Travel to Nevada while carrying

[anothergunnut]

In NV, you can carry a loaded handgun in your car, concealed or not, it just can't be on your person (or a backpack or similar satchel that you would carry) concealed.

I'm in Reno a lot (not the strip) and have never seen a person open carry. It is apparently common in Pahrump because of Front Sight.

I'm also in Reno and other area's of Northern NV a lot. I see a fair number of people open carry. About the same in the Reno area, just Reno's population is much larger. Most everyone I know or meet all carry loaded in the car/truck and/or concealed. Open carry is cool, but makes you a target.

Training was in CA, dunno the specifics about it though. Maybe the trainer had a NV address?

At one time you could get the training in California and do the paperwork in Nevada. I believe that's changed, and you must apply in the Nevada county in which you did your taining.

I have a CA carry permit and utah license but sadly no nevada. When traveling to nevada if I wear my gun OWB im good to go right as long as I stay out of school zones? Does a suit jacket or coat make it concealed? It is a bit hard to carry in just a tucked in t-shirt in the winter.

You can not legally carry while on/in any Gov owned/operated buildings/property, school/university property, and a child care facility.

If your jacket/shirt/etc is covering it, then it is considered concealed.
Carrying a concealed handgun without a valid permit is a felony.

It is legal to have a loaded handgun in your vehicle, as long as it is not "concealed upon your person". Having a valid carry permit exempts you from this.
"Concealed upon your person" includes being in an unlocked portable container (bag, case, purse, etc).

The penal code is vague in california terms but clear in free state person terms. If it is visible it is open carry. There is not a definition of what having the holster iwb amd with the grip showing means but that is plainly open carry in my mind.

When traveling through NV, I would really do your research and determine what county your final destination resides. Some counties are gun friendly while others are not. Also, I would also void open carrying in any Indian territory or land. Often times they have their own set of rules and, according to a park ranger at the Washoe Shooting Range, they can confiscate your guns (regardless if they are in your car or on your person) if you violate any of their ordinances.
