I thought Gatewood was Bartow county, not coe. Surely a man can have a legal pistola in Bartow county.

Don't worry guys, the bad boys will follow the rules, yea right. If you have a permit are you allowed on COE property?

Ya reckon the Bartow County Sheriff's Department will be checking for those "packing", I have never seen a COE ranger at Bartow or anyplace other than the project office. I think a thief caught in the act by the right packer would be in bad shape. Like AW said I would rather apologize than ask permission.

I've never been checked on Allatoona, and if I was, I would not volunteer that I had a weapon. But, it does make me nervous because, depending on the individual who stops you, it could be a pretty serious issue if they found you with a pistol on corp property. I would hate to lose my weapons permit and the ability to get one in the future due to having some type of weapons violation. But, I've also never been given a pat down by a ranger.
Just something to think about.

More news, i was on craigslist this morning and there was an ad posted yesterday stating someone had their double Jet ski Trailer stolen off the back of their truck as well as a Black tool box, right out of the Gatewood Parking Lot between 6:00 pm & 7:00 pm. There is just one way in and one way out of the Boat Ramp Parking Lot, i don't understand how this keeps happening. I have been at that ramp probably 100+ times and quite often i see people just driving in and out just looking around and watching, they weren't pulling a boat or anything, just cruising the parking lot. There Needs to be some kind of loitering Law or something for that place, because someone is going to get hurt, i work too hard for what i own. If that did in fact happen, it wasn't reported to the park manager or the Sheriff's department. The only thing that happened was a couple weeks ago (as stated in the lead post for this topic) was a man was hit in the back of the head and his medications were stolen out of the truck. As far as folks cruising the parking lot, it is a public ramp and there's nothing you can do about that. Bartow County has a one day mandatory furlow, every month, for all employees because of the lack of funding in the county. It's extremely unlikely that they will ever gate the ramp and have someone keeping cruisers and loiters out.

Keith!!! Those emails you sent me were for Bartow CARVER, not Gatewood. There is another unflattering name for the ramp you are talking about but it's in between Illinois and Eagle Scout Cove. Quit trying to scare everyone and chill dude!!!

Just something to think about. whats the difference with duck hunters.. your weapon is on the coe property... just carry it chris.. and just tell them your hunting theives.. ;D

Yep, that was my bad, my mistake. Gatewood is 1st class and i love it there. Bartow/Carver & Gatewood are 2 different venues. I think where i get confused is by turning onto Bartow Beach rd, but there is no doubt Gatewood is well maintained and safe, as it was pointed out to me there has been only occurance and that was this recent one. I have been fishing Allatoona since 91 and that's the first one i have heard of but many others at other ramps. Dicky is a good man and a hard working man-sorry buddy-my bad jumping the gun like that-pardon the pun. Mo
