Here is our Nevada Law concerning concealed weapons:
" NRS 202.3653 Definitions. As used in NRS 202.3653 to 202.369, inclusive, unless the context otherwise requires:
1. “Concealed firearm” means a loaded or unloaded pistol, revolver or other firearm which is carried upon a person in such a manner as not to be discernible by ordinary observation.
2. “Department” means the Department of Public Safety.
3. “Permit” means a permit to carry a concealed firearm issued pursuant to the provisions of NRS 202.3653 to 202.369, inclusive.
4. “Revolver” means a firearm that has a revolving cylinder with several chambers, which, by pulling the trigger or setting the hammer, are aligned with the barrel, placing the bullet in a position to be fired. The term includes, without limitation, a single or double derringer.
5. “Semiautomatic firearm” means a firearm which:
(a) Uses the energy of the explosive in a fixed cartridge to extract a fixed cartridge and chamber a fresh cartridge with each single pull of the trigger; and
(b) Requires the release of the trigger and another pull of the trigger for each successive shot.
(Added to NRS by 1995, 2721; A 1997, 1175; 1999, 850; 2001, 2579; 2005, 596; 2007, 3151)"
There is no exception for "unloaded"
However, there is Federal for Interstate Transport preemption:
"Per Title 18 U.S.C. Section 926A, regardless of prohibitive local laws, one may transport a firearm from one place where a firearm is legal to another place where firearms are legal without fear of prosecution, if the firearm is transported in a specific way. To be protected under this law, neither the firearm nor the ammunition can be readily accessible from the passenger compartment, or if the vehicle has no compartment other than the driver’s compartment, then the firearms and ammunition must be in a locked case other than the glove box or console. The law imposes no requirement to transport a firearm in such a manner, unless one is seeking protection from prohibitive local laws. This law is unlikely to be useful in Nevada, where restrictions on firearms are relatively minimal."
But as pointed out earlier, it's for interstate (state to state) not intrastate (within a state).
Transporting from Ohio to Nevada in a vehicle in a "specific way" is legal. It may be a stretch to carry your firearm in a "specific way", at every hotel along your travel and consider that interstate transport.
What are your thoughts?
This law is specific to vehicles and not does not include pedestrian travel.
Do stops at hotels and restaurants, along your trip, get included in the "Interstate Transport"?
I think not.
