Yes, my point is that the restriction is already covered in the law. If the HOA deems it appropriate to control such things, they can petition and hold a public vote to create a municipality and then control things to their hearts content. As it is, basically everyone hates HOAs and would vote against incorporation, ergo they should have no power to act like a municipality...

Not to mention that they are inherently undemocratic as they are typically formed when there are very few residents in the subdivision, and are hard to change after creation...

I know of ordinance not allowing discharging firearm (unjustifed) in the city limit. But, that can be under deadly conduct, or disorderly conduct.
Not to mention it is already covered in law:

No reason to give HOA's more authority and the ability to upsurp the county...

Strips any power HOAs have to regulate the possession, transport, or storage of firearms, firearms parts and ammunition or the lawful discharge of a firearm.
I like it!
