This is pretty long-range thinking, but figured I'd ask anyway. My husband and I are talking about the possibility at spending some of our time as park hosts when we retire (a lot of years from now -- but hey, ya gotta have dreams). Generally the park provides you with a free site with hook-ups for an RV, and you live there for a month or more as the go-to person for your little area. Exact duties vary, but it's usually 20-30 hours a week of things like making sure site occupancy matches what they have written down at the front office, litter pick-up, answering visitors' questions, resolving minor issues, reporting bigger issues, maybe staffing the visitors' center sometimes, and generally keeping an eye on the place. What I'm wondering is, what would it mean for CHL? Obviously the standard rules apply: no carry in buildings in national parks, COE land is out, etc. But say we're at a non-COE Texas state park (where carry would be legal for visitors), volunteering as representatives of the park, being compensated with a camp site. Does that change anything? I know when I volunteer for my city's Citizens on Patrol unit I'm not allowed to carry because I'm representing the city and liability and oh the horror. Just got to wondering if volunteering for the state would subject us to anti-carry rules.
(By the way, lest that look bad, our Citizens on Patrol unit is mostly for things like manning the barricades at the local festivals -- there's no crazy vigilante CHL neighborhood watch stuff.)
