I am not sure but perhaps I was breaking the law. I was not taught about this particular in CHL class here in Texas and I am not sure if I was legal or not.
Opinions, comments, snotty remarks, true legal observations?

The law is whatever the local LEO who has pulled you over decides it is. Try invoking your rights and he’ll magically find an eight-ball of cocaine under your seat. Why do you think they are all paranoid about civilians filming their arrest stops?

Good story, sounds like a good place to camp and have a grin with your buddy.
I think all the CC laws change once you set foot on Federal land. That can be confusing if you are not aware that its actually Federal land or not. Like you found out.
Another factor in this is the local LEO enforcing the Federal statute on Federal land.
Can he do that w/out being formally requested to by a Fed? Things get complicated real quick with all the different hoops to jump through.
