Although I think that this Topic has been discussed at length, on atleast one occasion prior, I think that The City of North Las Vegas is Violating Preemption on the following Firearm-related Subject-matter:
1. North Las Vegas Code 9.32.080, concerning Firearms in Vehicles, AND
2. North Las Vegas Code 12.16.020(20), concerning Firearms in Parks.
According to Michael Davidson, North Las Vegas’ Chief Criminal Attorney, said His Interpretation is that the Ordinance is Legal because when the State Law was last revised in 2007, the Intent was to preserve pre-1989 Local Gun Laws that had nothing to do with Firearm Registration. He said there have been dozens of Cases in recent years where Convictions that included Violation of that Ordinance have been upheld in North Las Vegas Municipal Court without a single Appeal of the Weapons Ban made to District Court in Clark County. 'The Intent was to go after GangBangers, not Mom and Pop in the RV', Davidson says.
The City of North Las Vegas is Preempted under Nevada Revised Code NRS 268.418(1).
Furthermore, Clark County is also Preempted under Nevada Revised Code NRS 244.364(1).
However, BOTH Statutes allow for the Registration of Pistols in Counties, and Cities found within those Counties, whose Populations are greater than 400,000 Persons, with certain inapplicable times, those being:
1. Within 72 Hours IF you are a Resident, OR
2. Within 60 Days, IF you are NOT a Resident, and are merely Passing through such as a Vacation.
I found Information that The NRA is going to Sue North Las vegas over this very matter, and it has been Filed accordingly as per the Information found on: http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/NewsReleases.aspx?ID=14105
Furthermore, Las Vegas is also Violating Preemption by:
1. Prohbiting Firearms in their Parks under Las Vegas City Code 13.36.055(A)(1).
1. North Las Vegas Code 9.32.080, concerning Firearms in Vehicles, AND
2. North Las Vegas Code 12.16.020(20), concerning Firearms in Parks.
