You have to go to your local courthouse and take the tenant to court. Tell them you want to evict a tenant. This will sadly take a long time (in NY, 6 months) and may include lots of costs if you hire a lawyer, which is recommended. Download a 3-day to vacate notice and give it to the tenant. This may scare them and maybe they'll move out. Otherwise, get them served and send them an official notice by the deputies in your community in person telling the tenant that you want to evict them and request that they evacuate the property immediately. Don't do anything illegal like locking them out or throwing out their possessions. This can get you sued. Look up local laws. This can be provided at the library. Check to see your rights as a landowner and standard procedure for eviction in your area.

Can a landlord evict one tenant not the other?

He could, but it depends on the wording of the lease. Normally there is only one tenant on a lease: the rest of the legal occupants are considered part of the household. A landlord can kick out the one tenant and create a new lease for another occupant, making him the tenant.

Can a landlord restrict his tenant from keeping a firearm in his rented premisies?

Depends on the law where you are, but in general, no. A tenant is permitted the "quiet enjoyment" of the property- meaning that they have the right to do lawful things on the property that do not damage it. If possession of a firearm is legal, the owner of the property would have no legal right to restrict the tenant from doing a legal thing.

Can you return a security deposit and not accept the tenant even if you have accepted some rent?

Once you, the landlord, have accepted a tenant by handing him the keys, then the tenant has legal possession of the property. If the lease was mutually signed and the keys were handed to the tenant, then you must wait until the lease expires and give at least 30 days notice that you will not renew the lease before asking the tenant to leave. Landlord and tenant laws are designed to protect both the landlord and the tenant. If the tenant does not violate the terms of the lease once it has been mutually signed and the property turned over to the tenant, then he has the legal right - as long as he pays his rent on time - to remain on the property. If he violates the terms of the lease at any time, you can seek legal remedy to correct the violations or to remove the tenant.
