There are a number of legal concerns about travel in the Navajo Nation. We will address all of them, or as many as we can anticipate, before we begin. One of the benefits of having a Navajo guide is that we will be getting a leg up on rules and laws that we need to be most aware of. Here are the ones that I am working on now:
1. Carrying firearms. I am currently informed that possessors of CCWs for the states in which we travel, may carry their weapons concealed and loaded. Some of us have these permits that cover Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, (Colorado too, I think). Long guns may be another matter and I will get a definitive word on this and the CCWs as well.
2. Alcohol is not allowed on the Reservation. Can't sell it, can't consume it and can't possess it.
3. Any travel off of main roads requires the use of a Navajo guide. We are covered here.
4. All usual rules and laws of vehicle travel will be enforced. Obviously included are speed laws and I assume that others include seat belts, current registration, valid drivers license, vehicle insurance and if you plan on carrying a firearm, bring that CCW.
If you have any other legal concerns, please post up.
