Does anyone know if you can carry on the Cherokee Indian reservation in NC? Cant find anything on it.
Generally Indian Reservations are considered as separate nations. You will probably need to contact them directly and ask.
My understanding in FL is that you cannot carry without tribal permission.
Same, in OR. It's NOT U.S. land, and you're within another nation's borders while there. (Of course, taking the long view, none of this is U.S. land ... but that's another discussion for another forum.)Quote:

He is stating simple fact that a Florida License does not work in a seperate coutry, which is what tribal lands are, they are not US soil.Quote:

DaveTheWave,
I have always been told that guns are pretty much a no/no in Cherokee, NC.
I can't find anything in their law that addresses concealed carry specifically but it seems that the following is the governing authority on the matter. I don't have time right now to research it further but it looks like this is the answer to your question.
The Cherokee Code: Published by Order of the Tribal Council of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians
Quote:
(a) It shall be unlawful to:
(2) Carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle on a public road without lawful authority to do so; or to discharge any kind of firearm from a motor vehicle without lawful authority to do so; or to discharge a firearm from, upon or across any public highway without lawful authority to do so.
You may be able to dig a little and find more specific info. Hope this helps.

It starts on page 11 of the file.
Federal Law prohibits any kind of weapon on any reservation. The ruling is like that concerning National Parks.:mad:
If you go to that area, you might want to check out the Kilmer Memorial Forest. It is awesome. (no weapons though)!
Please cite the Federal law.Quote:

I have worked with a number of tribal governments here in Oregon. I am a CCW carrier and each of the tribes had a different take on it. My advice is to contact the tribal government and ask what their policy is and follow it. Tribal police can be a bit independent and testy so don't mess with them:gah:
OP : When are you going ? ... isn't next week is it ? That's when I'm going there and trying to find out info as well.
All the tribal nations in the southwest allow for peaceful transfer through their lands. I travel the area a lot and have contacted each one individually. All the same. Stay on the highway and get the heck out as soon as you can.
