Carrying in Tribal Jurisdictions

[O4L]

There is a member here, chubb... something, that works as a plainclothes LEO for Citizen Pottawatomie Nation (CPN). I was setting up a meeting with him for a gun deal , and asked if we could meet at the Grand Casino, and he said that if I showed up on any CPN land with a gun he would arrest me.??? Not a real friendly kind of way to treat a fellow OSAer.

He said he had recentyl arrested some guy at the CPN bowling alley for open carrying, so I asked him what the deal was, and he said it is illegal to carry anywhere on Indian land, and that they could arrest you if they wanted.

C'mon, man. If you're gonna throw a story about another member on the forum at least get the name correct so that questions can be directed correctly. It requires minimal effort.

Sorry, it's been a while, and I'm too lazy to look it up.

No guns or alcohol on any Indian land. Some of the casinos can serve alcohol but you can't take it into the parking lot.

I had some beer taken from the bed of my pickup by tribal police years ago.

Indian casinos are not necessarily going to be "outside" the State of Oklahoma, are they? CPN "property" and the CPN reservation aren't always the same thing, right? I don't see how the grand Casino off I-40 is an Indian reservation...somebody enlighten us? I would think they could post no-carry and also enforce whatever OK law there is on carrying were parimutuel wagering occurs, yadda yadda...

Theyre (casinos) not built on 'reservations'. The casinos are built on land that is held in trust for either an indian or a tribe, but it isnt a reservation.

I've always seen signs for "No Weapons Allowed" on doors, walls, signs in parking lots, when it comes to Indian Casinos. It may not be big but I've always seen it there.

If you're not on a reservation, I don't think they can bust you in the parking lot, casino or no. IANAL

I think we all know that casinos and clearly marked tribal buildings are off limits for carry. The concern is what about someone who unknowingly pulls into a tribal owned gas station or whose car breaks down while traveling through unmarked tribal land.

Is it only good will on the part of tribal law enforcement and authorities that protects us? Is it illegal to possess a firearm in these places and what is the penalty?

It would have to be clearly marked, like "Now Entering Kansas" lets us know we just left Oklahoma.
