Just called RTC and they informed me that I can not ride with a firearm unless I'm in uniform. Firearms are not listed on any RTC public policy document as a restricted item and depending on how you interpret NRS 200.471 Just having a firearm could be considered assault if you wanted too assert that the bearer presented the ability just by having a weapon.
This really bites, as my primary means of transportation is the bus. Does anyone know in what manner I can stow my firearm in a backpack that would be considered transport rather than CC? I don't want to run the risk of an unlawfully concealed weapon charge.
