Congrats to you on being able to carry on the natchez trace!!! And congrats to us all for this small win.for me the main problem is carrying on the natchez trace. i live very close to it and to go anywhere i need to use it. the fine for carrying on it was $200 and confiscation of weapon. it will now be legal to carry on the trace but i couldn't remember which day it started. i thought it was the ninth.
No, Indian Reservations are NOT "Sovereign Nations". But tribes, some of them, are. And, within limits, they get to set some rules. Including stealing revenue from the surrounding states by selling cheap cigarettes and other tobacco products. And shooting salmon with spearguns (a highly non-traditional "Native American" method of fishing). Oh well.Indian reservations are sovereign nations. They probably have a few rules of their own and are not bound by state gun control laws. Don't believe it palface? Lets see how far you get salmon fishing with a spear gun. Yes they can. No you can't...
We have been fishing and camping in the Everglades National park for years. Nobody but an absolute idiot would be camping 50 miles from help without a gun. You are on your on. several times a ranger has stopped us and asked if we had a firearm . We replied yes. Only once did we have trouble and it was with a new inexperienced ranger. She decided to make a Federal case of it and here is the result. You are within the boundaries of a state. If the State laws allow you to have a fire arm then you can have one. the park is under Federal regulation. A regulation cannot superceed a law and the law takes precident. Except for that one time we have never had any problem. Also of note we have never fired a weapon in the thirty years we have been out there. Well, maybe once.
