Can I carry a firearm on my person in Nevada?
Nevada has an open carry law that permits a person to carry a handgun
in plain view, however, there are exceptions. For instance, Clark
County requires you to have a registration to open carry, and you must
carry your registration with you when you are carrying a gun. Some
cities such as North Las Vegas and Boulder City have "deadly weapon"
laws, and you could be cited or arrested if you pass through their
jurisdictions with a firearm in your vehicle.
How do I obtain a Concealed Firearms Permit in Nevada?
You must apply to the sheriff of the county in which you reside for a
permit. The sheriff of each county upon request must furnish the
application. You must be a Nevada state resident, 21 years of age or
older, and not prohibited from possessing a firearm pursuant to NRS
202.360.
What about revolvers and CCW Permit?
Also effective Oct 1, a CCW permittee can qualify with a revolver
and thereafter carry ANY revolver (or derringer) - the permit will
simply state "Revolvers"; however, one must continue to qualify with
each make/model/caliber of semi auto pistols.
Where is a good place for information about Nevada's CCW and shooting information
Take a look at Carryconcealed's Forum section dedicated to Nevada. Lots of links and great information.
What was the legislation in October 2007 about
Also effective Oct 1, 2007 is legislation that prohibits
counties/cities/towns from enacting ordinances more restrictive than
state law - the legislature reserves for itself the right to
legislate firearms law. This law is retroactive. Hence the
draconian ordinances in North Las Vegas and Boulder City should
become null and void.
