State law allows for a resident who is not a felon or does not have a domestic violence conviction to carry a gun as long as it is not concealed.

is that part of the article accurate? i don't think state law limits open carry to just legal residents. i'm pretty sure anyone who can legally own can legally OC in NV.

It is technically accurate but incomplete.

By not prohibiting the open carry of firearms, residents are therefore "permitted" to do so. Others, of course, are as well, since the law is silent on the topic.

Please understand that I cut and pasted a news story. Please do not use newspapers (or the internet) for legal information/advice. Even the paste I did, in another thread, from the old AGs web site is not the law.

I believe that Tim's comment is accurate.

I'm fairly certain one not need be an NV resident, only not a felon.

I have friends from California who open carry in NV and I can't imagine they're doing anything wrong (they're not felons, they legally possess their guns, etc.)
