thanks El Gato- I forgot Montana, couldn't find the civil law clause in Maryland; California is missing- not in their state constitution so have to look in civil blue codes.
couple other states missing. Forgot Puerto Rico, Guam etc.

My Mohawk cousins on The St. Regis reservation can carry openly and have any kind of weapons for hunting and whatever by 1784 Treaty Of Ft. Stanwix and 1794 Canadaigua treaties. Other tribes in US don't have that strict allowance but these treaties were based on English (1763,e.g., treaty of Sir William Johnson, who married a Mohawk maiden) treaties inherited by New York State which had to honor them, then inherited by US govt. So my cousins actually have more freedom to bear arms than the rest of us due to whittling away at the 2nd Amendment. My cousins aren't bound by the US Constitution but by treaty which cannot be abrogated. At least they will possess weapons forever, while the rest of us are in danger of being disarmed. When the govt is thru with us, My cousins will make a reservation last stand to possess but maybe their casinos will do the talking for them.

Are you claiming that your Mohawk cousins can buy & import, possess and use ANY weapons on their reservation with the full appoval of the US Governmemt? Full auto rifles for instance?

Are those treaties available on the net?
