You wear an empty holster... Somebody will query where the gun is. If you don't have a 'Blue card' for the gun... yer screwed. NV does not recognize (reciprocity) AZ CWP's.
As to my 'police' background... Baltimore City Police Academy/Maryland Police Training Commission 18 weeks. Special Weapons and Tactics, Small arms, In-Service Training (road course), First Aid/CPR... 'n some nickle-dime stuff.3 1/2 years... 'left because I re-enlisted in the Regular Navy (again). 20+ years active (AO(AW)) 3 combat deployments, 10 yrs Fleet Reserve, 11 years classified work under SPAWAR.'Been to Fallon several times. I don't think I'd OC downtown around the 'Nugget 'n stuff tho.
I don't agree withthe County Ordinance (that's your projection) but the OP went trollin' for a response to his actionsand got what he wanted. Now he's complainin'.Some people want attention... he got it. 'Nuff said!
Your complete lack of understanding does not surprise me. First of all as a visitor he did not need a Blue Card. Second he did not have on his person a gun, can you understand that? Third there was no concealed gun so AZ permit is not an issue.
You seem to like to ignore the facts as they are given and only hear what you want. You have ZERO credibility with me and I hope with most on here.
Your understanding of Nev is also not correct. I open carry all over Las Vegas with zero issues. In Casinos even. This guy just ran into a couple of rogue mall cops and rogue LVMPD.
