Weapons carry on Army Corps land…

[JimmyJet]

Has anyone obtained authorization (in the past few years) for concealed carry on Army Corps of Engineers land…. like lake Allatoona for example? If so, do you have info on specifically who you communicated with (what office address/phone number/person) did you submit the request and obtain the authorization from?

TIA

Pretty sure I saw posts from a couple of people about this in the last few years.

Is there some sort of process to get a permit for that? Per Federal law, it’s illegal.

There is a process. You have to send in a copy of your gwc and dl to the district commander of the specific property. Here’s the letter I used for lake Alllatoona several years ago. Don’t know if constitutional carry changed the process though. Good luck.

Dear Colonel Joly,

I am writing you to request permission to carry a loaded concealed firearm on COE property. I understand that per 36 C.F.R. section 327.13 (a) (4) you are the individual that grants that permission.

Enclosed are copies of my current Georgia Weapons Carry License and Georgia Drivers License.

I appreciate your consideration and please let me know what additional information or fees that are required.

Be sure and cover all basis. Not all COE property in GA is covered out of Mobile office. You also need to contact Savannah office. Letters from both districts are required.

This is what my letter looked like. But I forget to copy BOTH SIDES of my Ga. Weapons Carry License, and they wrote back asking for another set of copies of both sides, so that delayed getting my permission letter by a month.

Also the "District Commander" changes regularly. Every year or two maybe?
As of the summer of 2021, there's a new one for the MOBILE district, which covers Lake Lanier and Alatoona: Colonel Jeremy Jiggs Chapman,

Commander and District Engineer

Colonel Jeremy Jiggs Chapman graduated and received his commission from the United States Military Academy in 1998. He’s an avid fan of Army Football, as he played offensive line while at the academy

As far as I can tell, anyone exercising their new "constitutional carry" rights under Georgia law who does not have a current GWL issued by the state (or the County probate judge acting under authority of State law) can't get a USACE permission letter. Having a pistol carry license is required, perhaps not by federal law but by longstanding (several years) US Army Corps of Engineers policy.

This was my question…. there seems to be a number of offices one could contact… and I think there is an ACofE office in the NW Metro area but wasn’t certain of who to contact locally…. thanks for providing more info on this.
