Sec. 20.511  Carrying of firearms.

    Employees, except those specifically designated to perform 
enforcement, police or other official duties requiring the use of 
firearms, are prohibited from carrying or having in their possession 
firearms on property under the control of the Secretary. Employees who 
are officially stationed in parks, refuges, Indian reservations, other 
Tribal lands or other wilderness areas which are known to be inhabited 
by wild animals, are permitted, when on those lands, to carry and use 
firearms for personal protection as permitted by existing policy or as 
authorized by the park, refuge or area supervisor. Notwithstanding this 
paragraph, employees who are not on official duty may carry firearms on 
Departmental lands under the same conditions and in accordance with 
procedures and authorizations established for members of the general 
public.
