It is my understanding that all went away with instant check and preemption. I have bought several hand guns in Henderson with no problem. Paid and walked out.

That's because you already owned a "registered" handgun... in that case the 72 hour CLARK COUNTY waiting period is waived. Anyone purchasing for the FIRST time does have to wait 72 hours. Preemption or not, gun stores and other establishments selling firearms within Clark County DO require one to wait 72 hours from purchase to delivery IF it is a first-time purchase.
I remember asking them at Spurlocks if they needed to see a blue card so I didn't have to wait and he told me that was no longer valid with instant check. Perhaps this is something we need to get an OFFICIAL opinion on. Think I will write the DA about this.

Here's some more crap to throw into the game...
If you are talking about the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)...
Nevada gun dealers are required to use the state as their Point of Contact rather than go to the FBI’s National Instant Check System directly. http://www.nvrepository.state.nv.us/pos.shtml
The following was posted on the “Nevada Shooters” forum a year and a half ago… without citation(s)...
"The County. North Las Vegas, and City of Las Vegas have codes mandating a 72 hour wait if purchaser has never registered a handgun in Clark County.
Henderson and Boulder City have no such code.
This was the subject on another board when the Metro Gun Detail tried to force Henderson dealers to comply with the waiting period. They quickly rescinded the attempt when it was pointed out to them that they had no power to enforce the county code in an incorporated city"... without citation(s).
I included the dates in my cites of the ordinances. See the quotes in post #1(CC) and #8(CofLV)
