Nv CCW...Firearm qualification (How stupid)

[chekist9942]

Nevada Assemblyman David Bobzien is introducing legislation for the up coming 2011 legislative session that would make semi-auto handguns the same as for revolvers for Nevada CCW permits. He thinks the differentiation is silly. Tell your representatives and senators to cosponsor and vote for the bill to pass. I have also asked him to look into correcting Nevada law to bypass the NICS check each time you purchase a firearm if you carry a Nevada CCW.

SB 126 and AB 143 both in respective judiciary committees.

Some common sense with respect to reciprocity with other states would also go a long way in bringing us tourists back to Nevada. I will not set foot in Nevada until I am able to defend myself and my family. If you have never been in the position of being unable to do so - trust me - I have that T shirt.

Training should not be forced upon those wanting a CCW permit in Nevada - at least not that it be taken IN NEVADA. I have more training than many of the trainers yet if I want a Nevada permit I am going to have to make a special trip, take a training course witha revolver and with the handguns that I wish to carry (that changes every couple of years, no?).... etc.

Arizona is happy to take my permits from any state that requires an NRA live fire course or other proof of suitable training. I am IPSC black badge qualified for competition, etc., etc. So what is the point of having to come all the way to Nevada to take training if I am already trained and am a just and upright citizen and on the square?

Lots of changes that need to be thought about. Las Vegas is slowly making its way up the list of the country's most violent cities.

Good luck in 2011 - I sincerely hope that you can make some headway with legislature to make CCW more sensible.

I cannot disagree with your thoughts.

However, you CAN open carry in Nevada. Recommended? Perhaps NOT in all places/situations. Although legal in most places, including casinos, banks, etc, many such places frown (severely) on it and will ask you to leave.

Again, I understand your thoughts on the subject!

Our biggest stumbling block to wider CCW recognition is the Nevada Sheriffs & Chiefs Ass'n.

Note: Nevada does NOT have reciprocity. We DO have a system in place to recognize other states CCW permits IF the states requirements are equal to, or more stringent, than Nevada's requirements. Our legislature has given the NSCA final approval authority.

We're working on that. But it ain't fast and it ain't necessarily easy!
