Is it legal to carry a gun at Ruby Falls?

[jbbear6002]

My girlfriend and I are planning on going to Ruby Falls, and maybe Chattanooga tomorrow, and I want to know if it is legal to carry there or not. I know I can legally conceal in Tennessee but not sure about city limits or if Ruby Falls is a state park. My online research hasn't found anything reliable.

Who cares if it is... carry on.

Usually in state I go by the "is there metal detectors" rule of thumb but I try to be more mindful while out of state.

We went last year, and I don't recall seeing a sign. I carried concealed, no issues.

In Georgia, all the places off-limits to firearms for GWL holders are listed, or at least mentioned and cross-referenced, in Code section 16-11-127.
State parks aren't in there.
State parks are legal for carry for any GWL holder. If you don't have a carry permit, it's still OK to have one in your vehicle.
But Corps of Engineers lakes, docks, and parks are off-limits. That's federal law, not any state's law. And the U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the government's gun ban at such places.

In Tennessee, some parks ARE off-limits, and not all local laws are preempted if the city or county had a gun ban in place before a certain date 20-something years ago. The off-limits places list in TN can get complicated.

Don't discharge down there without serious ear protection LOL! Probably be worse than a 7" AR 10 pistol letting loose!

Those who would not want to lose their GWL or have to pay a fine, or jail time or all the above (which is possible if its federal law and not state such as army core of engineers property and the like).

Ruby Falls, under Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, TN, is a private commercial venture.
It's owned and operated by a family business and their land trust.
