Re: Guns and Cigarettes
You have asked a lot of fairly complex questions in a specialized area of law, alot of which depends upon the Native American Nation and the State at issue. Sometimes Federal law applies, it depends. If you're facing criminal charges, your best bet is to contact a local lawyer who specializes in this area.
What you can do, however, is to look for some of the criminal cases involving tobacco sales off reservation on the federal court opinions, most of which are easily accesible on-line. Many times these involve people carrying tobacco off-res and you might find guidance there.
