You have to be 21, in the State of Nevada to get a Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit.

I would like to take a second and give a huge thanks to everyone helping! Your the future of America... I was also curious how old I would have to be to get a concealed weapons permit? ... also what "sticky?"

While I wont discourage you from getting and carrying a firearm. You need some skills. Like knowing what a sticky is and where to find it. This forum and the MANY threads have many if not all of your answers. Take the time and slow down and read a bit.

Where can I find a list of states that approve of a Nevada blue card holder for open carrying?

Blue card is a (constitution violating) gun registration it has no relation to carry of a firearm. every state is different handgunlaw.us is a good place to look, for example texas and California do not allow open carry. Nevada has no law regulating open carry and by default makes it legal. Arizona is a Constitutional Carry state with carry open or concealed without a permit.

The blue card is just a Clark County registration card. It has nothing to do with open carry, other than the fact that you must have a blue card to own a handgun in Clark County. The card means nothing outside of Clark County.

Every state has their own set of laws regarding open carry. Here is a good starting place for finding what states allow open carry: http://www.opencarry.org/opencarry.html

Before you start to open carry though, you should learn all of the laws that apply so you don't make the mistake of carrying into a place that bans guns. A good starting place for Nevada laws on carry is here: http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/showthread.php?45415-Nevada-(Open)-Carry-Pamphlet

A solid understanding of self-defense law, gun safety, and proficiency with using a firearm are also important.

I recommend, before you turn 18 and start openly carrying a firearm, you sit down with an experienced OC'er and have lunch. You'd be surprised how much there is to know. If I lived in LV, I'd invite you myself. But sitting down, with the trifold pamphlet and having your questions, and some you don't know to ask, answered in a relaxing atmosphere will be the best experience.

In the mean time, read the laws, read the forums, and keep asking questions.

Clarification: the blue card is a receipt. You are under no obligation to retain it after registration, much less carry it.

For as long as much of Clark County is requiring a 3-day waiting period (also probably unlawfully), it is recommended that you retain at least one of your blue cards to use as proof of current registration of a handgun, which saves another 3-day waiting period when buying another handgun.

Wait what?!? A 3 day wait? What if a resident from Reno that is just down in LV on vacation finds something they just can't resist at, say, NFA? Does that waiting period still apply?

I am a little confused on something I'm looking up.. in Clark county you can open carry a pistol with rounds in the mag. But can you put one in the chamber then slap another one in the mag and be legal?... also any recommendations on holsters for a glock 22 .40 Cal. And mag pouch. That I can be very active and not have to worry to much about anything slipping out?

In the entire state of NV, if you are legal to be in possession of a handgun, it can be fully loaded. Holsters are personal to a great degree. You should find a good stocking dealer that will let you try some out. COMFORT can vary widely and is an important consideration. I can't tell you how many students I get that have a $700 sidearm and either no holster or a $5 POS. If you aren't spending at least $40 on your holster, it probably isn't right for the job.
