Which in my mind puts State Parks by COE lakes into a grey area. Close to my house is Lake Somerville, with two State Parks (Birch Creek and Nails Creek) adjoining it. So some of the land surrounding the lake is controlled by the State of Texas PWD, but we still can't carry there.Keith B wrote:The ruling was only for National Parks. The NPS service is an entity of the Department of the Interior. The Corps of Engineers is a branch of the US Army. They have responsibility for the land surrounding lakes that are generally used for flood control. The National Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management are not covered by the ruling either and have separate guidelines for firearms as well.fredtubbs wrote:So, why is there a difference in Copr of Engineer parks not allowing concealed weapons?
So when, if ever, is COE getting in line with the NPS?
