That's what I was thinking of. Like I said, it's been a while.

Does your Nevada CCW permit allow you to carry in the casinos or is there a law against carrying in the casinos due to the alcohol sales?

 Only places restricted are "public buildings". "Public buildings" are defined by NV law [NRS 202.3673] as 'any building or office space occupied by: (1) Any component of the Nevada System of Higher Education and used for any purpose related to the System; or (2) The Federal Government, the State of Nevada or any county, city, school district or other political subdivision of the State of Nevada and used for any public purpose.' So, if it's not a "public building", you can legally carry in there. You may encounter buildings/businesses with "no weapons" signs and/or metal detectors posted at their entrances, but they have no legal weight and is a tresspassing charge if you get caught in there and refuse to leave the property. According to NV law [NRS 202.257], you can legally consume alcohol while carrying concealed. You just have to make sure your BAC is under .10.  So, keep your handgun(s) concealed [even though NV is an open carry state, walking around with an exposed handgun tends to scare the tourists, which displeases the casinos and LE] and drink responsibily while carrying in NV.

If you ever need to defend yourself or a family member, you need your wits about you. You want a clear mind and self-defense skills that are not impaired in any way. You'll want all the tactical advantage you can get. You also should consider all the ramifications of defending yourself in a civil trial following a self-defense shooting. IMHO - Indulging in any activity that causes physical or mental impairment while CCW is irresponsible. Rant off.

Same can be said for operating a motor vehicle. But, sadly millions of people drink & drive every day. I just find it interesting that NV law is more stricter on DUI (BAC 0.08) than it is while being in control of a firearm while intoxicated (BAC 0.10). I believe the NV legislature realize that a majority of citizens that carry conceal are responsible and are more lenient towards them on the matter of alcohol consumption. I also think that the law was written the way it is, in order to cover off-duty LEOs that carry and drink. My friends and I have always gone off the principle that the designated driver is also the designated CCW. But, if the law says it's okay to have a drink while carrying, then I'm not going to judge you if you do.

That is right, my instructor says you can carry in casino, but you need to concealed carry, not opened carry.  Above the message, right don't mix alcohol and gun while you are in casino. You may be revoked ccw license from LVMPD if you caught.

Even responsible LEOs can do some really stupid things while carrying and being drunk. I know one former LEO that drew his firearm and fired off several shots in the air when he was drunk. And yes, the "former" description was because of this event. I know another that drew his weapon while in a bar so he could show it to a buddy. I saw him do this. Neither of these guys would have done this while sober.

Have there been a lot of incidents with CCW holders acting irresponsible while drinking in Nevada? I think the legislature would change the law if it turned out to be a problem, I believe it has not. I personally don't drink much I on occasion have a beer or glass of wine with dinner and don't find it irresponsible to do so and drive afterwards and if it were legal in California to CCW I don't think it would be irresponsible to CCW either. Remember it is legal to Drink and drive afterwards as long as you do so within the parameters set forth in the law which is a BAC of .08 or less, I don't think having those same reasonable parameters for CCW holders is unreasonable. Why Nevada has .10 for CCW and .08 for DUI is beyond me, but I personally think its more dangerous to DUI than CCW with a BAC of .10, however I would not oppose the law to be .08 for both.
