No, it is a Texas PWD lake and state park. A list of Texas COE lakes is posted earlier in this thread.

FYI, the Park Service exemption has been temporarily (hopefully) reversed by a Judge pending an environmental review and you can't carry there now.

Not sure the status of the review.

I am unaware of any cases. There could be some out there, but since it may only be written and fined, finding case history will be tough and I haven't been able to find anything.

I will not put myself in a position to be a test case though.

OK folks, rule 4 says: No posting of messages promoting illegal conduct.

The forum will not condone violations of the law. While people will do what they want, and I am guilty of breaking laws myself, we should abide by them. Event though we may not like all of the laws, it is the responsibility of every person to be a good citizen and obey them. That includes adhering to 30.06 & 51% signs, and all other statutes and laws that are in place concerning anything discussed here.

Many of the Texas lakes, perhaps most, are not COE lakes but are owned by local water outfits; e.g., [(LCRA), (SRA), Lake Athens, Lake Jacksonville, Amistad, Falcon, etc.] or local municipalities.

Rayburn, Lake O the Pines, Toledo Bend, etc. are COE Lakes. The COE lakes can be identified and confirmed on the COE websites.

I might be going fishing this weekend and was wondering if i can legally carry my gun with me. without chl: can it be on my person in a holster? or does it need to be concealed withen the boat?

BTW this will be on one of the local lakes.

Without a CHL, outside of your home, car or place of business you control you are NOT allowed to carry legally. And, as stated before, if it is a Corp of Engineers lake, then you can't carry even with a CHL.
