Since the fees paid by the homeowners are used to maintain (& pay taxes on?) the common areas of the mini-town, everyone in the association is an owner of the common areas, so cannot be restricted from the peaceful exercise of any civil right on any land they own (or partially own).gogodawgs said:Can you be trespassed from your own property?
It's private property, owned by the same people some of the other owners want to prohibit.
To some degree, yes, though it's usually done through other laws.deanf said:is it your contention that the Bill of Rights regulates private parties?
Someone else gave the example of the HOA (or for that matter, a grocery store) trying to tell people of a certain religious or ethnic group that, even though they pay their fees & own their home, they're not allowed to use the commonly-owned areas their fees maintain.
See how fast the gov't, or even a private civil rights lawyer, would get involved in that!
I haven't searched the WA statutes, but here in WI there's a law prohibiting employers from discriminating based on an employee's use or nonuse of lawful products off company time & property. I believe it was promoted & passed by the tobacco lobby, but doesn't say that... so it applies to ANY lawful product: firearms, alcohol, motorcycles, condoms.
As gogo said: your pistol is not illegal.jsanchez said:Illegal drugs, firearms, and fireworks are prohibited.
And as difdi said: The other way to read it would result in legal absurdities.
