Nevada and Utah CCW question

[lvcat2004]

I live in Nevada and currenty possess a NV CCW.

I'm about to send in my Utah CCW application that allows me to carry in more states.

My question is whether I can carry other weapons that are NOT listed on my NV CCW since Utah would cover all my weapons since they are not weapon specific.

I know I know....I just need to get rest of my guns qualifed and added on, but I was wondering if I can get away with my Utah CCW.

That is interesting that the NV law presumes that your guns are 'unqualified'... I would also presume that NV state resident permit trumps your UT non-resident permit in NV.

I don't know of any statutes that say if detained and questioned about your CCW that you have to give your NV CCW (if you're a NV resident), there is no "trump" law.

Getting a Utah CCW only wouldn't be a bad idea. It's cheaper and renewal can be done by mail, no retaking the firearm course or anything, plus you can carry more guns. You can take the NV + UTAH ccw class and only send in your Utah paperwork (thus, saving you the $100.25 for NV CCW). Your NV CCW class certification may still be valid for a Utah CCW, so you could get the ccw application from the Utah CCW website, do the paperwork, let your NV ccw lapse, and carry pretty much anything concealed. Not a bad idea.

Nothing illegal about this.

As a NV resident you have to use your NV CCW permit while in NV.
So, while in NV, you can only carry what's listed on your NV CCW permit.

NRS 202.3688
2. A person who possesses a permit to carry a concealed firearm that was issued by a state included in the list prepared pursuant to NRS 202.3689 may not carry a concealed firearm in this State if the person:
(a) Becomes a resident of this State

thanks, I guess I might have to go ahead and show them that I can hit a target at 3 yards for each of my handguns....

Hmmmm... nevermind. I just discovered the law that says if you're a resident, your out of state CCW isn't valid.

NRS 202.3688 Circumstances in which holder of permit issued by another state may carry concealed firearm in this State; holder of permit issued by another state subject to same restrictions and requirements as holder of permit issued in this State.

1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, a person who possesses a permit to carry a concealed firearm that was issued by a state included in the list prepared pursuant to NRS 202.3689 may carry a concealed firearm in this State in accordance with the requirements set forth in NRS 202.3653 to 202.369, inclusive.

2. A person who possesses a permit to carry a concealed firearm that was issued by a state included in the list prepared pursuant to NRS 202.3689 may not carry a concealed firearm in this State if the person:

(a) Becomes a resident of this State; and

(b) Has not been issued a permit from the sheriff of the county in which he resides within 60 days after becoming a resident of this State.

3. A person who carries a concealed firearm pursuant to this section is subject to the same legal restrictions and requirements imposed upon a person who has been issued a permit by a sheriff in this State.

Looks like you must be a non-resident in order for them to honor your out of state ccw.
