    Good info for ccw

  • Kelly

    Is this permit good for any hand gun or do you need each gun listed?

  • sungunner

    I understand that current regulations have been changed to allow a person to qualify with a semi-suto pistol to be able to carry ANY semi-auto, and to qualify with a revolver to be able to carry ANY revolver.  The handguns you qualify with do not have to be the ones you plan to carry.  Therefore, the list of guns and serial numbers shown on the permit is now replaced with SEMI-AUTO and REVOLVER.

  • Roxx

    Can the NV non-resident permit be renewed by mail?

    • Ronkurz

      No, you must come to Nevada and take a new update class.

      • Bloomingtonhpss

         For a new Non resident permit do you need to come to Nevada for the permit?

  • Fred

    Your gun rights are always under attack by the vile Democraps. Lets vote them out of office.

    • Vegas

      See, you say that but it’s really not true. If anything, gun laws are actually getting more and more relaxed across the country.

      No offense, but don’t believe the NRA’s bs about Dems coming for your guns.

      (Full disclosure: I’m a Democrat who lives in Nevada, owns a handgun, and regularly carries it openly. Not all of us dirty liberals are afraid of guns, and more than a few of us own them ourselves. Just a little public service announcement.)

      • Steve

        Vegas, nobody’s worried about you, it’s the people you put into office we don’t trust.  Do you really believe Barack Obama is NOT out to take firearms away from law abiding citizens?  Of course, we don’t trust you either.  What with your cheesy attempt to take the focus off gun grabbing democrats and try to make it an NRA propaganda thing…

        • jl

          Steve – You do realize who’s behind the Brady campaign, right? Brady was injured during the assassination attempt on Reagan. He’s a Republican. You do realize who signed the ’68 GCA into law? St. Ronnie. The only legislation that Obama has signed into law concerning firearms has EXPANDED carry rights. LaPierre is a loon and a fool. Of course it’s NRA BS. NRA-ILA is nothing more than a front group for the industry, to increase sales.

    I would like to know if and where you change your address at?

    Planning a trip to Las Vegas driving from GA. What are the laws concerning carrying a firearm in a vehicle?

    • Vegas

      In a vehicle is fine without a permit, concealed on your person is what the permit covers.

      Just be damn sure it’s the first thing you mention if you get pulled over.

    • Smeltzer, TX Lawyer

      I’m pretty sure Vegas gave you an accurate summary of NV law, but your drive to NV involves interstate travel as well. This implicates the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA).

      Specifically, this federal law protects you in your vehicle during interstate travel without a concealed carry license, provided that the gun is unloaded and locked up in an inaccessible place, and that the gun is legal at both your point of origin (GA) and your destination (NV). Since neither GA nor NV has many restrictions on what types of firearms you can own, you’re fine. However, if you want the gun loaded and accessible during your travel, you need to make sure that each State honors your license(s) and/or doesn’t require a license, at least for possession in the vehicle (such as AZ & TX, respectively). 

      Good luck and enjoy your travels.

    Getting a Florida permit is easy if you already served in the Military of the U.S., all you need is military proof. That with the Nevada permit would take care of all the states. There are Gun Shops in Las Vegas that train you to receive Florida, Utah & Nevada CCW permits that will allow you to go into around 32 states!!!

    Vegas – public service announcement my but. Democrats have always been after your guns. Who do you think is pulling the strings of Hand Gun Control? Sarah Brady herself. A Democrap!!!
