The law says that in a county with 200,000 persons or less, you may be able to get a permit to carry openly. But your concealed carry permit allows only concealed carry.
Now about Nevada, there is no need to lock your gun up. Nevada is an open carry state, and as long as the gun is not concealed upon your person within the vehicle you are driving, then it is okay. So basically all you have to do when you cross over the state line if you do not have a Nevada permit, is remove the gun from your concealed holster and put it under the seat, or even on the seat next to you is legal, but may lead to trouble if someone driving by see's it. But yeah, same goes for open carry. It's one of those things that is legal there, but you almost never see anyone do it, and because of that, people are not used to seeing it, and the cops will most likely be harrasing you about it. And Las Vegas seems to think they are special and get to make their own gun laws. I personally think everyone should start walking around open carrying again so that people get used to it and don't have such a cow about the sight of a gun. That's a huge part of what happened to this country. Gradually the practice of carrying a gun on your hip everywhere you went just kind of faded away back in the early 1900's or something, and now people get all weird about them.
