CC On Reservation

[hollywood63]

Since are believe Indian reservations are considered federal. Can you cc on one with your state or other states with reciprocity?

PS: Indian reservations are certainly NOT "considered federal".

Howdy,

When I was on vacation in Alaska during the summer ALL the Reservations were clearly marked "No guns allowed". My cousin stated that there were two things you didn't want the Indians to have...... Guns and booze, especially at the same time.

It might be different in other states and/or Indian Nations but it was that way in Alaska.

I have CCWed in Arizona in the Navajo Reservation but I was traveling through on the highway and most of northern AZ is a Reservation.

Were I live in Idaho there is a reservation that the main highway runs through, and it is legal to carry a hand gun, but any rifles have to be unloaded while in your vehicle. There is also a gun shop on the reservation and I carry all the time when I go there.

You need to check with the Tribal Regulations.

In Nevada the law is simple and clear. There are 3 places you may not CC or OC; 1 - Government buildings. 2 - Schools. 3 - Indian Reservations. It is noted that highways that go through reservations are exempt but if you pull off the highway, even to get gas, you must not carry.

In Washington it is up to the tribe to make their rules. If you are a non-Indian on the reservation, it is not a crime to disobey the tribal law, but they can eject you from the reservation and you can be guilty of trespassing if you don't leave. Most of the reservations in Washington have no problems with CPL holders carrying firearms.

My son in law works for Indian services. No guns on Navajo land except in your vehicle if it is on the highway. You step out you leave your weapon in the car.

All Native American reservations are "Sovereign Nations" and thus they each make their own laws. Most laws are in line with the US.
But really it is up to the individual tribes.

However, crimes enumerated under Tribal law only apply to Indians. A non-Indian cannot be charged with a crime under Tribal law unless there is a matching state or Federal statute that they get charged with for violating on the reservation.

If tribal law is no carrying of firearms, and a non-Indian is carrying a firearm on the reservation in a legal manner by state and Federal laws, then the non-Indian can be ordered to leave the reservation, but not charged with a crime (unless they refuse to leave the reservation).

If state law says no firearms in bars, then that law also applies to non-Indians even when on the reservation and in most states the Tribal police can issue a citation for the illegal act and forward it to the state court/prosecutor for prosecution.

Interesting... Our guide on a hike through Indian land there carried. Didn't see any signs anywhere.

Was very disappointed to have never seen a bear.
