The reason I bring it up, is the fact that it's real convenient to open carry on those hot summer nights, and I'm just trying to figure out if its going to ever get me introuble if the sheriff comes tooling down the road at night ( never seen a patrol car at night in 3 years ). This whole thought process started when someone in the HOA complained about all the kids blazin down the roads in their quads, go-cart ect. The HOA tried to go to the sheriff and were told the roads were all privately owned by the HOA, which meant they had no jurisdiction. They told the HOA they had to amend the bylaws to make it illegal. So thats when I read the bylaws and found nothing about carrying guns,

Here's the scenario : I own a home in a rural HOA that encompases about 1,000 acres. We own ( the HOA ) and maintain about 8 miles of caliche roads, the roads are owned by the HOA and are not parolled by the Sheriff as they are private property. There are no references in the HOA to carrying. My question is, would I be in violation if I get caught open carrying. I walk for about a hour every morning, on the HOA rds and always carry. In the summer when its hot and humid I just open carry, and when I hear a car, duck off in the woods, or untuck my t-shirt and kinda cover up the best I can. I never walk during daylight ( work does not allow for it ), and in 3 years have never encountered another person on foot. The way I look at it is, the HOA roads are all private property. Opinions? Note : I do not go out of my way to open carry, during cooler months I always wear a vest, and there is no problem, it's the summer that makes it most difficult.
