    State parks and CHL

    If i remember right, we can now carry in State parks, ...right?

    nm... found my answer

    Can I carry my handgun in Texas State Parks and National Parks in Texas?

    According to correspondence recieved from Park Information Texas Parks and Wildlife,Customer Service Center, A person can carry a loaded concealed handgun in Texas State Parks with a current and valid CHL license at anytime.


    On February 22nd, 2010 it became legal when visiting National Parks to carry loaded firearms in the same manner and to the same extent that such carry is legal in the state parks of the state in which the National Park is located.
    Please remember that you must continue to follow all CHL rules while carrying in State and National Parks. Keep in mind that even In National Parks where carry is permitted the law continues to prohibit carry in federal facilities and buildings located in such parks. So, carry is still banned in park visitor centers, ranger stations and administrative buildings and offices staffed by federal employees. Also, the National Park Service will likely take a broad interpretation of “federal facility.”

    Texas State Parks were always legal to carry in. National Parks were recently added.

    Only restriction I am aware of in Texas is COE land.
