NEVADA STATE LAWS ON BUS CONDUCT:
Under Nevada Revised Statute 200.471, a person who commits an assault upon a transit operator with a deadly weapon or presents the ability to use a deadly weapon is subject to
Under Nevada Revised Statute 200.481, a person who commits a battery upon a transit operator is subject to imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than two (2) years and a maximum term of not more than ten (10) years, a fine of not more than $10,000, or both fine and imprisonment.
So is merely stepping onto a bus with a OC weapon enough to warrant imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than one (1) year and a maximum term of not more than six (6) years, or a fine of not more than $5,000, or both fine and imprisonment?
If that is the case I should have been in jail for years and years, being an armed security officer at the age of 18, and not being able to carry concealed until 21 I rode the bus for almost 2 years to and from work everyday with an OC weapon. Perhaps nothing was said because I was in uniform most of the time, or the driver didn't notice.
I just had a friend and co-worker call the RTC (Regional Transportation Commission) to inquire the specific regulations on carrying on a bus. The representative that he spoke with informed him that he must produce ID and his gun registration card and that he shows that the weapon is unloaded. None of these policies are stated on the RTC website, and there are not laws governing the ability to carry, just the punishment if the driver has APPREHENSION that they might incur harm.
So how do you have the freedom to travel when your freedom rests entirely in the drivers perception of a threat?
