I understand that 43 CFR 423 has already been open for comments although I do
have issues enforcing some of the rules. For instance:
§ 423.30 Weapons, firearms, explosives, and fireworks.
(a) You may possess firearms, ammunition, bows and arrows, crossbows, or other
projectile firing devices on Reclamation lands and waterbodies, provided the
firearm, ammunition, or other projectile firing device is stowed, transported, and/or
carried in compliance with applicable Federal, state, and local law, with the
following exceptions:
(1) You must not have a weapon in your possession when at or in a Reclamation
facility.
(2) You must comply with any prohibitions or regulations applicable to weapons in
a special use area established by an authorized official under subpart E of this
part 423.
(b) You must not discharge or shoot a weapon unless you are:
(1) Using a firearm or other projectile firing device lawfully for hunting or fishing as
allowed under §423.32, or at an authorized shooting or archery range; and
(2) In compliance with applicable Federal, state, and local law.
(c) You must not use or possess explosives, or fireworks or pyrotechnics of any
type, except as allowed by a permit issued pursuant to subpart D of this part 423,
or in special use areas so designated by an authorized official under subpart E of
this part 423.
I cannot determine if a parking lot would be considered a "Facility". Nor can I
determine if Hoover Dam security zone is located within a "Special use area".
I think some more clarification as to where exactly these "Special use areas" are
would be helpful.
Thanks
