Gun Registration...

You can register at any LVMPD substation. It takes very little time. Simply taked your unloaded and cased pistols into the station and request to have them registered.

I took my pistols to the Bolden Area Command and encountered a very nice lady. I had to help her determine the information on the guns, make, model, barrel length, etc. She definately was not into guns, but she was very helpful (even if she was extremely busy at the time).

can you provide a statute cite to this grandfathering - we thought that all localites were preempted, but that the localities were just refusing to follow the law.
http://www.leg.state.nv.us/lcb/research/library/1989/AB147,1989.pdf

This a 5 megabyte Adobe PDF File

Go to the very last page (page 127) and there at section 5 is the "grandfather" stipulation.

"Sec. 5. The provisions of this act apply only to ordinances or regulations adopted on or after the effective date of this act."

So has anyone gotten word yet on how long your stay must be before you have to register your firearms?
Here's the code

12.04.200 Registration of firearms capable of being concealed.
It is unlawful for any person to own or have in his possession, within the unincorporated area of Clark County, a gun, pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed, unless the same has first been registered with the sheriff or with a police department of any of the incorporated cities of Clark County. (Ord. 242 § 20, 1965)

Note that it says "any person" not "resident of Clark County". The letter referenced from my site is no longer valid. Last time I checked with the Firearms Detail, there was a 24 hour "grace" period.

My questions:

What does "capable of being concealed mean?" Anything could be considered "capable ..."
When the local ordinance does not explicitly define something, the normal procedure is to look and see if it's defined in the NRS:

MRS 202.253
NRS 202.253 to 202.369, inclusive: 1. “Explosive or incendiary device” means any explosive or incendiary material or substance that has been constructed, altered, packaged or arranged in such a manner that its ordinary use would cause destruction or injury to life or property.
2. “Firearm” means any device designed to be used as a weapon from which a projectile may be expelled through the barrel by the force of any explosion or other form of combustion.
3. “Firearm capable of being concealed upon the person” applies to and includes all firearms having a barrel less than 12 inches in length.
4. “Motor vehicle” means every vehicle that is self-propelled.

I agree with you Blues... I am not a resident of Clark County. However, when I visit I do whatever it takes to be legal even if this means registeringthe firearms that I carry.

If big brother comes knocking I will gladly hand over every handgun I have registered in Clark County. I understand registration may ultimately lead to confiscation.

I would like to go on record saying that all of my handguns are registered in Clark County so if any confiscation ever happens I guess I will never own a handgun ever again. Then I can move toFrance like I've always dreamed.

I just talked to Las Vegas PD firearms department. The lady told me I will get arrested if I carry in the open, however she also acknowledged it is legal. When asked for what I was told that she cannot tell me that, because it is up to the individual officer. She further stated I will have to register my gun (I live in Texas). Then I spoke to the non-emergency number for LVMPD where I actually got to speak to an officer (the first lady was a civilian). Well, this officer told me that as a visitor I do not have to register my handgun and that although it is legal to carry in the open, I will probably have frequent visits from law enforcement for "person with a gun", and probably they will draw down on me. I asked him if I would get arrested for anything, including disorderly conduct, and he stated not. He basically advised against carrying in the open. Can you be more specific at what places you carried open (type of business, area of Clark county)? I carried open in Wyoming and Arizona quite a lot and never had a problem. It sounds like Las Vegas PD is disgruntled and makes up the law as they go. I am aware of North Las Vegas and Boulder city.

I just came back from Laughlin and Vegas. Open carried in Laughlin at the outlet mall across from Riverside casino. No problems at all. In Flagstaff Arizona a smart, vegan looking, tree huging dude asked me if I have a badge since I don't have a uniform. He quickly received a lecture from the gas station manager where I was getting gas that what Iwas doing is perfectly legal. The idiot stated this is a safe place and I shouldn't carry. Well, I informed him that Arizona is not a communist state and the only reason he is safe, because people like me look out for his weenie ass... He left speechless...

The gun shop guy who gave advice to our friend ArizonaTexas was wrong.

First - Nevada is an Open Carry state. The gun shop self-appointed 'expert' was incorrect, but seemed to be "advising against it" because of the expected 911-man with a gun calls, etc.

Second - Law enforcement in Nevada is okay with RKBA as a 'general rule of thumb'. There are always in every jurisdiction exceptions but generally speaking, you'll find Nevada LEOs to be okay so long as you are one of the good guys, etc. If you carry a sidearm in Clark County, they will just want to see your 'blue card' which is nothing more than proof that you've stopped by one of the Metro substations and registered your pistol. Long guns are exempt from the requirement.

There are places you will want to carry concealed with your Non-Resident CCW, i.e. casinos, etc. as those are private property and that way you can enjoy yourself with out being asked to leave.

Bottom line: use common sense.


I second that. Been OCing in Las Vegas for 4 years now with zero incidents.
