Nevada Reciprocity?

[wdlsguy]

Anybody know why Texas wasn't included?

Anybody know why Texas wasn't included?

Don't expect any rhyme or reason behind reciprocity agreements. Texas has consistently refused to give Ohio licenses any credence (while most other states do). Instead, Texas consistently gives reciprocity to states that don't accept it's license. Even may-issue states like Rhode Island.
Texas'll probably get recognized in the next year or so.

 

[glockman19]

But will NV be honoring Utah non res?

YES there is NO distinction between the Resident & Non-resident Utah permit in NV.

 

[Bruce333]

Doesn't look like NC will be recognized anytime soon if this is the criteria they are using.

...reviewed the laws from other states. It found 16 other states that had an electronic database accessible 24 hours a day that identifies valid permit holders. Of those 16, only eight had concealed carry permit laws that were as stringent or more stringent than Nevada

 

[Elm Creek Smith]

Oklahoma's not on the list. Hmm.

Good, I can keep my UT permit and I dont have to renew my NV permit.

What about carrying in Clark county though, where you are required to have a blue card? Is this waved for out of staters???

 

[dav]

I've just been reading the actual legislation. No mention of resident vs. non-resident for those out of state permits. So my Utah non-res is good to go.

I did not find anything about the Clark County blue cards, but since that is a "grandfathered" law, and the state has pre-emption, I would think this new rule would negate the blue card for non-Nevada permits.

Here is the legal stuff: New Rules (oh, seems to start on page 3149)

Then, reading further on down, I found this totally un-American rule:

5. If the sheriff receives notification submitted by a court or law enforcement agency of this or any other state, the United States or a territory or possession of the United States that a permittee or an applicant for a permit has been charged with a crime involving the use or threatened use of force or violence, the conviction for which would require the revocation of a permit or preclude the issuance of a permit to the applicant pursuant to this section, the sheriff shall suspend the person’s permit or the processing of his application until the final disposition of the charges against him.

In other words, "guilty until proven innocent"!

i hope so, but i also believe that since Clark County is like 1/3 of the state, id think that law hasn't changed as of yet.

to be certain, i'd just go get a blue card for my favorite carry guns and stay 100% legal. no point in being able to legally carry and then get pinched for some county ordinance because you didn't blue card your gun with Metro.

i have some guns blue carded with Metro and when i go to Vegas ill be sure to carry those guns if i dont want to go and register any more. for those who want to go to Metro and blue card your handguns, there is a station on the south side of the Vegas Strip (on the west side), i think it is the Sunset Station or something if my memory serves me right.

Thanks, Spreadfire Arms.

Better safe than busted...

You will still be required to register yoru guns and get a Blue Card issued with in 24 hours of arriving in Clark County. Just go to any PD, complete the paperwork let them register your gun(s) and you're good to go. Believe it of not LVMPD closes @ 8:00 pm m-F & 6:00 Saturday. Yes they actually close.

 

[denfoote]

You would think Arizona would be on the list considering we are right next door!!

 

[RockyMtnTactical]

I would have guessed that AZ would have qualified as well....

I wonder if they might consider to allow other states in the near future.

Still, this is great news. I've been waiting for this for a while... errr... since I moved from Nevada to Utah. And now I won't have to renew my NV permit.

 

[Buck Nekkid]

For COMPLETE information on the effect of recent legislation in Nevada, go to SECTION 11, the definitive authority on Nevada firearms regulations.

Regarding the "blue card", until the Clark County Commission complies with the provisions of S.B. 92 or 1/1/08, whichever comes first, you will still have 24 hours to register your handgun. After 1/1/08 or the CCC amends its ordinances, you'll have 30 days to register your handgun if you are a new arrival and 72 hours to register a newly acquired handgun if you are a resident.

 

[glockman19]

It's Official - Just posted

Nowhere does it say anything in the legislation, posted release or any other that it is only for resident permits. There is NO distinction made between Resident & Non-Resident permits. I will carry confidently in Nevada begining next week. Also Blue Card requirements have changed as of 10/01/2007

So if I read the law correctly, if I head to Vegas for the weekend with my Utah CCP, I should be alright without having to register my handgun.

That makes a lot more sense, than having to run down to the police station and register a gun for a weekend, or business trip to Vegas.

Great info Glockman, thanks for putting it on the thread.

 

[glockman19]

My pleasure,

I hope many benefit from it.

ok guys ive posted this before in some other THR threads, i think it isn't too off topic so remember this: most, if not all, casino security personnel don't care if you are legally carrying. they will ask you to leave their premises if they know you are packing, and if you refuse, you'll be arrested for trespassing.

i know this because i used to work casino security in Las Vegas at the MGM. as you all know, MGM/Mandalay Bay merged and so they own like 40% of the strip (MGM, Mirage, Treasure Island, New York New York, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, Bellagio, etc).

their policy, even if someone was carrying lawfully, was to order that person to vacate the premises with the weapon (i.e. take the gun off property and then you can come back into the casino). if you refuse they will tell you to leave or be arrested for trespassing. if you refuse to leave they will arrest you for trespassing and then im sure Metro may confiscate your carry permit.

also be noted that the casinos' property extends out onto the sidewalk in front of the place. yes, the sidewalk is their property too and you can be arrested for trespassing on their property when you think you're on a public sidewalk.

just a word of caution - when you pack in the casinos, keep it on the down low, even if you have a permit. casino security doesn't recognize your permit!

Cool.

I'm in the Eldorado National Forest (that's in Cali) for several days.

With this event, I'm going to stop by the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe next week since I have a Utah permit.

Printed the official web page in case:

Maybe look for the 'Smoking Aces' suite near Stateline.

 

[doncol]

I just spoke with a gentleman in the concealed firearms department of the LVMPD and he said that you still have to register your firearm in Clark County. He also mentioned that it is highly advisable to look at each city ordinance for the possession of a concealed handgun as they are all different. He mentioned North Las Vegas specifically as being a pain in the rear.

Here is the number if anyone wants to contact them. 702-828-3996

Nitrogen
As a working Deputy Sheriff in the adjoined county (Nye Co) I needed
a blue card registration to have a carry gun listing Make, model, ser#, and
barrel length. However, the card did not permit concealed carry. I would
venture to guess that very few outside of Clark County were issued a carry
permit!:banghead:

 

[Skirmisher]

That sure was a short list. Michigan recognises NV, but they won't recognise MI.

 

[gunsmith]

The newspapaers are reporting

that ALL revolvers can be carried if you have a revolver on your permit ...but my permit has only "sp101" on it, it doesn't say revolver.
This is going to be a problem?

 

[wdlsguy]

That sure was a short list.

Sure is. Hopefully that list can be expanded in the future.

Michigan recognises NV, but they won't recognise MI.

Likewise, Texas recognizes Nevada, but Nevada doesn't recognize Texas. :banghead:

I went to Nevada to support the state's new CCW recognition. It was a drop in the ocean, but, I spent money that would not have been spent there before.

Drove up the east side of Lake Tahoe, took Hwy 28 to Incline Village on the north side of the lake. Bought some clothes, food, etc.

Beautiful city, BTW. All of what South Lake Tahoe wants to be. (The California area next to the Nevada border and casinos on the south side of the lake.) Pleasant, quiet parks right on the lake, in a National Forest.

I encourage all Californians who want to visit Lake Tahoe to get a Utah permit and stay on the Nevada side.

As you drive past the Marriott, Embassy Suites and shops on the Cali side, stop and mention that "Cecil's" has messed up things for everyone and you are not patronizing.

I saw the only "No Firearms" sign I've ever seen on a private business in Cali at Cecil's General Store and restaurant near the Marriott.

After some thought, I realized, that was great news. It meant local counties are so close to "Shall Issue" that unthinking anti-gunners have their shorts bunched up.

If you can't get a Cali CCW permit, go another fifty feet into Nevada and stay in the casino hotels or head up to the northeast side.

A Public Announcement: I did not see a suite at the Montbleu Hotel that could have been the "Smoking Aces" suite where 'Aces' stayed.

I could see that the Montbleu is where assassin with the .50 BMG was, and that the Horizon Hotel is right across the street. But, all the rooms faced away from the Horizon.

Still, I donated $10 to the slots there.

 

[harrygunner]

Nevada's new CCW laws could be used to put some heat on Cali's elitist leaders.

I'm hoping people visit the Nevada side while giving notice to Cali businesses why they were bypassed.

As incentive, here's a couple of photos of Lake Tahoe from the Nevada side.
