Title18 USC Section 1151 defines Indian land as reservations, dependent Indian communities, and all land allotments (trust land) including rights-of-way.

Here is part of a three day course in a few paragraphs:

The Indian Country Crimes Act, The Assimilative Crimes Act, and the Major Crimes Act are the major laws governing federal jurisdiction in Indian Country.

Under the Assimilative Crimes Act, any crime that is not covered under federal law borrows the state law and prosecutes in federal court. If a non-Indian commits a crime against a non-Indian the state courts have jurisdiction. If a non-Indian commits a crime against an Indian, federal court has jurisdiction.

The tribes are serious about their no gun laws and violators can expect to face federal prosecution using state laws. It would be messy and difficult to defend.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking of. I should have clarified and stated governed by state law.

My experience, working in Anadarko is that most violence in the casinos is related to either drunks fighting drunks or parking lot drug activity.

The "street" answer- Don't get caught.

I know several Tribal and BIA officers that aren't interested in arresting otherwise lawfully compliant CCW folks if they came across them in a casino or on trust land, but I wouldn't count on it since the circumstances surrounding any officer making "official contact" with a CC holder would probably end up in paperwork and documentation of all events that occured.

Wonder if any Duncan PD guys are on here? They just got cross deputized to cover Chicasaw land and facilities. I'm sure CCW came up in the process.
