I got mine several years ago in Reno. Pretty much a three day process, drive up one day, take an 8 hour class (includeing qualitication) on the second day, go to the sheriff's office on the third day and drive home. In NV you need to qualify with each gun that you want on your permit, not sure if there is a limit, but there is room for 18 guns on the back of the permit. On your certificate the instructer will put the make, model and Cal. of what you qualified with, that's all the info that the sheriff needs, unless it's in Clark Co. Qualification consists of 30 rounds (five reloads of six rounds each), if you have a wheel gun that only takes five rounds then it is 25 rounds,(five reloads of five rounds eacy). You shoot at a full sillouette target at 25 feet and you need a score of 210 for 30 rounds, you can almost do that with your eyes closed. One thing that you need to be aware of in the Reno area, there are no inside ranges, all qualification is done on open land in the hills, time it so the weather is nice. Most instructers in NV can give you the paper work for UT and FL at the same time. You can get extra fingerprint cards from the SO that you can send in with UT and FL paperwork. It takes between 60-90 days to get the permit. The SO's office in Reno is fairly busy and you could be waiting a long time, but there is a Mt. Rose substation near North Shore that is pretty much in and out.
Clark Co. is a bit different, I think that you still need to register all of your guns prior to taking the class so you would need to get there early enough the day before the class to get them registered.
