TVA lands question

[Andyshowfan]

I am going camping this weekend at a TVA campground. As many of you may know, TVA have signs posted at the entrances to TVA held land stating ".........firearms are prohibited.....etc" I'm wondering if that would be proper signage for disallowing HCP people from carrying or not. I'm unsure of the "state" vs "federal" issues surrounding this. I know on some TVA lands firearms are allowed for the purpose of hunting and even have some shooting ranges here and there. Just wanting some input.

There is a parking allot that TVA has setup to allow people to park at to walk to a fishing place. People cross TVA property about 100 yards, get on railroad tracks walk a short distance to fish near the plant.

I stopped going there for 2 reasons after I got my HCP. One I wanted to Carry and second the fishing sucked anyways.

I always went before unarmed and never thought about it much, never had any trouble either.

Here is the sign that I decided to not walk past armed.

I don't want to be a test case.

The big blue signs on entrances to TVA property are enough for me not to carry which is unfortunate. My family and I like to catfish in many areas along the tennessee river. On more than one occassion we have seen some questionable individuals roaming around late into the evening and we'd all have felt a lot safer if allowed to carry.

I have no idea what federal law gives TVA the right to post property, beyond buildings.

Maybe it's a "rule" like the USPS has, dunno.

More like the IRS, "Do whatever you want!"
