Nevada Now Honors Oregon. . . . Texas and Tennessee Updates

Gary Slider · Jun 24, 2017

Nevada has added Oregon to the list of states it will honor. This is the first time Handgunlaw.us can remember when Nevada added a state/s and never removed a state or states from their listing. Things have changed in Nevada on how they honor other states and took local Law Enforcement out of deciding which states Nevada would honor. You can see the listing at

Beginning September 1, 2017 Texas will reduce the cost of obtaining a permit from $140 to $40. It will also reduce renewals to $40.

Starting July 1, 2017 Tennessee will recognize a protective order as a carry permit for 60 days immediately following issuance of the order of protection.

Tennessee has also strengthened its Preemption Law that goes into effect July 1 which lets those adversely affected by a local ordinance seek relief and recover costs. It also prohibits restricting firearms on County/City Public Buildings/Property unless certain conditions are met to keep firearms off the property.

All well and good, but Tennessee has not removed the criminal prosecution that could result from a person entering a PUBLIC business with a firearm if that business has a posted "no gun" sign. EG: Gun free zone.

Yeah, yeah, their business, their rules I know, except, "My Constitution, my rights." It is PUBLIC buildings I am speaking of. If a proprietor sees a gun and asks one to leave, that is their right and if the person refuses, a charge of trespassing can and should be levied, not a criminal misdemeanor for having the gun on his property.

Has the proprietor done anything to protect his customers? Not usually.

It would be nice if Oregon returned the favor. Looks like a bill to allow this cleared the OR House handily in 2005 but failed in Senate.

At least OR is consistent; they don't recognize any state's permit

Nevada's kinda weird. They didn't honor Arizona permits for a long while either, though I think they do now. AZ doesn't use a minimized training system-- it's an eight-hour class with a test at the end that covers legalities, and then there's a demonstration of basic shooting ability by the applicant, and there's fingerprints sent off to the FBI (I think) for a background check. Does NV require a college degree in gunology for their own permits or something?

That's right for AZ, class plus fingerprints. I got my non-res AZ permit as, for now, it's recognized by WY where, if life treats me kindly, I hope to visit and hunt there.

No, your description sounds like exactly what NV does. 8 hours for initial/4 for renewal, covering safety, terminology, simple scenarios, written test only the first time, short live shooting, done. Then go to sheriff, do fingerprints and paperwork. Can qualify with other states at the same time, typically UT at minimum.
