Open Carry:
Unrestricted under state law; cities such as North Las Vegas regulate this aspect.

  • Hrmarty

    Good info for ccw

  • Kelly

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

    • timf10

      Nevada permit is good with any type you qualified on i.e. revolver or semi-auto. Used to have to list each semi you wanted to carry, not any more.

  • 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.

          • marymarymarymary

          • milehisnk

            Reagan wasn’t president in 1968…How did he sign the 1968 GCA into law?

            No, he signed the 1986 FOPA into law. It included an amendment that was defeated, but democrats attached to it anyways, claiming it passed on a voice vote. The FOPA otherwise was a good bill that set the standards for interstate transport laws and such, but the democrats attaching the machine gun ban screwed it up.

          • George

            The ’68 Gun Control law was signed into law by Lyndon Johnson. Just FYI… :)

        • marymarymarymary

          Got that right. Wake up will be when it is too late.

      • marymarymarymary

        You have no idea that the UN is right now –in Sept. 2012 trying to force us to give up our guns and deny our second Amendment right to bear arms? Oh YES—Hillary under the direction of 0′b! THEY ARE COMING! Do you live under a rock? ummm– LETS SEE NOW—THEY ARE democrats! Better be hoping that you will always be able to carry——-it will depend on your vote. DO CHECK OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE UN. Dictating to us, against our rights. Wake up.

      • Mudpuppy

        Do you feel as big an idiot as you look, now that BHO has said he is coming after the guns? Thank God your name is not Miss Cloe

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/John-Whittington/100001496682673 John Whittington

        If you don’t belive the NRA then how about NAGR ( that’s – National Association of Gun Rights.) They will give you the actual bill so you can see for your self!

      • ratchetmaster

        guess you have been proven WRONG!!

        Oh really? How’s that working out now…

    • JT

      Sec. 512 of P.L. 111-24 (CREDIT CARD ACCOUNTABILITY RESPONSIBILITY AND DISCLOSURE ACT OF 2009) lifted the 94 year ban on firearms in national parks.
      Sponsered byRep. Carolyn Maloney [D-NY14] and signed by Barrack Obama
      That’s an expansion of gun rights. Obama has not said nor done, nor proposed anything restricting gun ownership or use.

      • marymarymarymary

        Is he stopping the UN from dictating to us? Dictating that we give up our second Amendment right? NO—he has sent Hillary to sell us out.

    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.

  • Kartua28

    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!!!

    • JT

      Having served in the US Navy for 6 years, that is a terrible idea. You know how many dishonest people join the military? You know how many thieves, rapists, and murderers we have? I myself was a victim of theft from another sailor. I know a couple other guys who had money stolen from them from active duty sailors. Just because you serve, doesn’t mean you are a good person. There are very little restrictions to get in the military. No major felonies, get a minimum score on the ASVAB, don’t have any major health complications or handicaps, and be able to pass a drug test.

      I only want sane, competent, responsible, and honest people who can actually shoot, to be able to own guns. You pass a safety course, a range test, and an easy psychology exam, and there you go, you can have the type of gun that your proved capable of handling.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/John-Whittington/100001496682673 John Whittington

        You’re exaggerating. I was in the service during Viet Nam and even though they were still drafting men they still had to learn to shoot and if they lived, came back home a better man!

      • Reporter?

        JT – FL still does the background check; don’t make so many assumptions and then make ridiculous statements about how everyone else’s ideas are terrible and yours are brilliant.
        And from the context of all of your comments, it sounds like you need to move to another country that is NOT governed by the U.S. Constitution. Seriously, move to the U.K. please. Our founding fathers fought hard for independence from England and you are trying to pull us back in! And BTW, I’m a 24 year Navy vet myself.

    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!!!

    My permit lasts till 02-27-13, what I want to know is when can I renew my permit?

    • timf10

      Go renew it sometime in February. If you do it earlier, it will be due 5 years from then.

      • http://profile.yahoo.com/2S3LIHO43RJ2IDPKCMJY4AKUEE kartua

        Thanks.

  • BOOMER8

    why do you need a permit to exercise a Constitutionally secured right?
    And don’t use the term “regulated”, that means trained according to the nomenclature of the 2nd amendment.

    • JT

      If you are not capable of handling a firearm responsibly, why do you own a firearm in the first place?

      I do not want crazies with guns. I do not want felons with guns. I do not want people who can’t shoot to own guns. Let me add information to that last one. Lets say I’m at a 7/11. A guy busts in quick, grabs me from behind, puts a gun to my head, and tells the cashier to give him money or he shoots me. The cashier, happens to be carry a gun, he pulls the gun, points, and shoots. Now, if the guy can’t hit the broadside of a barn, what are the odds of only hitting the thief? Seriously, if he can’t shoot accurately, I’ll take my chances with the gunman. Otherwise, the cashier might shoot me, the thief pulls a shot off quickly into my head because he panics, and returns fire at the cashier.

      A permit shows that you are educated and proved that you are capable of handling the firearm. No crazies, no felons, no would-be heroes that can’t shoot.

  • redneckinsac

    The fee for new applications has been lowered to $97.50.

  • JB

    The fingerprinting really freaks me out – does that bother any of the rest of you? Maybe I’ll just open carry, cuz I don’t really want to give the FBI my prints, and apparently NV shares the prints with the FBI.

    • JT

      Why are you freaked out?
      Have you committed a crime?
      Are you very lax with your guns, leaving them out in the open, never locking them up when not in use?

      If you’re a law abiding citizen, who owns a gun legally, and is a responsible gun owner, you have nothing to worry about.

      • Dco

        Those cameras they are putting up all over can’t possibly bother you, can they? You don’t mind the random searches of your person that police are going to be allowed to perform like they do in NYC, do you? You aren’t breaking any laws are you? Then you have nothing to worry about. Let the government steal away your privacy and individual dignity; because you have nothing to hide, right? You are naive at best, JT. The government shouldn’t be able to take away other rights because they are “allowing” us to have the right to bear arms. They can’t allow us to have a right. We’re born with it. The 2nd Amendment keeps them from taking a natural born right from us. Wake up you slaves. JB is on the right track.

  • reggie

    Really, I cannot think of one law that has been passed in the past 4 years affecting anyone’s gun rights.

  • nnv ccw

    Can I conceal carry in a bar or casino in Reno if I have my permit for the intended purpose.? Does it matter if it is posted not to even ccw people?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/John-Whittington/100001496682673 John Whittington

      If there is a sign that says no firearms you can not enter any business. BUT there has to be a sign in every door window or otherwise you could’ve came through a door that had no sign! C.C.W. holder for Nevada!

  • Reporter?

    NV no longer requires you to qualify on each individual handgun you will carry concealed, you now only qualify in the class of handgun; semi-auto or revolver. Much more reasonable.

  • bst49

    Try living in California and see the panic at the gun shows and firearm stores. Ammunition is extremely diffiicult to get. wonder why? because this Presidents administration is more interested in good people control not the criminals. According to Obama and the left wing zealots we have in politics……. We’re
    not supposed to judge all Muslims by the acts of a few “crazies”.

    >>>> But the acts of a few American “crazies” is enough to judge
    all Americans who own guns.
