I asked my CCW instructor about this. His theory is that every semi functions differently, so the state wants to make sure a person can handle the particular model he intend to carry. Revolvers are pretty much universal in their operation. If you can operate one you should be able to operate all of them. I have my own theory.

I believe TX does it the opposite. One Semi is needed to be qualified with to use any. Revolvers are done individually though...
 
UPDATE: AB143 is also a pro-gun CCW bill. It was introduced on the Feb 12th (after I originally put up this article). It will also prohibit newspapers and other media from printing the names of those who have CCW permits.

One other thing. The Nevada Campus Protection Act.

"On Thursday, February 17, the Nevada Sheriffs and Chiefs Association will meet to form an opinion on Bill Draft Request 742. This important legislation would enable Nevada Concealed Firearms Permit holders to carry a concealed firearm for self-defense on college campuses. State law allows each individual college or university president to determine their respective carry policies, but not one currently allows permit holders to exercise this constitutional right. Permit holders are among the most law-abiding citizens in the country and we need your Sheriff’s support for BDR 742 to remedy this injustice and restore the right to self-defense on college campuses.

Please contact your Sheriff today and urge him to support BDR 742 at the upcoming February 17th meeting and testify in support when it comes up for a hearing in the Nevada Legislature. Contact information is listed below."

For those in Las Vegas and Clark County.

It's fun to speculate on why the State of Nevada has its rules.
But the truth is much simpler than speculation.

Many decades ago, when concealed carry was fairly uncommon across America, a legislature had to be very careful when devising a concealed firearms permit statue. The Nevada legislature agreed to provide permits on a shall-issue basis under the condition that each applicant demonstrates competence on every handgun he wants to carry. For 20 years we had to qualify on EVERY handgun. Each revolver, each semi-auto pistol. And each one was listed by serial number on the back of the permit.

Four years ago the legislature agreed to start a process of loosening the requirements. But to get the votes they needed, they agreed to do it incrementally. First revolvers in the 2007 session.

Now, this year they are loosening the requirement on pistols.

Our legislature only meets every other year, on odd numbered years. So they need to craft bills that definitely will pass, or we wait two years to try again.

You can speculate all you want on what the state was thinking, but it has simply been an artifact of the legislative process.
 
I believe TX does it the opposite. One Semi is needed to be qualified with to use any. Revolvers are done individually though...

To clarify, if you qualify with a semi in TX you can carry a semi OR revolver. If you qualify with revolver you can ONLY carry a revolver.

But, this is Activism and let's try to stay on topic, myself included.

Good luck to NV on this! There seems to be a slow move in this direction in so many states. It's encouraging.
 
Thanks TR.

Now, back to business.

SB-176 aka Constitutional Carry

Take a look at NELIS: https://nelis.leg.state.nv.us/

No meetings are yet scheduled for SB-176.

Urge the cmte chair to schedule a hearing! Voice support!

D, Clark no 3
Chair, Senate Judiciary Cmte

It will take you two minutes and we can make a difference if we put
forth a small collective effort.
 
SB126 was PASSED by the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning with no amendments. It is not over, there is still some lobbying to be done as well as some other issues to be resolved, but things are looking good.

Was there legislation introduced that would restore NICS exemption for NV CFP holders?

Haven't seen that one yet. Will let you know if I find out anything about it. For the record, this is something I want done very badly as well. The state is killing me $25 at a time...
 
"Repeal the blue card"

The necessary bill to do that has been submitted to the legislature.
S.B. 176 Constitutional carry and blue card elimination.

It will be an uphill battle, if you are truly serious about getting rid of Clark County gun registration is will require a MASSIVE show of support for repeal.
This will be the bill that justifies taking a morning off from work to attend the hearing.
If you want to override the anti's and NSCA (redundant) we will have to get an overflow crowd to show up at the Las Vegas hearing room.

I would personally be very disappointed if everyone does not support both provisions of this bill.
If some of you want to support eliminating gun registration without supporting constitutional carry, that is your right.
Failure to show up at all guarantees gun registration continues.

It appears the first thing required is that we demand this bill gets a hearing, so far none has been scheduled.

SB-176 (Constitutional Carry) referred to Senate Judiciary Cmte. Perhaps this "cut/paste" list will make it easier:

Thanks RMT for the remind about nevadashooters website.

Good to visit it again!


Do you know if there any good location here in town, for registration?


I am feeling extremely unhappy with my registration experiences of the last several years, as regard the extremely low quality of personel who are assigned the registration duties.
 
Just the police substations or if you buy the gun in clark county at a gun shop they will do it.

It is a PITA to get the stupid blue cards. I have a stack of them in my wallet...
 
A.B. 143 passed the assembly judiciary committee this morning (3/11/11) WITHOUT any amendments, and with the privacy provision intact.

Kelly Kite made a statement for the record that he feels the bill does not go far enough, that we should simply issue CCW's that do not specify the type of firearm permitted.

A.B. 143 now moves to the full assembly for ratification, hopefully that will also go smoothly.

If it passes the full assembly A.B. 143 will have to be reconciled in conference with S.B. 126 before the the entire legislature can pass a final bill.

The combined bill is probably where WE will have to make ourselves heard, this is when the opposition will make their big push to kill the bill.
 
Good news !


I will continue to send e-mails to the key people uring them to continue in this sensible direction.



Thanks for doing this Thread!
 
Specific Allowance

I'm greatly encouraged by what I'm seeing in NV.

Hoping this all goes through. Keep pounding it, guys.

Then maybe we can look at some reciprocity with Idaho. Then I could carry without worrying about it when I visit my son in Reno.

(I had an interesting conversation with the Carson City sheriff when I lived there about the "any revolver, but ALL autopistols" on the permit thing. He began by supporting the "any revo/all autos" concept until I suggested that there were more differences between the handling of a S&W 686 DA and a Ruger Blackhawk SA than there were between an XD and a 1911. The loading procedures for the two revolvers is substantially different, and the cock-before-firing on the SA is a very different handling from "just pull the trigger" on a DA, while loading an XD and 1911 are just about identical, and shooting either one is "just pull the trigger," the only significant difference being the 1911 safety. He'd just never thought about it in any depth. Of course, talking the the sheriff doesn't change the law.)​

And, of course, Constitutional Carry will be awesome. Provided the Vegas influence can be overcome.

 
We may be a few years away from Constitutional carry (many of these pro-gun bills still haven't made it out of the committee) still but we are moving in the right direction as is much of the country.

SUMMARY—Revises provisions concerning the renewal of permits to carry concealed firearms. (BDR 15-1060)
FISCAL NOTE: Effect on Local Government: No.
Effect on the State: No.
~
AN ACT relating to concealed firearms; revising provisions concerning the renewal of permits to carry concealed firearms; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.
Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
1 Existing law requires a sheriff who receives an application for a permit to carry
2 a concealed firearm to conduct an investigation of the applicant to determine if the
3 applicant is eligible for a permit. (NRS 202.366) This bill additionally requires a
4 sheriff to conduct an investigation of an applicant who wishes to renew his or her
5 permit to carry a concealed firearm.

This would pave the way to reinstate the NICS exemption.

And the first hearing is Friday, April 01, 2011, 8:30 a.m.

Please send strong support!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Wednesday, March 30, Assembly Bill 282 will be heard in the Assembly Judiciary Committee at 8:00 a.m. in room 3138 of the Legislative Building in Carson City.
The hearing will also be teleconferenced to room 4401 of the Grant Sawyer State Office Building in Las Vegas.

Introduced by Assembly Speaker John Oceguera (D-16), AB 282 is a four point, pro-gun omnibus measure that would: 1) ensure that CCW permit holders’ names and addresses remain confidential; 2) revise Nevada state law to allow for the qualification of any semi-automatic firearm for the purposes of acquiring a CCW permit; 3) allow for the carrying of firearms in Nevada state parks; and 4) statutorily mandate a background investigation (which is currently being done by all Nevada sheriffs), on CCW permit renewals for the purpose of reinstating the NICS exemption for Nevada. This would ensure that permit holders do not have to go through a point-of-contact check for every firearm purchased, as long as the permit is valid.

Please contact members of the Assembly Judiciary Committee and respectfully urge their support for AB 282.

There is a way to overcome the Las Vegas influence. Nevada gives Vegas to California. Heck, the new border wouldn't have to be altered that much. In exchange, the north eastern California towns like Susanville and Portola could be given to Nevada. We could could call it an even trade.:D
 
As reported by RichardSIA on AR15.com

The hearings today were kept pretty short as they went smoothly.

A.B. 185 and A.B. 205 were "Withdrawn" AKA killed.

A.B. 282 is still alive, with some amendments offered.
CCW for 18-21 year old service members is dead, it is claimed it had too many conflicts with other laws.
State Parks and Recreation is demanding a "small" amendment to the language making it "Clear" that CCW in parks would only be for defense purposes, DUH!

Four different cop lobbies supported the bill, so long as the 18-21 service member provision is removed.

NACJ is still trying to get our names published, but again did not have the sincerity to bother showing up.
Their desired amendment is unlikely to be adopted.

Eagle Forum, and the I.A.P. lobbyist supported A.B. 282 as well.
ACLU opposed the 18-21 CCW provision, OK with defense in parks, supports the privacy provision.

(Did not catch her first name) Butler from Nevada records gave a short review of the CCW/NICS Exemption history.
She pointed out that adopting "Shall perform a background check on all renewals" does NOT guarantee that BATFE will renew Nevada's CCW NICS exemption.
Copies of the various CCW bills have been sent to the BATFE lawyers, along with a notice of the legislative deadlines, hopefully they will respond before 4/15/11.
From what I know of the BATFE requirements, they would have to suddenly change the rules for the proposed "Shall" language to not meet their previously stated standards.
If A.B. 282 passes we should get our NICS exemption back.
I personally find it distasteful the the Nevada legislature must confer with this Fed. agency in any way to pass Nevada legislation.

There was no organized opposition to A.B. 282 presented at this hearing.

S.B. 126 was also heard today.

Support was overwhelming, the same lobbyist support it as supported A.B. 282.
The author, senator Settlemeyer, turned down combining S.B. 126 with A.B. 282.
This is a tactical move, if something happens to A.B. 282 his bill may still pass separately.

I was pleased to see greater participation from Las Vegas, four people spoke in support of A.B. 282, two stayed to support S.B 126.

There was no opposition to S.B 126.

Note about AB185 and AB205 that died:

AB282 includes most everything found in AB185 and AB205, plus some extra things, so passage of AB282 provides more than 185 and 205 together.
 
On April 15, AB 282 and AB 321 were unanimously passed in the Assembly Judiciary Committee. Both bills are now on their way to the Assembly floor and could be heard as early as TODAY, April 25.



Assembly Bill 282, sponsored by Assembly Speaker John Oceguera (D-16), is a four point pro-gun omnibus measure that would: 1) ensure that CCW permit holders’ names and addresses remain confidential; 2) revise Nevada state law to allow for the use of any semi-automatic firearm when acquiring a CCW permit; 3) allow for the carrying of firearms in Nevada state parks; and 4) statutorily mandate a background investigation (which is currently being done by all Nevada sheriffs) for CCW permit renewals for the purpose of reinstating the NICS exemption for Nevada, thus ensuring that permit holders do not have to go through a point-of-contact check for every firearm purchased, as long as the permit is valid.



Assembly Bill 321 is also sponsored by Assembly Speaker Oceguera (D-16). This bill provides that under the defense of justifiable homicide there is no duty to retreat if the person using deadly force: 1) is not the original aggressor; 2) has a right to be present at the location where deadly force is used; and 3) is not actively engaged in criminal activity at the time deadly force is used.



Please contact your Assemblyman immediately and respectfully request that he or she support AB 282 and AB 321. For contact information or help identifying your Assemblyman, please click here.
