I keep trying to find something on this subject but can't find a clear answer. I was told that some states your gun has to be 2 actions from firing. For example guns with a hammer can have one in chamber as long as it is not cocked and safety is on. Since a glock is pull trigger and done, can I in Nevada open carry a glock with a round ready to go?

This is Nevada.

Carry it how you damn well please.

Utah, I think, is one of those states that require two "separate" actions to bring your sidearm into battery. No such requirement here in Nevada.

Carry one in the pipe if that's what you want. Long guns in Nevada must have an empty chamber. Handguns, no rules about condition of carry.

Oh and hiya, welcome to the board! :)

Absolutely correct, Tim. MY boo boo. Thanks for catching my error, and for the cite.

I'm very glad to know we here in Nevada have you on our side, man. You define, for me at least, the way to know your stuff, and practice what you preach.
