Does anyone know the AB #'s for the gun related bills?
Here ya go! Remember, all is subject to change/amendment.
SB-126 “Any Semi-Auto”
www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/76th2011/Reports/history.cfm?ID=292
Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
1 Under existing law, a person applying for a permit to carry a firearm in a
2 concealed manner is required to list on an application each specific semiautomatic
3 firearm to which the permit will pertain but may receive a permit for all revolvers
4 owned by the person without listing each revolver specifically. (NRS 202.3657)
5 This bill revises this provision to allow a person to complete one application and
6 obtain one permit to carry in concealment all firearms owned by the person. The
7 application must specify whether it pertains to revolvers, semiautomatic firearms or
8 both, and the applicant must demonstrate competence with each category of
9 firearm, as applicable. The permit is then valid for any firearm within each category
10 of firearm listed on the permit which is owned or obtained by the person.
The first hearing for SB-126 is February 16, 2011.
P. S. We are working to remove the language “…owned by the person” – and possibly replace with “The person must not be required to list nor identify on the application each revolver or semiautomaticfirearm.
See AB-143, below.

AB-143 “Any Semi-Auto AND CCW Confidentiality”
www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/76th2011/Reports/history.cfm?ID=349
Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
1 Existing law provides that a qualified applicant for a permit to carry a
2 concealed firearm may obtain a permit for revolvers, for one or more specific
3 semiautomatic firearms, or for revolvers and one or more specific semiautomatic
4 firearms. (NRS 202.3657) If the application for a permit involves semiautomatic
5 firearms, the applicant must state the make, model and caliber of each
6 semiautomatic firearm for which the applicant is seeking to obtain a permit. (NRS
7 202.366) Additionally, to receive and renew a permit involving semiautomatic
8 firearms, an applicant or permittee must demonstrate competence with each
9 semiautomatic firearm to which the application pertains. (NRS 202.3657,
10 202.3677)
11 Existing law also provides that information in an application for a permit to
12 carry a concealed firearm and all information relating to the investigation of an
13 applicant for such a permit is confidential. (NRS 202.3662) However, the Nevada
14 Supreme Court recently held in Reno Newspapers, Inc. v. Haley, 126 Nev. Adv.
15 Op. 23, 234 P.3d 922 (2010), that the identity of a holder of a permit to carry a
16 concealed firearm and any postpermit records of investigation, suspension or
17 revocation are not confidential and are therefore public records.
18 Section 1 of this bill allows a qualified applicant for a permit to carry a
19 concealed firearm to obtain one permit for all semiautomatic firearms that the
20 applicant seeks to carry instead of being required to obtain a permit for each
21 specific semiautomatic firearm. Sections 1 and 4 of this bill provide that an
22 applicant or permittee may demonstrate competence with semiautomatic firearms in
23 general rather than competence with each specific semiautomatic firearm. Section 3
24 of this bill provides that the identity and any information acquired during the
25 investigation of a holder of a permit to carry a concealed firearm are confidential,
26 as are any records regarding the suspension, restoration or revocation of such a
27 permit.
First hearing date to be announced.

AB-8 “Castle Doctrine”
www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/76th2011/Reports/history.cfm?ID=26
Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
1 Under existing case law, there is no duty to retreat before using deadly force if
2 the person using deadly force is not the original aggressor and reasonably believes
3 that he or she is about to be killed or seriously injured. (Culverson v. State, 106
4 Nev. 484 (1990)) Section 1 of this bill provides that under the defense of justifiable
5 homicide there is no duty to retreat if the person using deadly force: (1) is not the
6 original aggressor; (2) has a right to be present at the location where deadly force is
7 used; and (3) is not engaged in criminal activity at the time deadly force is used.
8 Section 1 also revises the definition of “justifiable homicide” to include specifically
9 the killing of a person in defense of a motor vehicle or in defense against any
10 person who manifestly intends and endeavors to enter the motor vehicle of another
11 for the purpose of assaulting a person who is in the motor vehicle.
12 Existing law provides that a killing is justifiable if the circumstances were
13 sufficient to excite the fears of a reasonable person and the person killing really
14 acted under the influence of those fears and not in a spirit of revenge. (NRS
15 200.130) Section 2 of this bill establishes a presumption that the killing is
16 justifiable under the standard set forth in NRS 200.130 if the person killing: (1)
17 knew or had reason to believe that the person who was killed was entering
18 unlawfully and with force, or attempting to enter unlawfully and with force, the
19 habitation or property of another; (2) knew or had reason to believe that the person
20 who was killed was committing or attempting to commit a felony; and (3) did not
21 provoke the person who was killed.
22 Existing law provides that in a civil action brought by or on behalf of a person
23 against whom force which is intended or likely to cause death or bodily injury was
24 used: (1) there is a presumption that the person who used such force had a
25 reasonable fear of imminent death or bodily injury to himself or herself or another
26 person if the person against whom such force was used was committing burglary or
27 invasion of the home; and (2) that presumption must be overcome by clear and
28 convincing evidence to the contrary for the civil action to be maintained. (NRS
29 41.095) Section 3 of this bill extends that presumption to circumstances in which
30 the person who used such force was in his or her motor vehicle and the other person
31 was committing grand larceny of the motor vehicle with the use or threatened use
32 of a deadly weapon. Section 3 also enacts a provision, based upon Texas law,
33 which provides that a person is immune from civil liability for using force which is
34 intended or likely to cause death or bodily injury if the person was justified in using
35 such force under the applicable provisions of Nevada criminal law. (Texas Civil
36 Practice and Remedies Code, § 83.001)
First hearing date to be announced.

AB-66
www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/76th2011/Reports/history.cfm?ID=127
Revises certain provisions concerning the restoration of a person's right to bear arms.
Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
1 Under existing law, if a court orders the sealing of a person’s criminal record,
2 the person’s right to vote, right to hold office and right to serve on a jury are
3 immediately restored to the person if those rights have not previously been restored.
4 (NRS 179.285) However, the sealing of the record does not restore the person’s
5 right to bear arms. Existing law prohibits a person who has been convicted of a
6 felony from owning or possessing a firearm unless the person has received a pardon
7 and the pardon does not restrict his or her right to bear arms. (NRS 202.360)
8 Section 1 of this bill requires that upon the sealing of a person’s criminal records,
9 the person be given a written notice informing the person that his or her right to
10 bear arms is not restored, unless the person has received a pardon and the pardon
11 does not restrict the person’s right to bear arms.
12 Existing law authorizes certain agencies and persons to inquire into and inspect
13 certain criminal records which have been sealed. (NRS 179.301) Section 2 of this
14 bill authorizes the State Board of Pardons Commissioners, which consists of the
15 Governor, justices of the Nevada Supreme Court and the Attorney General, to
16 inquire into and inspect certain sealed criminal records of a person who applies to
17 the Board for a pardon.
18 Under existing law, if a person is granted a full, unconditional pardon by the
19 State Board of Pardons Commissioners, all civil rights are restored to the person.
20 (NRS 213.090) Section 3 of this bill clarifies that those civil rights include, without
21 limitation, the right to bear arms. Further, existing law requires that a person who is
22 granted a pardon by the Board be given an official document which provides that
23 the person has been granted a pardon. (NRS 213.090) Section 3 requires that the
24 official document explicitly state that the person’s right to bear arms is restored if
25 that right is restored to the person.
This bill is said to need amendment.
