Nevada Reciprocity, SB 237

[FreedomIsNotFree]

Nothing in SB237 indicates there's a difference between non-resident and resident CCW permits from other states. So, most likely the LEO at NV DPS is wrong.

EDIT: Treb5 on Calccw.com got clarification from someone higher up than the Lt. he had spoken to the other day and that higher up advised that both resident & non-resident permits will be honored.


Section 2 seems to indicate that NV residents can only carry with their NV CCW permits.

Sec. 2. 2. A person who possesses a permit to carry a concealed
firearm that was issued by a state included in the list prepared
pursuant to section 3 of this act may not carry a concealed firearm
in this State if the person:
(a) Becomes a resident of this State; and
(b) Has not been issued a permit from the sheriff of the county
in which he resides within 60 days after becoming a resident of
this State.

Thats consistent with Arizona as well. If you are a resident of that state, only that states CCW permit is valid. I believe that keeps local folks that may not have passed their state test/requirements from obtaining an out of state ccw and carrying concealed anyway.

EricCartmann,

Depending on location procedures will vary. I was speaking to teh procedure of the LVMPD jut off the strip. I passed along what they said to me. Nothing more.

that's funny, when i passed along info that was conveyed to me (from a clerk behind the counter at LV Metro) someone decided to call me ignorant and not credible.

right back atcha muah

Excuse me for correcting you:

First, while its black and white rice paper my PD at least laminated my permit.
Second, a photo was attached to my permit together with my finger print next to it.
Third, PD is manned 24/7 so anyone can check 24/7
Fourth, the permit has number like a drivers license.

Hey, no fair! I don't have my photo on mine, and they didn't laminate it either. Cheap Butte County buggers...

Sidenote: When I resided in sinful Las Vegas, the blue card let me buy handguns and long guns, cash and carry. My Dad (still lives there) says they still work that way. I would like to know if seasonal residents have that same priveledge with blue cards...anyone know?

[glockman19]

Just got back. YES you need to register your guns and recieve a "Blue Card" for each.

I arrived Friday Night and registered all four CCW guns Glock 26, Kimber Ultra & S&W 642 & 442. It took all of 15 min.

I went toe the LVMPD on Russel & Las Vegas Blvd. (the strip). NOW I can personally attest to the procedure.

I walked in with my case of unloaded firearms. I put them in a 2 way box and entered to complete the one page form with Name Address DL & Next of Kin. They did a Quick NICS search to verify they belonged to me and then issued me a laminated "Blue Card" for each gun. That was It.

If you are caught even with a valid CCW that is recognized, you will be in trouble if you do not have a "Blue Card" for the gun you are carrying, IT's not worth it.

I had a great time in Vegas, won enought money at the $1 slots to pay for my fun @ The Gun Shop firing Fully Auto Weapons. It was a lot of fun but...I would have to say, "It's like going to bed with a beautiful woman and shooting your wad in the first 2 min." It doesn't take long to fire 200 rounds...and...they are $1 a round...Expensive. Kind of anti climactic. Oh yea you can fire at a number of HUMAN picture targets including Osama Bin Laden, Black, White guys and Mario Lopez.

Glockman:

I told you that your wallet would get lighter faster than your weapon! Thank goodness the slots helped with the strain.

And just because the PD registered your guns, and even if they told you that you need to register your guns, doesn't mean that you have to register your guns. If only PD's and SO's operated the law as it is written, instead of how they wish it were written, we'd have a lot more CCW's in California.

I've mislaid it for the moment (perhaps someone else can quote the source) but last week I saw a NV State Law that had been rewritten and now says something like 'Those jurisdictions that have passed their own local laws requiring registration within a period of (typically) three days are now required to change that to require registration within 60 days." I wish I could find the source, but I visit so many sites, and nothing jumps out of my History file.

They did a Quick NICS search to verify they belonged to me

???? Nevada police can find out who owns guns? I know we have registration in Cali, but how can they do this for all gun owners, most of which have no registration requirement? Maybe they were just checking to make sure the guns hadn't been stolen?

[EBWhite]

WRONG. You do NOT need a blue card for staying in Vegas less than 60 days according to the new law that was passed.

According to SB92: If a town board in a county whose population is 400,000 or more has required by ordinance or regulation adopted before June 13, 1989, the registration of a firearm capable of being concealed, the town board shall amend such an ordinance or
regulation to require:
(a) A period of at least 60 days of residency in the town before registration of such a firearm is required.
(b) A period of at least 72 hours for the registration of a pistol by a resident of the town upon transfer of title to the pistol to the resident by purchase, gift or any other transfer

[tango-52]

The new law regarding the 60 day limit takes effect on January 1, 2008. Until then, if a local jurisdiction has some requirement about registering (i.e. the blue cards in Clark County) then you need to follow those requirements. I think that currently in Clark County, if you are there less than 24 hours, you do not need to register them.

[Quiet]

tango-52 is correct.

Along with the new changes in NV CCW, SB92 was also passed and signed into law. www.leg.state.nv.us/74th/Bills/SB/SB92_R2.pdf

SB92 was suppose to get rid of the Clark County "blue card" registration system. However, it was amended and compromised.

Under the new registration system, non-residents of Clark County have to register their handguns with LVMPD if they are staying longer than 60 days in Clark County. Residents of Clark County have 72 hours to register their handguns.

This new system goes into effect by 01-01-2008.

So, until 01-01-2008, the old "blue card" registration is still enforced in Clark County. If you are staying longer than 24 hours in Clark County you have to register your handguns.

Tango,

Thank you. I did do my homework. Wouldn't have wanted to get into any situation that was avoidable.

Either way My CCW weapons are now registered and I'm good to go under any and all circumstances. It only took me 15 min because I was registering four guns at the same time otherwise I would have been in & out in 5 min. Definately worth the 300 seconds IMHO.

[EBWhite]

glock19-

Do you have an out of state Utah CCW? Did you ask the LVMPD office if it was okay to carry with it?

YES. It's OK.

[EricCartmann]

I hope you guys don't listen to this guy glockman... he acts like he knows but he does not. when i get home I will post all my CCW permits and bluecards. He called me not reputable but I am the ones with CCW permits and bluecards.
