Yes, you can ban a firearm in your business, or your home, that's your right, but an HOA cannot ban firearms in an owners home, period, and if some HOA tried that, they'd be sued so quickly by the GOA, NRA, SAF, it would make their head spin, and the HOA would lose in court.

Why do you think no HOA has tried that yet? Probably because they're lawyers told them it's illegal to do so and they would lose in court.
