I actually thought the restriction was removed by executive action around 2020?

In April 2020, last year of the Trump administration, the Corps of Engineers proposed a rule to allow licensed carry on Corps land. It received well over 8000 comments, mostly in favor as I recall, then the comment period closed in June 2020. It should have been published in the federal register for a period of time, and then it would have gone into effect.

Instead, they sat on it for months, and finally withdrew it in April 2021, four months after that slobbering demented puppet was installed.

US Corps of Engineers wants comments on regulation of firearms on USACE projects

So far 256 public comments are registered. Skimming through, 255 253 for change, one three against. I just saw the one. Basically “I feel better not having guns around, but the whackos will get their way”. Or something similar. What where the other 2? Curious what the argument against looks...

IF you are worried about it, simply call USACE at Monroe Lake or stop by their office at the dam. You can then apply for a written letter of permission from USACE Louisville District for you to carry at Monroe or any other USACE reservoir in Indiana. It's a simple process.

I'm starting to believe that 3 percent "myth."

never assume you'll get away with anything.

For a criminal, your criminal instinct is noticeably underdeveloped.

No idea what you're talking about, but ok.

Do what you want, just be prepared to face the consequences of it instead of assuming you'll get away with it. Either choice involves risk.

I have no idea what those pictures mean. I did go to school when they taught you how to read and know there is no camping and no swimming.

The dapper squirrel is right. There are folks that knows this firsthand. "What Da Man doesnt know, wont hurt me." Until Da Man gets invited in on an unrelated matter.

Like the grow operation that gets busted because the homeowner has a heart attack on his couch.

You never know when something comes up and TPTB find what youve been hiding.

It's nice to know where these 100% safe locations are.
Everyone that uses them can breathe a sigh of relief, confident that absolutely no one, including criminals will be armed there.
The Federal government is doing so much to make sure we're all kept safe.
Thank you for the warning signage Uncle Sam.

Corps of Engineers Property Off Limits?

Doing some research of Indiana carry laws and came across this site; . In the site there is a section defining 'Restricted Locations' for carrying firearms in our state of Indiana. I was 'taken aback', when I read it is illegal to carry on Army Corps of Engineers property, which include...

Anyone up for a letter writing campaign? Background: Many Indiana DNR Recreation properties are actually owned by the Army Corp of Engineers (ACoE). These include Raccoon Lake, Monroe Reservoir, Brookville Reservoir, and many others. A list of ACoE properties in Indiana is here:Corps Lakes...

Have you ever done that? I'd be extremely surprised if they granted permission to carry, but I guess you never know unless you tried...

so you can carry at the lake but not at the dam.....so how close to the dam can you get in your boat before your breaking the law???

No.

Lake Monroe is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and managed by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Lake Monroe (also known as Monroe Reservoir) is the largest man made body of water in Indiana at 10,750 acres. The watershed drainage area for Lake Monroe is 441 square miles and discharges into Salt Creek. The watershed sits in five counties including Monroe, Brown, Lawrence, Jackson and Bartholomew.

The Lake was built in 1964 and filled with water in 1965 by the Louisville District of the Army Corps of Engineers and designed originally for flood control for the White River. The Lake is 538 feet above sea level and is 35-40 feet deep. The spillway is 556 feet above sea level.

I generally just carry a nasty fixed blade when fishing / hiking those Gestapo areas. I might up it to a sword just to see what DNR will say...I mean nothing says random Asian dude like a katana and a tanto while fishing.

If you fish during hunting season (any hunting season, except deer season, really) and have the proper hunting license/stamp, just carry a long gun. No problem!

Letters of Permission are granted. IF you want one. But you have to make make the call and apply.

That comment was kind of tongue in cheek, but technically correct I believe. Some hunting laws are just silly here. Not allowing rifles on public ground for deer although you can hunt squirrels with a 30-06 if you want to for example.

Need some answers to the Dam question!!!!

You can use Rifles on public land for deer but it has to be a certain case length and bullet diameter!
