Wrote a letter to Spirit Mountain Casino (aka Confederated Tribes) pointing out that since they gave money to Ginny Burdick who is now poised to introduce new gun ban legislation, I will no longer patronize their establishment.

Next up: Nike, who gave money to Blumenauer. There are plenty of other shoe choices.
 
Careful there! You are in a world of crap if you get caught packing illegally on the reservation. It's my understanding that it is an instant federal crime. Keep it hid unless you have absolutely no other option.

Each tribe has it's own laws when on reservation land and the casino is just that. Not sure Federal Laws gun laws apply to tribal lands either

Don't forget that unless state law dictates it, which I know of none that do, tribal laws are not applicable to a non-tribal member. The only thing a tribe can do is to trespass you from their land if you are caught violating one of their "laws", which are really rules for non-tribal members.

What?! You mean I shouldn't flash my CCW?! I DID NOT know that, LOL! It's not a Federal crime, because it isn't a Federal property/bldg.

They don't have any kind of signs stating otherwise, I looked. Kick me out, I don't care. The only thing worth going there for is the Cedar Plank buffet... I eat $60 worth of shrimp/crab for $18 (and change) every time I go there. ;)
 
I found this site the has a handy dandy, easy to read display of who you would deal with if you get caught. General Rules Criminal Jurisdiction in Indian Country While you would hope for some kindly discretion if noticed, I don't think you'd be looking at something as light as "We'd like you to leave the premises" as you would for say carrying at a mall with a sign. Do what feels good for you. Just trying to keep you outta the news :)
 
Have crossed Warm Springs nearly my whole life with hunting arms in the vehicle as well as side arms loaded and locked up with ammo in a non adjacent location in the vehicle just in case.
Not even sure that is ok per tribal rules. The way I read them is that you need permission from the police chief in order to transport across.
I havent researched lately but I recall having a tough time getting a clear ideal on what you can/can't do.

I am not the expert, but have read that if you are on state or federal highways you are not at risk transporting your weapons through reservations. But don't stop for gas or anything else or you might have a problem.
 
Raindog, do you have a list of Burdick financial backers? I'm with you and firing off a letter to Spirit Mountain right now. Do you have a direct email address? The contact us page make you fill out a form first. Contact Us | Spirit Mountain Casino in Oregon

EDIT/Update - Sent this via contact form:

Sirs: it is my intention to not patronize you further due to your financial support of Rep Ginny Burdick. I do not agree with her extremist gun control views and will not support her or anyone who supports her. I will discourage my friends and family as well. I hope you reconsider your financial support of her.

regards

Hell of an idea dog. I feel better already:) Blumenhauer sent out a gun control survey @ 6 months back, he's heard from me multiple times on this. Time for Nike to get a letter now. Thanks for the great idea!
 
The Tribes send Officers to Federal training to have jurisdiction to arrest and charge Non-Members. Summons will be to the nearest Federal Courthouse where the Judge does not like to see these cases and usually gives out hefty fines.

Remember that Reservations were originally set up as prisons and you don't have all your Rights in the Constition there.

So I'd recommend you take breaking the Law on the Reservations more seriously.

I don't even like breaking the speed limit through there.

I think I do recall reading that now. I never stop there. However I have camped at the resort in the past but the pea shooters stayed home for that.

If that is true in Or. then someone needs to get slapped. In Wa. tribal officers are state commissioned only if they meet the minimum requirements and an application for commissioning is sent in to the county sheriff. Even then they can only arrest a non-tribal member for a violation of state or county law and you end up in county jail.
