No answer to the question of posting a copy of the e-mail and no reply of any kind other than the first post. Looking a little suspicious.

I seem to remember reading somewhere, on either here or nevadashooters of a member getting an actual letter or email from the BC DA or some other authority stating they are now following state law. I wouldn't say fishy that the OP hasn't reposted this site can be a little intimidating at first
I will do some searching to see if I can turn up such a letter from authority in BC about preemption.*Edit to add in some resources I found.
Well I couldn't find the actual letter but found three threads about this, one of them Tim references another thread but since the forum move its unaccessible per the link and something tells me its in there that information is present. Moving along this thread talks about BC and some one on one face to face conversations with the city attorney
http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/showthread.php?65573-Boulder-city&highlight=boulder+city
Theres also two more threads on this on nevadashooters.com were members have had face to face conversations with the city attorney and Police Chief From reading these threads, the BC code is still on the books banning carrying of weapons within city limits but has been stated by their Chief of Police and their City Attorney they know their code is in violation of state law and will not be enforced.
http://nevadashooters.com/showthread.php?t=11107
http://nevadashooters.com/showthread.php?t=10990
Also, I have OCed in BC a few times, never did have an incident, I never saw LEO either so no way for me to say yes you will not have a problem. I do feel comfortable every time I OC there however. I guess we should try and get BC to remove their unconstitutional law from the books.

The message I received from Dave Olsen, Boulder City Attorney. I used the NRS 239 law in order to require his response, since he had previously been ignoring my requests. I have bolded the appropriate sections.
Monday, March 10, 2008 6:00 PM
Mr. Farrell:
Your request for records is misdirected. Pursuant to NRS 239.0101.1.(b), I offer written notification to you that I am not the custodian of records for the City of Boulder City. I do not maintain any of the records you requested at my office. I seriously doubt that most of the records you requested ever existed or now exist. Furthermore, although I do not knowingly have any of the records you request in my custody, a significant part of the documents created by my office are the work product of my office would be subject to the attorney-client privilege and therefore confidential. In any event I don't have any of the records you seek and the proper contact for inspection or copying of Boulder City public records would be the Boulder City Clerk. The address of the City Clerk is Box 61350, Boulder City, Nevada, 89006-1350. The Clerk's telephone number is 293-9210. I stress that I am not denying your request. I am simply referring you to the proper source for such records in accordance with the statute.
You state that you are "aware of the opinion of" my "office that the ordinance should not be repealed." I have not published a formal opinion on the subject of Section 7-1-3 of the Boulder City Code. I have never taken a position that the ordinance in question should be repealed or upheld. Frankly, I agree with you that a portion of Section 7-1-3 has indeed been preempted by the legislature, but that the remainder is fully consistent with paragraph 2 of NRS 268.418 and therefore not preempted.
I would also suggest that it is also not within the scope of my authority to "instruct the police department on the enforceability of" any part of the Boulder City Municipal Code. The Chief of Police is the head of the enforcement arm of the law in Boulder City. If the Chief desires input from me he will ask for it. From time to time I may offer advice, but the authority to enforce the law in Boulder City rests exclusively with the Chief and his officers. I understand that the Chief has given you his perspective on the instant subject and that for all intents and purposes, your issue(s) with Section 7-1-3 are actually moot.
The matter of reviewing and possibly repealing all or part of the ordinance in question should be a matter for City Council consideration, but to my knowledge it is not a priority, due to other more pressing issues facing the City, and because our police officers are not fully enforcing it at the present time, as you were informed by Chief Finn..
Hopefully you understand that should you choose to bring a loaded weapon into the corporate limits of Boulder City, you cannot discharge it, for any reason, within 1000 yards of of any building, street, sidewalk, alley, highway or other public place. As clearly set forth in NRS 268.418,"the governing body of a city may proscribe by ordinance or regulation the unsafe discharge of firearms." The City has proscribed by ordinance that it is unsafe for anyone other than a sheriff, constable or police officer to fire or discharge any firearms or air guns of any description within one thousand (1,000) yards of any building, street, sidewalk, alley, highway or other public place.
Under NRS 268.418, you may now be able to transfer, sell, purchase, possess, own and transport your firearms within Boulder City subject only to State regulation, but unless you're a sheriff, constable or police officer, and unless you're 1000 yards away from any building, street, sidewalk, alley, highway or other public place have the gun with you, but you just can't shoot it. In most cases, if you were to fire your gun in Boulder City, you'd be violating the part of Section 7-1-3 that the legislature specifically left to municipal regulation.

e-mail from boulder city attorney
Mr. Dieter,
I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. I field at least two questions a week from concerned gun owners wanting to know the situation regarding Boulder City's handgun regulations. I must have assumed that I'd contacted you. In any event I apologize for the delay.
As the City Manager has correctly informed you, the Nevada Legislature took action a couple of years ago to preempt local government with regard to the regulation of firearms. The State has the final say on all areas of handgun ownership and use with one exception. The State Legislature has reserved to the local governments the authority to regulate the discharge of firearms. In all other respects (concealed weapon permits, open carry, etc.) the Legislature has sole authority. On that basis, it is no longer unlawful in Boulder City for a person who has an appropriate permit from the sheriff of their county of residence to carry a concealed weapon in Boulder City, the Boulder City Code notwithstanding. We are in the process of amending our code to exclusively address discharge of firearms within the City, but as to concealed or open carry, my office will not prosecute anyone for violating the old City Code.
Hopefully this information answers your question. Feel free to contact me by telephone to discuss any further questions you might have.

Vicki, thank you very much for the information you have provided me. The City Attorney replied to me today also. He assures me that his office will not prosecute anyone for breaking the old city code, the state law rules. That is all I needed to know, I wish to remain a law abiding citizen, again thank you for your time.

Charles:
I have (again) requested that the City Attorney reply more specifically to your question. I can tell you this . . . Boulder City has a gun ordinance that is not consistent with State law. Because it is in conflict with State law, the Boulder City law is not enforced by our local police department and our PD enforces the State law (which would be likely to prevail when a local law conflicts with State law). I've asked the City Attorney to prepare legislation that gets this outdated law off our books, and he is working on this change to present to the City Council for consideration. So, when in Boulder City you should be following the State law as it pertains to open carry and concealed carry. I had hoped that you'd get a legal answer from the City Attorney, instead of my personal experience answer to your question. I will copy City Attorney Dave Olsen on this e-mail so he can either confirm what I have indicated to you or correct me on this. I am sorry you've had to wait so long to get an answer to a simple question, and I understand you just want to make sure you are following the rules.

Subject gun laws Boulder City Nv ?
Hello. I am not sure if you are receiving my e-mails or not. I have been trying to get a simple answer to a simple question about the laws or codes or whatever for carrying a handgun both open carry and concealed carry in Boulder City Nevada. Could you direct me to the dept. or person I should be contacting in this matter. I have contacted the Boulder City police dept. and got no response at all. I have contacted the city attorney who promised to give me the information more then a week ago. I never heard from him again either. I have contacted you several times and have not been getting any response either. So who in this city should I direct my question to. This seems very strange to me. Thank you for your valuable time.

Makes me like the people who live in NV.
Yes, I know it's still on the books, and it shouldn't have been there after the NRS was implemented, and the communication process could have been better
But without a lawsuit, there are some seriously dumbass laws floating around and being able to have a discussion(albeit long drawn out) on the subject and get someone of "power" to recognize the need to change it...
Yeah, I do like NV and find more and more reasons to like it (like being able to email someone at the DMV and actually get a human response).

But without a lawsuit, there are some seriously dumbass laws floating around and being able to have a discussion(albeit long drawn out) on the subject and get someone of "power" to recognize the need to change it...
Yeah, I do like NV and find more and more reasons to like it (like being able to email someone at the DMV and actually get a human response).

Just a little on CCW in Nv.
You know I don't understand why, in order to get a ccw permit in Nv. a person that is an x police officer, and an x marine, who has had plenty of hands on with weapons would have to go through a self defense course unless there is a revenue factor involved. Florida would issue a ccw with proof of the above mentioned without a self defense training course. Now that Nevada doesn't recognize Florida's ccw any longer because Florida has a renew at 7 years instead of 5 years like Nevada has, you have all this extra unnecessary stuff to deal with and Nevada gets it's due revenue. Florida issues permits for $75.00 plus fingerprinting fees, (which should not be necessary if you are an x police officer and an x military person, because these are still on file with big brother), never the less, it is a far cry cheaper then Nv., so I guess it is a revenue thing for Nv, but what a wacky excuse( Florida's 7 year renewal verses Nv.'s 5 year renewal, pretty ridiculious don't ya think?) What can we do about this?

Just courious, trying to start a conversation.
Thanks Ken, I'll look into that. I was posting this to start some chat about the subject, because it all sounds so insane to me, I just wondered how others felt and whether or not I had a point. Thanks for the info though.

Can someone point/link me to something official from NLV about the ordinance that prohibits openly carrying for self-defense in a vehicle being understood to be preempted by State Law? Wife likes to shop there now and I'm not always gonna be around to go with her. Something in writing from the PD or their DA would be nice. Does it exist... yet?
