I live in Pahrump also, for over 20 years. Here is a list of where I open carry. Everywhere. Only a few no carry facilities, not on school property, in the courthouse, Sheriff Station, post office that is about it. The Pahrump DMV is posted however; the Nevada Revised Statue (NRS) they refer to in the posting only refers to concealed firearms. I have open carried in the DMV many times. If you are a legal firearm owner, you are legal to open carry. As stated no permit.
Adding to it is ok in a vehicle, loaded full mag cocked and locked ready to go, with extra mags and setting on top of a case of ammo is legal. Under the seat, in the glove box, in the center box, all legal in NV keeping in mind school property is a no gun zone. As strange as it may seem long guns can have a full mag however not one in the chamber while in a vehicle. There is no requirement to tell an officer when stopped that you are armed.
I do not go into the local casinos because they do not allow firearms. Not a law just their rules. There has been the rare occasion of me being in a casino with family that is when the CCW comes in handy. CCing is still breaking most casino rules however out of sight out of mind. If they see someone with a firearm, they will ask the person to leave and come back without it. The one small casino I have open carried in is Irene’s. They do have a sign saying no concealed firearm however never said a word about my full size open carried firearm. With that said Las Vegas open carry is almost as a nonissue as in Pahrump. I am OCing in Las Vegas all the time. It may take a while to kick the years of anti gun carrying brain washing you received while in Comifornia.
