I got this email about the 2nd Amendment from a Home Owner Association perspective. I am on a HOA [View all]

The Second Amendment right to bear arms has become a subject of hot debate in recent months. Two attorneys discuss the issues involved in a community association's commitment to residents' safety and the presence of legal firearms in the community.

Topics

What liability does the association have to owners with respect to restricting, or failing to restrict, carrying guns in common areas?
What are the Second Amendment protections regarding an individual’s right to bear arms in a community association?
How can associations protect residents against disgruntled owners who may commit violent acts with firearms?
