The Truth About Nevada
Many States have legislation requiring the States whose CCW Permits they honor to have equivalent or higher standards than they do. It may not be a true adherence to the 2nd Amendment, particularly since the Heller and McDonald decisions by the nine wise ones, but that is the way it is.
Nevada dropped Utah because Utah does not require live fire qualification / proficiency. That life fire proficiency requirement is the reason Kansas honors Nevada permits, but does not honor Utah permits and I cannot find a thread blasting Kansas. The Nevada legislature did not convene and spend weeks deciding how to screw Utah, and Utah was not the only State whose permits were no longer honored by Nevada. Florida permits got the axe in Nevada on the same day.
Nevada allows open carry, but not everywhere:
Can I carry a firearm on my person in Nevada?
Nevada has an open carry law that permits a person to carry a handgun in plain view, however, there are exceptions. For instance, Clark County requires you to have a registration to open carry, and you must carry your registration with you when you are carrying a gun. Some cities such as North Las Vegas and Boulder City have "deadly weapon" laws, and you could be cited or arrested if you pass through their jurisdictions with a firearm in your vehicle.
