Colorado might have some Ute areas down south,and its easy to cross over into New Mexico, just wondering if anyone has heard of this, and exactly what 'proves ownership'? A purchase receipt?
A picture with the serial number or a receipt would work.
you have to remember, when crossing Reservation territory, it is just that. It is a separate government entity with its own laws that may or may not follow the laws of the state around it.
