Can a HOA restrict legally carried firearms from common areas? IE a condo association with common area parks etc. Not a gated community.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

i would guess that they could, as they are private property.
is your home owners association considering it?

Legally, they probably can.
However, there's nothing to stop you from telling the story to a local news station.

Now isn't that a great question. I would say yes, as sickening as it is. I just found one more reason to stay in my old neighborhood, and leave all those subs with names like, The Staffordshire or Douche Bags Who Overpaid Place to the Libs.

it probably depends on if you are considered part owner of the common areas. if it is YOUR private property, then i don't think they can. you'd have to read your agreement.

ROFL!
I would check the ownership agreement as well to determine if the common areas are somehow "owned/rented" by the condo owner. With the advent of the SCOTUS Ruling in McDonald, the "fundamental right of self-defense" has now become, IMO, a civil right. Does this have the potential to affect rental/leasing/ownership agreements?

Common areas are paid for and maintained using money from your association fees. Therefore you have rights to the property.

I hope I never ever, ever, ever have to live in a HOA controlled area, or somewhere where there's all kinds of stupid ordinances (which are 100% of them). It would drive me absolutely NUTS!

yup, might just as well go live in a trailer park.

I don't live anywhere near a trailer park. But, since my township doesn't have zoning ordinances, I can cut my grass when I have time, and not when I'm told, and I can take my time to fix my cars the right way, instead of being time limited by the government.

Nothing, but apparently the only places that people can live fairly free from government or HOA's is in one, though that's never been the case for me

Trailer parks suck. Ive been stuck in one for about 10 years. Always somebody banging on something, slamming the neighborhood with their car stereos, somebody's always drunk or high, people fighting, stereotypes, prejudice, poverty, I could go on.

The one trailer park I did live in for a couple of year had more restrictive rules than I've ever had before. There was limits on cars, dogs, wood piles, clothes lines, "appearance" # of visitors @ a time... It sucked, so I moved.

All of the above and more. I hate where I live, and can do nothing about it. I dread coming home.

Sounds like my kind of place.......wait a minute........it is my place! I have a little shack up in the woods near Kenton. You close?
A friend of mine lives in davison and he tells me that he has just as much right of use to the property as anyone else according to his assoc. agreement. I would think that these would be standard in Michigan.

True, but associations often vote on "rules" within the sub. You can't put up a fence in certain subs until it's voted on which type will be allowed...and thats on your own, bought and paid for private property!! No pools, no sheds, no play places...all in your OWN backyard. Would't surprise me at all if the common areas had(or could be voted in) restrictive rules against firearms. I'm sure these people have inadvertently signed some rights they weren't aware of when Pulte or Lombardo got them to sign on the line that is dotted in these subs.
