What have you done to correct this?
Anyone can be arrested under Federal Law who enters US Army Corps of Engineers Parking Lot, at a Park/recreational area/Lake with a gun in their car even though it is perfectly legal under Texas law.
This affects persons possessing a concealed handgun license, as well as unlicensed citizens with a legal gun in their car, under the Motorist Protection Act.
Why not have it go by State Law as the National Parks, US Forestry Service, US Fish and game/wildlife areas do?
This affects Interstate Commerce in limiting/not attracting visitors to the recreation areas who desire to be able to protect their children/family from rabid skunks/coyotes/venomous snakes/feral hogs/bobcats etc.. (Not even mentioning the murders that occur on those remote recreational properties)
