My father got sick to the point he asked me to take him to the emergency room. I was already open carrying as I always do and didn't think twice about it. When we got to St. Rose hospital I walked him in and was giving the nurse my fathers info because he was unable to talk due to shortness of breath. Armed security started to surround me and said they needed to speak to me. I told them to wait till I was done. They complied then asked me to step outside. They informed me that no firearms were allowed inside and showed me a sign saying so. I let them know I didn't see any sign coming in and would simply go put it away in my trunk then return to my ill father. That wasn't enough for them though. They told me I should learn the Nevada state laws.
Oh boy, now I'm getting kinda pissed off. I tell the group of 5 guards that I am well informed of the law and simply didn't see their sign. They challenge me on the issue and call over metro. I am standing outside still armed when the metro officer ask me if I have a blue card. I tell him no, I have not been a resident of Clark County for 60 days and I am not required to have one. (I live here and also California)
He then ask if the firearm is registered to me. I replied with, I am not required to have it registered to me, I am coming from California. He then tells me there are California laws that require it to be registered. I asked if LVM enforces California laws and which PC number I would be violating. He stopped for a sec then said, well keep it in the open and have a nice day.
My father turned out to be O.K. after a day in the hospital and my first encounter with a Metro officer went really smooth. I was surprised I wasn't handcuffed forced to show ID and ran for warrant like the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia.
Moral of the story is Nevada owns.
