Is CHL carry legal on Corps of Engineers Property

Post by Nano »

I visit Joe Pool Lake often. Specifically a radio controlled model airplane flying field. Joe Pool Lake is Corps of Engineers property. The flying field is in a City of Grand Prairie Park on Corps property. Can I carry with my CHL legally at the flying field?

Even though it is managed by the city, the land is still officially owned by COE, so I would say that trumps the city and it is no carry.

My initial thought is NO, but there might be some kind of maximum distance from the waterline where that is true. However, I still think the answer is NO. :grumble

Flying field, parking lot, distance from water ...don't matter
Like U S Army Base Parking Lot ... it's still Army land, even if leased to City or State

Same Situation at a park in Georgetown, the Parking Lot at the Park is a "city Park" on army land,

From NRA-ILA:
Next, in a Thurs. July 14 voice vote on the House floor, the House adopted an amendment to the Energy and Water Appropriations bill (H.R. 2354—which passed the House on July 15) prohibiting expenditures to enforce the Army Corps of Engineers regulation that bans gun possession on the 11 million acres of land and water the Corps manages. The amendment, sponsored by Reps. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Bob Gibbs (R-Ohio) and Jason Altmire (D-Pa.) will enhance self-defense rights for law-abiding Americans who hunt, camp and fish on Corps property. (Rep. Gibbs, joined by the other lawmakers, has previously sponsored H.R. 1865, the "Recreational Lands Self-Defense Act," to overturn the Corps' anti-gun rule.) Commenting on the amendment, Rep. Altmire noted, "It is important for sportsmen to be able to defend themselves while they legally hunt and fish on property that the Corps owns and operates, much of which is in rural areas without adequate law enforcement."
Checking the bill status, it is currently sitting unpassed in the Senate.
