Coming to Nevada for the first time for a race down in primm Nevada.
I'm driving in, I read that I can have it loaded openly on my hip or in my center console, I just can't conceal my glock on my person.
And oc is legal every where beside secures areas.


Thanks for the info.

You can have it loaded anywhere in your car, except if attached to your person then it can't be concealed by your clothing or something you are carrying.

Open carry is legal most everywhere, yes. There are few places that care, but private property can always ask you to leave, and you can expect that in the casinos, including Primm.

The Statute you show here only applies to permitted conceal carry which is not what the post was concerned with. It does not apply to open carry at all. The areas where OC is not allowed by statute is not really in any place a visitor here would likely go. Signs have no weight in law but are only an indication that you may be asked to leave. Private places that will ask you to leave are few.

I'm planning to travel to AZ and crossing over in to NV, just to confirm that you don't need a valid concealed permit to OP?
I know TX now allows OC but you need a permit. In states such as AZ, VA and WV you don't need a concealed permit to OC.

Correct. In NV, AZ, UT, you do not need a permit, or even ID, to openly carry a firearm. AZ also adds permitless concealed carry if you are over 21 and are not in a bar.

I'm very familiar with AZ gun laws.

I always see OC when I'm in rural NV. Not on everyone, or even most, but I always see it somewhere. I occasionally see in Las Vegas, which is a lot more often than I used to. A few of us went decades without seeing others in the city. I've seen a few at Lake Mead, and I'm always openly carrying there. I've never had an issue; though I'm usually packing a stainless revolver instead of my 1911 to minimize cleaning issues on my sidearm from the water spray when doing 40 knots on my boat.
