18. It is difficult inside of a home.

IIRC it was tried in a location or two (Nashville TN rings a bell), but was dropped before it made it to court. Since there is no case law, it's difficult to say.

I believe that there was another case where an HOA came up with a rule against the buying or selling of firearms anywhere on their property when they found that one homeowner was running his website from within his home. I'm unsure if there were any physical firearms on the property or if it was simply a case of the website being run from within.

Most of the homeowner's agreements deal primarily with the outside and structure of the home/condo. My own has rules against operating a business from within the property (which I don't wholly agree with, however I was out of town during that vote). But the agreement cannot invalidate state/federal property rights.
