Lucky Peak Recreation area, is apparently a defense-free zone. It is either owned or run by the Army Corp of Engineers, and they sub-contract enforcement to the Ada County Sheriff's Office. My bro and I were open carrying as we were launching our families boat on saturday. Essentially what happened was two LEOs approached and told us we couldn't carry, but we could unload them and put them out of sight so we don't scare anyone... they claimed to have just looked up the law as they were initially unsure of how to "deal with you." Then the apparently senior officer took it upon himself to tell my bro to "Quit smiling." and "I can get you off the water if I want, so don't give me any attitude."
I really don't care if there is or isn't a law, this LEO went too far... granted, he wasn't a class A $#$@$##%, but he had no right or duty to try to impose himself on my brother's legal (smiling is apparently now a threat to LEO) actions.
OK. I've looked for quite some time... anybody know about this no-guns rule on Corp of Engineers Projects??? It's federal, so maybe there is a law?
