If Owen's scenario happened here in Nevada, there likely wouldn't be a deadly weapon enhancement to this robbery (I doubt hands would fall under our definition of "deadly weapon"), but if the victim was 60 years or over, there is a seperate 1 to 20 year criminal sentence enhancement for robbing...

Nevada has an enhanced penalty for use of a "deadly weapon" during the commission of a crime. I imagine other states have similar provisions. See http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-193.html#NRS193Sec165 To answer the OP's question, it's going to depend on what your state law says. If it...

"That "kid" is a lot older than you would think from the photos." Nevertheless, she looks underage. Why use a double-entendre on someone who admittedly looks so young?

Sorry, but as a mom I don't like any of these images. You need a parent's face in image #1 and lose the two extra mags. (I'm not packing 45 rounds in my kitchen every day to stop a BG that might break in.) No "bra-size" play on words with an underage model please. It's creepy. (I'd...

Tennis elbow is evil. One thing that helped was to buy an elbow strap that fits tightly on your forearm an inch or so below the elbow. The best ones had kind of pillow thing that actually compressed the side of your forearm in the spot needed to alleviate the wear and tear from repetitive...

The Joe Foss incident occurred in Phoenix, not Vegas.

bearmgc, You're right. If the gun was unloaded and no ammo was found, who cares? I feel for the guy, it was likely just a totally stupid oversight. But it's a C class felony here to be popped with a concealed carry weapon and no permit. (Though who knows how this will end up since...

Latest news says the gun was registered to him. If he had a "blue card" (our registration card system here in Clark County) then it was real -- the cops here aren't gonna register a fake gun under our firearm ordinance. Say what you want about the TSA generally, but since Frontsight and...

County ordinances for Clark County Nevada are at this link: http://ordlink.com/codes/clarknv/index.htm Go to Title 12 for the firearm provisions. My understanding is that the discharge of firearm provisions were NOT pre-empted. Could be wrong on this, but the updated ordinances are at...

Gunnerpalace, Our state legislature here in NV only meets for about 4 month during every odd-numbered year. The earliest time frame for making a change to our state law wouldn’t even start until February ’09, unfortunately.

I don't get the plastic "spork" reference. It's supposed to refer to a university setting -- not KFC, right? Even at state college we had real stainless silverware in the school cafeteria. ;) Blurred model looks a little too "emo" in that outfit, IMO. But it's still a GREAT message...

dscottw, Don't forget to comply with Clark County's "Blue Card" registration requirement once you get your handgun . . .:barf:

You can look up Nevada’s state firearms laws within NRS Chapter 202, specifically NRS 202.253 et seq. (Go to http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-202.html - NRS202Sec253) You can locate the local laws for Clark County, City of Las Vegas, City of Henderson, etc. at...

I encounter many LEOs through my job. One afternoon a couple of months ago, one LEO overheard me talking about going to the range, and he confronted me about carrying ... :uhoh: Or, I should say, about NOT carrying! :eek: He ended up giving me a friendly lecture about the ease of...

Great to see another mom on this board! A lot of enthusiasm here for the 9mm Kahr -- my two cents is to "try before you buy" this one. My better half carries one, but to me, shooting it is like a firecracker going off in my hand. Not comfortable at all. Try a Glock 19 or 26. I love my...
