OC at several shops on the eastside of Indianapolis today while filling out applications for jobs. Petsmart, Uncle Bills, two veterinary clinics, and a few others.
THAT'S an interesting approach. Did anyone question you about carrying while you were filling out applications? Do you know if any of the companies you filled out applications for had 'No Weapon' policies?
Do you plan on OCing while you work there?
Ouch. That's an ACoE property.
Why would they have that?
Why wouldn't they?
I didn't realize that, didn't see any signs anywhere designating it as such. That might be something that needs to be addressed. It's labeled as a State Park. Also, they had a sign up for a place for hunters to sign in (down by teh big boat loading ramp on the southern end of the park). Why would they have that?
It is legal to hunt on ACoE property, with certain restrictions. All covered in the Rules and Regs linked above.
As for signage, I haven't been there in person (since I prefer to carry). I know it is advertised as ACoE in the literature (linked above). There are also ACoE boundary markers (orange stakes) around the property, possibly not obvious once on the property itself.
The ACoE is the LAST holdout for allowing otherwise lawful carry on public property. ALL other Federal land management divisions have converted to "following local laws and ordinances", though they still follow the "not in federal buildings" code. I believe there is a bill in Congress to change this, though I am not sure of the number or status.
You can also contact the Louisville District office, and the Commander there (Colonel Luke Leonard) to request written permission to carry on ACoE property. I am still waiting for a response from my request.

LOL, how long ago did you make that request?
Last summer sometime. Probably time to try again.
LOL....maybe 17,000 of us should all write and ask for permission....at the same time.
That would be most awesome.
You want to start the thread, or shall I?
Well, here is one:https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo..._at_indiana_dnr_properties-3.html#post1578246
Maybe we can get another started and get some momentum this time?
I'm drafting a new letter right now....
