Well they have to. Early this year a woman sued the COE because she couldn't carry her gun with her on COE property. The court granted her an injunction against them enforcing the prohibition of firearms against her. The issue was that she had been assaulted by a neighbor was granted a emergency firearms licence and tried but was told there was no way to get an exception to the prohibition of firearms. The case is still ongoing but they are not supposed to enforce the regulation right now.Rex B wrote:Thanks, don't know that I have seen that clarified.
Didn't I see something recently that the COE rules are under review?

Rex B wrote:What about carrying under the MPA in your vehicle. As I understand it, National Parks reflect the laws of the state they are in, so (for example) an unlicensed person can carry in their vehicle in Big bend NP or the Crockett National Forest. Do Texas state parks bar firearms in your vehicle?
Texas State Parks follow everyday Texas law. The only exception I know of is if there is a park that is also on COE land in which case there is a strict no gun policy. Heck a no bow and arrow policy.

We are planning on going there tomorrow.chasfm11 wrote:We are RVers and have been trying to stay at as many of the Texas State Parks as we can. There is a State Park Pass that offers a few nights of discount camping and, more important, relief from the daily charge per person.
I've talked to several of the rangers at various State Parks about CHL and gotten a positive response from all of them. As Keith points out, some of the State Parks are on COE land - like Lake Whitney, Ray Roberts and Grapevine, even though the later is run by a vendor.
Mustang Island is on our list to visit so any feedback is appreciated.
