Not anywhere I know of. About 6 months ago I saw some tracers for sale outside of phoenix. Cali its for sure illegal.
 
Not illegal, that I can find, however, you dont want to cause a fire especially this time of year. Target shooters can be held liable for firefighting costs if they cause a fire. That does not include the civil law suit if you do start a fire and it cost someone their home.

So, not illegal, but I dont think you can shoot them at the County Range, and, It is ill advised to shoot them in BLM land due to fire risk.

Please be smart about this, I live near BLM land, and wildfires are a real risk.
 
Just found this info:
Fire restrictions prohibit the following:

Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire (using wood, charcoal or any other material), campfire, or stove fire except a portable stove using gas, jellied petroleum, or pressurized liquid fuel outside of a developed fee campground or picnic area (except by permit).

Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or at a developed campground or picnic area.

Operating vehicles or other motorized equipment off of existing paved, gravel, or dirt roads.

Welding or operating an acetylene torch with open flames, except by permit.

Using, or causing to be used, any explosive, except by permit.

Possession or use of fireworks (always prohibited) or any other incendiary device.

Use of tracer rounds, steel-core ammunition, or exploding targets, including Binary Explosive Targets while recreational shooting.

In addition, the NDF prohibits operating vehicles or equipment traveling on or using wildland areas without at least an axe, shovel and one gallon of water. The BLM, BIA and USFWS require all motor vehicles to be equipped with an operational spark arrester pursuant to 43 CFR 8343.1(c). All agencies recommend that individuals carry cell phones while in the wildlands or national forests to report wildfires.

Affected areas include the following:

BLM – all areas, roads and trails on the BLM-Carson City District outside of developed recreation sites with the exception of Sand Mountain Recreation Area, and the portion of the Walker Lake Recreation Area within 100 yards of Walker Lake, or between Walker Lake and U.S. Highway 95 where campfires are permitted.

USFS – all areas, roads, and trails within the Bridgeport Ranger District north of Highway 108 and east of Highway 395 and within the Carson Ranger District except for most of the Carson Iceberg wilderness, the southern portion of the Mt. Rose wilderness and the general Hope Valley area on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest with the exception of using campfires within the approved fire pits or grills provided in open Fee Recreation sites.

NDF – all areas, roads and trails on state lands including the following state parks: Lake Tahoe Nevada, Washoe Lake, Berlin-Ichthyosaur, Rye Patch State Recreation Area, the Carson River Ranches portion of Ft. Churchill, and Dayton in western Nevada.

BIA - Approximately 300 allotments encompassing 59,310 acres in Douglas County, Nevada, within the Carson Watershed that the U.S. Government (BIA) holds in trust for hundreds of individual Indian landowners, collectively known as the Pine Nut Allotments.

USFWS - all areas, roads and trails within the boundaries of the Stillwater, Anaho Island, and Fallon National Wildlife Refuges. Campfires are prohibited on these refuge lands year-round.
 
Not illegal to purchase or possess in our state, Nevada.

But as mentioned above, you need to be careful where you use them.
I'm a member at two private clubs, neither club allow tracers.
Nor any of the indoor ranges in town with which I'm familiar.
Pick a place where you can shoot directly into a dirt berm with no ricochet.
 
Illegal to shoot in "any grass, brush, forest or crop-covered land." NRS 476.070

Illegal to hunt with tracers. NRS 503.150

As for sale, they don't seem to be controlled. Individual cities or counties may have their own laws. As others say: it's summer, and fires start easy. Please don't start a fire and wreck it for the rest of us.
