I have never seen such a thing in a lease and would ignore it if it were. A landlord has no right to dictate how you choose to defend your property. Even if you were to be caught you would not be breaking the law but a contract and the worst recourse would be eviction. Although that may not be grounds for an eviction you would have to talk to a lawyer.
Its really no different the carrying your cw into a store that has a policy against weapons on the premises. They have the right to ask you to leave but by initially ignoring the policy you have not broken any laws. In iowa anyway other states may vary.
