Closing the loop on my own question:
Doing some more research, I came to the same effective conclusion via different reasoning. Specifically, that any residence exemption does not come into play because the CoE Title 36 rules do not allow residences on CoE property or water without special permission. So while a boat might be a considered a residence by the IRS, it is not by the CoE.
What I have not found is anything that says what the offense and penalties would be for carrying on CoE property. I found property-specific rules that say anything from "you would be asked to remove the firearm" to " you could face substantial fines and jail time".

Yet Another CoE question
Apologies if this specific question has been covered; if so I failed to find it. And I'm afraid I know the answer, but will ask just in case:
I know the Army Corps of Engineers forbids guns on CoE land and water. What if one has a boat docked on a CoE lake that has living accommodations, e.g. cooking, sleeping, and sanitary accommodations? Such a boat can be considered a second (or vacation) residence at least for IRS purposes. How do one's right to keep a gun in a residence interact with the CoE rules?
