Hello, thanks for listening. I have been living in my fathers home in Philadelphia,PA.since 1999 when my mother passed away.I have since remarried my wife in 2004.I have taken my son in after he was put out of his former girlfriend's family home in north Carolina back in March 2010. I felt sorry for him and his mother was hysterical. When he came in I asked a few things from him 1. Help pay some bills. 2. Not to smoke his cigarettes in the house. He complied for a while, found a job and was subsequently laid off from a job in February.Since then he has not gotten another job and has started to smoke in the room that used to be the room I slept in with his mother he now shares that room with his Grandma(my mother in law she is 78 years young and is breathing in his 2nd hand smoke as are we.I have asked him to stop repeatedly now he just says he'll do what he feels like.So I told him he had to leave he said he'd leave when he felt like it.I said I would give him 30 days his unemployement checks are about
To end and I don't know if anyone will rent him an apartment with no job.The thing is he has be completely belligerent.He also has 2 firearms in the room also I threatened to call the police and he said you do that and there'll be a blood bath.His mother suffers from MS among other maladies and is against me putting him out Im not getting any support from her so he just does what he wants. Im trying not get physical as one of us can end up seriously hurt or even dead.He's running up my heating bill by keeping the window open with a fan on to blow the smoke out.How can I get rid of him once and for all.

Depending on who exactly is the owner of the home, who has to be the one to do this:
You give him a notice to vacate in writing. Hand him one with a witness present, and mail him one certified mail. Then go to your court house and file eviction papers. You call the police if he gets violent, and get a restraining order at the same time. If the guns are not legal, have the police come to the house to get them.

I am 53 my son is 30.

You dad can give you a limited power of attorney, or even just send you something in writing to be his representative regarding the house and property.
I believe that the guns need to be registered in PA. I would call the non-emergency police line and ask about that, or even go in and talk to one officer about the possible confrontation regarding eviction. Of course they will say that they can't act based on your son's threats until he does something, but it doesn't hurt to have someone know about it. Small town vs big city is a factor in all that.

Thank you so very much.

Do you know if his guns are licensed? If they are not, call the police tell them he has two guns and has threatened you with them. After the police arrest him, get a restraining order to keep him away.
