We are planning a trip to the Grand Canyon and will be traveling through several Indian reservations in Arizona on the way. These tribes are part of the Colorado River Tribal group and, according to handgunlaw.us, their regulation says:
A person commits the offense of carrying a concealed weapon if, without legal justification, or lawful authority as hereinafter provided, he knowingly carries concealed on or about his person a knife, firearm, or other dangerous weapon as hereinafter defined.
a. It shall be an affirmative defense that the accused was:
(1) Lawfully authorized to carry such knife, firearm or other dangerous weapon concealed on or about his person, which lawful authority shall be by permit issued by the Tribal Council or such other authority designated by it, or by written permit or other authority of the United States;
(2) A Police or other law enforcement officer of the Tribes or the United State acting in the performance of his official duties; or
(3) Was in this own dwelling, or place of business, or on property owned or under his control at the time of the act of carrying; or
(4) Was in a private automobile or other means of conveyance and was carrying the weapon therein for lawful protection of his or another permit or property while traveling.
Am I correct in interpreting this as meaning my Missouri CCW is valid (according to #1 above)? We plan on staying on the highway while traveling through the reservations. Any Arizona folks with some insight? Thanks!
