My instructor said that Clark County requires that you do own it and have it registered in your name. She wouldn't allow a married couple to both qualify with the same gun unless they registered it in both names. They ran over to Metro to re-register it.
I hope she was wrong. Check with the instructor you're going to use and Metro before you take the class.
Find a new instructor. The laws regarding CCW are state statutes. Local entities can not require more than is allowed by state law.
Yeah. I used a different instructor when I added guns. The instructors said it's in the County Code that it is required. The other instructor I used still required that I show them my blue cards.
Who is doing that? Discount was but after I had contacted the CCW office Discount now has a new form and no longer looks at the blue card.
Bargain Pawn was the one that told us it had to be registered in our names to qualify with. American Shooters on Arville checked my blue card when I added guns. Neither actually recorded the serial number (they crossed out that box), but both did examine the blue cards.
Bargain Pawn was in April, American Shooters was in October. Both this year.
I have no doubt that you guys are right and it isn't required. I'm just saying that not all instructors know the law. Or police officers, for that matter. They'll listen to what the Sheriff says, and he wants to restrict more than he's allowed by law. Does the Sheriff have the authority to de-certify an instructor? If so, it's in their interest to obey his illegal restrictions, or go out of business.
I also have a problem with dealers still doing that stupid 3 day "cooling off period". That's regulating possession, which is explicitly prohibited by the statewide preemption. But the dealers are the ones that would get in trouble for challenging it, so they go along with it.
Any buyer that wants to challenge it is unlikely to know the law already, being a first-time handgun buyer (supposedly). If the buyer tries to challenge it in court, by the time the judge hears about it, the waiting period is already over, so they don't have the motivation to follow through. If I had the money to throw at a lawyer, I'd have one standing by with a lawsuit in hand, ready to file, and refuse to show a blue card next time I buy a handgun. I'd even open carry while buying so the dealer knows that I do own one already.
