/property management company have no idea what is in the package and they don't have any right to know what you ordered. For all they know, you ordered a baseball cap for your cousin as a present for his birthday. They may own the property, but your personal belongings are yours and even though you are leasing living space on their property, you didn't sign away your rights to your privacy surrounding your personal items. They are not entitled to search your personal property. I believe that would require a search warrant and probable cause to justify a warrant. They may be allowed to enter your apartment while you are not home, but they can't rifle through your stuff and even if they did, I would expect the firearm would be with you if you have a CCW and not left alone in your apartment. That said, keep it concealed and what ever mail that you receive is your business. I would just order the spring and holster and have it shipped to where you live. If they ask you what's in the Kahr box, I would say, "none of your business, but if you must know it's a holster for my cousin's birthday present." I doubt they will ever have the stones to even ask you.

Outstanding advice ORSalesrep, right on the money on all counts. Mail is personal property. Leave that gun in a shoe box with the lid on and they find it, they have been routing thru your stuff. Not good for them me thinks.
Even gun parts wouldn't make any difference. They can't look at your mail and I doubt they would want to. I think this is probably right up there with no dogs or cats. In fact they'd probably enforce that more strenuously than no guns.

Thank Bawanna! Every once in a while I can still get some wood on the ball :-)

Just an FYI in case it should go badly at some point. A local I know moved into an apartment after signing such a lease. He later had an accidental discharge, so there was no hiding he had a gun. He was evicted within 24 hours, his deposit kept, and his credit score tagged for the eviction. Yes, they can put that on your credit as a default. Obviously I completely disagree with such lease terms. I just want to make sure you know all the risks to you as I would hate to see that happen. Personally I would advise moving at your earliest convenience.

Lesson learned: don't be an idiot and have a NEGLIGENT discharge in your own home.
