Re: Weird "NO FIREARMS" sign at Bratonia Park, Princeton

To my knowledge, there are no specific signage requirements for COE land. For example, there are huge areas of COE land on the west side of Houston, both north and south of I-10, and in addition to streets large and small there are walking and biking trails that cross into and out of the COE land without signs demarcating the property.

Doubly confusing is that much of this land is also designated as Harris County parkland, specifically Bear Creek Park and George Bush Park. You would correctly think that LTC/CHL carry could not legally be prohibited in a municipal or county park, but in this case the land is owned by the ACOE, not the county.

American Shooting Center in George Bush Park even sits on COE land (with street names like "Shooting Center Drive" and "Sporting Clay Loop") which is legal if the ACOE specifically allows it. So, AFAIK, it isn't always easy to know when you cross onto COE property, and whether or not it's legal to have a firearm with you when you do.
