the inspector opened up the gun case and noticed it was an evil AR-15!

Could you please post the location? It sounds like you are referring to section 8 housing. Even if not entirely section 8, most complexes now have section 8 sections in order to get mucho government money. If that is the case they can evict you if they don't like your hat.
It is not section 8.
It is an apartment complex geared towards students, and young adults. I read the full contract and it does not ban guns and it does not allow the type of "safety and maintenance" inspection they did.
Notice to all renters:
In the interest of saving you from certain eviction, I will happily take any and all 'Assault' weapons off of your hands for the duration of your lease. I will not charge for this service. In addition, I will regularly fire you weapon to ensure actions, bolts, etc... do not lock up due to non-use*. Do it for yourself. Do it for your wussy neighbor. Do it for the children. Let me take possession of your black rifle.
Your welcome.
*Must supply sufficient amount of ammunition for the duration of lease.

No notice required by law. Indiana code only covers what a landlord may enter for without notice and without violating the "quite enjoyment" of the tenant. It does NOT preclude anything else being written into the lease. For example, a lease could state that the landlord will inspect the property once a month and may do so without notice to the tenant. If the lease is silent on inspections terms, then Indiana code outlines the bare minimum obligations/restrictions on tenant/landlord.I'm pretty sure they have to notify tenants before an inspection by law. The law may also specify what an "inspection" can cover.
Poking around in your underwear drawer, or opening a closed rifle case, are surely out of bounds.
