This is germane to concealed carry. But this is a good example of why we must continue to scrutinize county/city/town ordinances to ensure all are in compliance with state law.

A couple of things wrong here.
First, the CCW instructor is the person at fault. He should NOT have signed off firearms in which he did not witness actual qualification.
Second, and this is HUGE, the RGJ article says:
I am drafting aformal letter ... I submit that is a flagrant violation of NRS 202.3662 and the good sheriff must be held accountable.
And I certainly HIGHLY encourage EVERYONE to write/call Sheriff Pierini, urging him to reconsider and comply with Nevada law.

This is CLEARLY UNLAWFUL in accordance with NRS 202.3662, which states:In Douglas County, the sheriff's office releases the names of individuals with permits...
I spoke with Douglas County Sheriff Ron Pierini. He confirmed that he does, indeed, release CCW permittees' names to the general public. He further indicated he has no plans to change his policy.NRS 202.3662 Confidentiality of information about applicant for permit and permittee.
