CCLTOA HOA meeting - agenda item on guns a non-issue

At the 3-20-14 CCLTOA HOA board meeting a line item titled "Guns Issue on Association Common Areas Property" was quickly put to rest by the Board.


"This was blown way out of proportion," said board member Julie Betz, remarking that it had gone too far. Many of the Board members were in agreement.

According to Rob Adamson, each issue brought to the Board is looked into, this issue was discussed at the study session earlier this week and the board "concluded that no additional action is needed and none will be taken at this point."

President, Doug Rockey supported that decision and pointed to the fact that the lake was a "hunting and fishing lake" whereby it was legal for those legally carrying guns to possess them on the lake and therefore property owners within the HOA had a right to access and egress with their boats through the Kiva docks carrying said licensed firearms. Furthermore he pointed to the legalities of CCW permits allowing those who are permitted to carry concealed on common areas.



When asked if, in the future, this subject may be revisited if another homeowner came forward with a request or question regarding this subject, the board agreed it would not be revisited.

A local homeowner recited the penal code to the board which allows CCW permit holders to carry on common areas, etc, for Board information in case the issue comes before them again.
