Handgun Carry for Non-resident in Nevada

[signal5delta]

My son lives in Nevada and I was wondering when I visit him there are hiking trails near where he is,Monden,Gardnerville could I carry my handgun on the trails without any hassles.
Can anyone school me on what a non-resident of Nevada rights to carry. I wonder if the laws for a non resident are different when it comes to carrying a handgun in your vehicle than a resident. Thanks guys.

You can LOC on your person in or out of the vehicle. Just don't go to a police station, airport, courthouse.. blah blah blah with that..

Don't conceal unless you have a permit.

Pretty sure you can open carry, loaded or not in NV but you cannot conceal without a permit from either NV or a reciprocating state like AZ.

You can get a non-resident LTC from NV that will allow you to concealed carry. Or go the cheaper route and get your AZ non-resident LTC, which has reciprocity in NV.

AZ permit costs only $60, plus the cost of getting 2 fingerprint cards rolled ($10 at my local sheriff sub-station). They also require an approved training course, but the requirement can be met with the NRA basic handgun course. The permit is valid for 5 years.

I live in Nor Cal, but travel to Reno and Tahoe occasionally. For the cost, the Arizona permit is the way to go.

LOC is GTG. or like the others said gitchu a non res LTC from AZ. That's pretty much the easiest.

Does Nevada reciprocate with the Florida or Utah permits?

No, they don't, and reciprocity with AZ is new, as of 7/1/2011.

EDIT: See link for NV Dept of Public Safety for reciprocity info: http://nvrepository.state.nv.us/ccw_changes.shtml

AZ carry permit took me probably around a month from ordering the packet to getting the license in the mail. They took my OR permit in place of the training requirement, which made things super simple. You can contact them via email to ask about using other state permits in place of training. They are surprisingly prompt and courteous for a government run operation (or perhaps I am just used to California gov mediocrity). Getting the AZ permit would be my recommendation for NV carry.

AZ took my FL permit in lieu of training requirement and, for me, it took about a month from making a web request @ AZ to receiving the permit by mail.

Okay, you know, of course, that you cannot make a statement like this and not post a link, right?

Please?

They actually answer their phone if you have any questions.

I got mine in less than one month from initial contact to receipt of LTC.

Used my Florida LTC.

I got my NV CWP (concealed weapon permit) after my last class out at Frontsight. Easy to do, but you have to go to the Sheriff's office in person to pick it up once it is ready.

LOC is fine in Nevada...we went through the statutes in detail in the CPW class. In fact, I was surprised to find that you can LOC on the Vegas strip! Now, if you do, Metro is going to pick you up...but it will be for causing a public nuisance, not for packing heat.

Although you can save money by getting a LTC from Arizona that is valid in Nevada, it is my understanding that you still run into the Federal Gun Free School Zone as Reciprocity agreements between states do not exempt those LTC persons from the Federal Gun Free School Zone. Only those with using an LTC for the state they are carrying in are exempt from the Federal Gun Free School Zone.

GFSZ WIKI AND ATF LETTER

I have found this topic on several other forums but the Wiki has a supposed copy of a letter from ATF. If anyone else knows where we can find an official copy of the letter or ruling, please post.

IMO, if you are primarily going to travel to Nevada to visit your son, pay the extra money for the NV LTC so that you do not run into any GFSZ issues.

EDIT: Looked up 18 U.S.C. 922. It's states that the exemption from GFSZ is for LTC's being used in state they were issued.

Has any person with an out of state LTC that has a reciprocity agreement ever been charged under the federal GFSZ law while otherwise lawfully carrying?
