Re: Driving and Crossing State Lines

As far as criminal law, unless you are a member of the particular Indian nation that you are traveling through, you are not subject to their (Indians') criminal jurisdiction. There must be a State or Federal law criminalizing the conduct. In Texas presumably the Nation could give you a 30.06 notice... In other states there may be State laws that apply to non-Indians traveling on reservations in those states.

I think the more common practice on reservations is for the Tribal Police to use their civil jurisdiction to relieve you of your gun if they discover it, and then basically say "what are you going to do about it?".
