I noticed the anti gun rules in the contracts of several apartments when a relative was relocating from the Dallas area. My comments to him were 'don't ask. don't tell' and 'if properly concealed, no one should be aware it's there'.Concealed means concealed. You'd be surprised at the places you can carry if no one knows.
Years back, c. 1978, Houston, i watched a friend & INS Judge get caught on an apartment complex’ poolside tanning lounge, under a drug-dealer gun battle.
The dealer-victim came out and pointed a large revolver, concealed under a towel, at friend. I was across & above, in my unit, with 7mm Rem Mag, round chambered & safety off. Crosshairs on dealer’s chest.
Scared me. Even the memory scares me, today. . . . .
Based on what you posted you should be well within your legal rights to carry while at your pool. However I'd add if its concealed properly it doesn't matter what they say since they wont know.
Yes.States "where allowed by law"
Unless I'm wrong I can pack poolside?
Yeah, action beats reaction...Kudos to your restraint.
I’d have had a hard time not pulling the trigger when I was hunting over bait like that.

I wonder if this is old verbiage from a long time ago.
Also, don't forget Property Code §92.026:
Unless possession of a firearm or firearm ammunition on a landlord’s property is prohibited by state or federal law, a landlord may not prohibit a tenant or a tenant’s guest from lawfully possessing, carrying, transporting, or storing a firearm, any part of a firearm, or firearm ammunition:
(1) in the tenant’s rental unit;
(2) in a vehicle located in a parking area provided for tenants or guests by the landlord of the leased premises; or
(3) in other locations controlled by the landlord as necessary to:
(A) enter or exit the tenant’s rental unit;
(B) enter or exit the leased premises; or
(C) enter or exit a vehicle on the leased premises or located in a parking area provided by the landlord for tenants or guests.
The landlord may prohibit weapons in common areas (by the pool) but they would need to use prescribed signage.
So unless you see an 06 sign by the pool (or an 05 sign without a valid LTC), you may lawfully have a handgun poolside.
If there are signs and you choose to carry, remember that getting caught past an 06 sign is a class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine no to exceed $200.
It would be nice to have another thread on the same subject except condos. I wonder how things change when I'm not renting but I have an ownership interest in everything, even the common areas. Or maybe someone familiar with the law could comment here.
Seriously, I wonder what the law says about me defending my home against a bunch of rioters who break in to my entryway and try to set the place on fire. I wonder how the fact that my entryway is on the 1st floor and I sleep on the 20th floor impacts my right to defend my home.
<>Yeah, action beats reaction...
Waiting until the drug dealer shoots your friend before shooting the drug dealer is a no-go for me. Drug dealer points gun at someone innocent, their life is forfeit.
I dont know if I could face my friend after not shooting someone who was pointing a gun at them
