Self Correcting?

Tradition, Florida, has banned firearms from all the common areas.

Because it's, technically, private property, they can do that.

They're not a city, they're a planned community and their little ban is just an HOA rule.  If they were an incorporated entity, they would be forbidden to make that rule. 

However, he local popo has, publicly, stated that they don't enforce HOA rules, just state law.  This leaves them without a ready means to stop people from carrying in the common areas.

So, who's going to bell the cat?

A person who is against guns is going to tell someone with a gun to stop?

I think my reply would be along the lines of, "make me," because other people with guns aren't coming to stop me.

Living in the Wild West™ of unincorporated county has its drawbacks sometimes, but at least we don't have an HOA.

HOA's are run by the people who don't have anything else to do but run the HOA.  It's their life.  They are also the most busybody Karens you can imagine.  The only counter is to dedicate your life to the HOA, get elected and do nothing but run the HOA...

Normal people don't like that or seek it, so the Karens always end up in charge.

But bullshit like this almost always leads to the normal people staging a coup and reversing the stupid rule that pissed them off and normality is restored until Karen returns to power.
