CCW looking up in NV
My family and I were out in NV this past weekend (Mustang Range to be exact) and struck a conversation with a NV CFP (Concealed Firearm Permit) Instructor. He said that the new rules are similar to the old rules in Clark County, except if you have an NV CFP the sheriff will escort you (now without cuffs) to the station where you register your weapons (same list as on the CFP), have the one(s) you are currently toting inspected and returned to you and then you are on your way. Or if you are inclined, you can up front register as you enter Clark. The main news is that you are no longer arrested first. This apparently goes for all southern counties as well, as reciprocity with Arizona started Friday 09-28-07. The AZ folks don’t have to unload and lock up when crossing into NV any longer. The following article does run a bit contrary to the CFP Instructor as AZ isn’t listed - but the best bet is to get the NV permit. It is a fun weekend event and within reasonable costs if you visit even once in a while. There are hundreds of instructors and some are under 100 for the 6-8 hours of class and qualification.
Taken verbatim from the Reno Gazette-Journal 8 states' concealed gun permits valid here Thu, Sep 27, 2007.
Beginning Oct. 1, the state of Nevada will recognize permits from eight other states that allow people to carry concealed weapons, the Nevada Department of Public Safety announced.
Those states are Alaska, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Tennessee and Utah.
The 2007 Nevada Legislature passed a law that allowed concealed carry permits from other states to be used in Nevada. The Department of Public Safety, with the help of the Nevada Sheriffs and Chiefs Association, 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, the Department of Public Safety said.
It will review the list of approved states every year, the Department of Public Safety said.
A CA state wide electronic db and a central issue would get us a lot of milage. Will it be in our future? Would be nice.
