Going to Henderson and Las Vegas in a few weeks, wondering what the laws are for a CA resident to open carry in NV? Anyone have experience?

No OC in "cat" houses. Bring only your "issued gun", carried concealed!

I've OCed in both NV and AZ. Great experiences. Nevada has the better laws (or rather lack there of
)
False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.

Just don't open carry on the strip or into any resorts / casinos. I CCW there without a problem (I guess I've never been 'made'), but I've heard stories about OC there...People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

Got some great advice from VegasND. Also spoke with Henderson PD. Loaded handgun is ok in the glovebox. He STRONGLY advised against OC. He said if someone sees me, it'll get called in. He said no one in Henderson walks around OC. Asked why I would want to. I said "Because it's legal". He didn't say whether or not I'd get taked in, but he said someone would definitely point me out. Said also in North LV and Boulder city for sure would get arrested for OC.Comment

PM bobcav http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum36/ he is in the Reno area and OCs nearly 24/7.False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction.

Just because you can legally doesn't mean you HAVE to. I'm in Henderson (Green Valley) all the time and have never seen anyone OC. For the most part, Henderson is pretty quiet.____________________________________

I don't understand why anyone would want to draw that kind of attention to themselves. CCW I understand, but open carry I just don't get.

This is one of those "either you get it or you don't" mindset circumstances...
Let me give you an example:
Two days ago, my wife, a friend, and I went to breakfast in Wickenburg, AZ. We walked into the restaurant, my pistol was legally concealed and there was no way to know how many other people also concealed carry.
A minute later two men walked in and sat down, I noticed they were open carrying-very common in Arizona-but I don't know if anyone else noticed because there was no reaction from anyone. A bit later, another man and the woman with him got up to leave and he was also wearing a pistol.
This is the disconnect you and many others seem to have. There was no attention drawn to them. They didn't walk in an yell 'hey,y'all look, I'm armed!' Nobody reacted to them at all because there was nothing to react to. Nobody appeared to notice or care. Not a single person asked, complained, or even remarked on it.
It was just some people exercising a right and it was of no interest to others because they are used to it.
Living in places where rights are restricted gives the mindset to many that those restrictions are normal.People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.
