Awww the hate crime laws must have gone completely over your head...
The OP believed at the time, and may yet retain that belief, that his carrying was unlawful. Said so in his op. So, the singular point is, if you "know" it to be unlawful, your act, why violate the "law."Actually, I believe he was wrong in that. I find no state law that makes firearms possession illegal on Indian lands. Tribal laws do not apply to non-tribal members. I'm still looking, but the most I can see is that the Indians can only trespass him from their lands, or at least back onto the highway.

...to the best of my knowledge if a Skokomish visits the Navajo reservation the Navajos can't touch him with their tribal law either...
Why?
If you are not breaking any other laws of the state what I am hearing is you will lose your firearm and be kicked of the Reservation. I am also hearing you will never get your firearm back. If you are breaking other state laws they will most likely contact the local state authorities and they will come and they will arrest you. Most Tribes work closely with the the local Sheriff and State Officials in Law Enforcement. In some states they are also sworn state Police Officers. That depends on the state and the Tribe. New Mexico is the only state that has a statute that states your NM issued permit/license is not valid on the Reservations. Going to a Reservation is like leaving the country in some aspects. I remember talking to a Federal Agent who worked near and on a Reservation years back. I ask him what the laws were and how they worked. His answer was: "When you find out please tell me!"
If I am the tribe I am thinking my property, my land, my nation I published my rules for entering my property and he choose to willfully ignore them. If nothing else that is rude being rude in return is kinda earned IMO especially since they basically have no authority over the visitors to their nation.
This is correct. Each tribe's laws only apply to members of that tribe, not to any Indian.
Chalk this one up to an action that hopefully you are able to live and learn a valuable lesson to pass on to someone else before they get into hot water.
Some wish they could've only been able to say what you are experiencing, after they lost their gun through an unfortunate incident, while they now sit in prison reliving a moment of bad judgement.
So you believe that if your neighbor ignores some of your 'rules' you can confiscate his personal property and not return it.....interesting.
Where did I say that? I said the tribes are doing it I never said I was OK with it.
And let's get one thing clear. Indian Land is not an independent nation. It is land granted to Indian tribes under treaty from the United States Government (the sovereign owner along with the State in which they exist).
I didn't ask for your opinion and I know for a fact that no one here who carries their fire arm daily is going to leave their gun at home while passing through a reservation on their way to go somewhere else where it is legal to carry so go somewhere else with your ignorant opinions because I will bet a good amount of money that you drink a beer or whiskey from time to time and no one is going to give you crap about it as long as your not drunk when you carry and the same should be said of marijuana but regardless I didn't ask your opinion on wether or not I should carry a firearm or be aloud to what I do in the privacy of my home is my business
Ive already replaced my stolen property and am probably much more responsible when handling fire arms then you..
