Army Corps of Engineers Land Gun Free Zones
For decades, the Corps of Engineers (COE) has infringed on the Second Amendment rights of people in the United States, by limiting the bearing of arms on Corps managed lands and waters. In the last decade, lawsuits have challenged these infringements. The Corps lost one, appealed, and appealed another. After the election of President Trump, the Corps agreed to settle the lawsuits in March of 2017. The proposed rule simply aligns the Corps of Engineers rules with existing law on other government-managed lands and waters.
Conformity with state and local laws has been the law for National Parks for a decade. It has been an enormous success. At the link, there is a button to access the site to submit a comment.

This is why Trump is great... the little things - even when nobody is really looking.
Never mind......only first link is good for N. Dakota......
Was this a holdover from war time?
The Corps argued some of the bans have been in place since 1946.
