Thanks!
Now that my Utah permit is worthless there, what's the next best option?
I travel to & spend a night or two there once a month for business. I don't really need to carry there, but I want to legally be able to have it in my car when travelling to & from. I'd like to have a valid permit just to make sure I don't screw up & forget to lock the gun up>

I carried in Vegas this past weekend. I figured few cops would know about the UT permit no longer being accepted and I really only had it on me while walking between my car and hotel room. I did have a tire blowout in the middle of the desert near Searchlight and a NV statie stopped to see if we had enough water. I had my P239 in the door pocket and he didn't ask about it.

John,

I have only an Az CCW. We're traveling to Idaho around Christmas and going through NV. I know my CCW doesn't hold, but am I ok if I have the gun locked up in the vehicle? How can I be legal with the gun in the car (obviously not on me)? Thanks!

Long as it's legal at your "final destination"you can drive through any state,just make sure it's secured if going through a state that doesn't recognize your CCW.

nevada is an open carry state

Thanks!

I moved here from Nevada,
You can carry a loaded firearm(Handgun) within your vehicle in Nevada as long as it is not within your immediate control. This means if it is in a holster, in your glovebox you are fine. It cannot be on your hip or next to you between the seats unless you have a valid CCw for Nevada. You cannot however carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in the vehicle. Having rounds in the magazine but not in the chamber does not render a firearm loaded per NRS, but I would not want to push it and may just carry a rifle with the loaded magazine removed.

All of this can be found and verified at http://www.leg.state.nv.us/Nrs/

John, I already hold an AZ CCW, thanks to you and your class, how would I obtain a NV permit?

Not too sure, I believe you have to go to Nevada for the class.

Here is thier info page: http://www.lvmpd.com/permits/firearms_concealed.html

Thanks for the info. John!

I need to go to Nevada then and get their permit too. I like driving to Vegas.

FYI on NV CCW limitations. You have to list the specific gun you plan to carry on your permit with the exception of revolvers. If you can qualify with a revolver then you can carry any revolver make and model.

Are there any sheriffs who are more lenient for the out of state permits than the las vegas area?

There is no "out of state" Nevada permit. You go, take a class, send in the forms, get the permit.

It's better to do it outside of Clark County (Las Vegas area) solely because you don't have to list the specific guns (incl serial numbers) you want to carry, as I hear Clark does. I could be wrong, but outside, just the make/model (i.e. Glock 19)
