Nye County Sheriff office and Courthouse

Good stuff as I am expecting the answer to be, yes. I'll add that.

Better yet, use whatever the statute verbiage is for those public buildings that the public isn't supposed to be denied access to.

I'd be inclined to ask if I'd be harassed, detained, trespassed or arrested, but NOT add the "if yes" part. You could see if his natural answer is "yes" before asking him how it would be legal.

And the Sheriff's position on NRS202.3673

It is very sad to think there is an elected Sheriff that can't read plain English. It is also interesting to note that while he tells you not to play lawyer, that is exactly what he is doing.

Sounds like a good test for the NVFAC to get involved with. Send it over to Don Turner and ask for them to at least send a letter to the Sheriff showing him the error of his ways.

P.S. I think he just gave you standing as a litigant as he directly threatened you with arrest for engaging in a completely legal activity. That is something that Clark County has refused to do when I directly challenged them on this same issue. They would not directly tell me what would happen if I disobeyed their "law".

All of what you said is exactly what I am thinking! Plus, do you see that he said "cited/arrested under NRS 202.3673 and charged with a Misdemeanor crime" not a Trespass charge?

I did...

This is very disappointing. I have personally met Sheriff DeMeo and he is a very reasonable guy. I guess even good guys get it wrong sometimes.

I have been contemplating getting some shirts made that have the pertinent verbiage of 202.3673 printed on the front, with the word "concealed" highlighted, for just such an occasion.

What part of the word "concealed" does the sheriff not understand? Everything in that NRS has to do with "concealed" weapons. It says NOTHING about openly carrying a legal weapon. Day after day I am unfortunately coming to the conclusion that this great nation with all the education and technology available has a higher percentage of illiterate people in positions of legal/law enforcement/government than other fields of endeavor.

I wonder what kind of society we would have if the people who enforce the laws or even the everyday citizen just decided to drop words from the laws, to justify their actions/needs.

Somebody specifically identified "concealed" as a requirement otherwise they could have saved the ink and just said "firearm".

Some peoples kids, I tell ya'.

Observation + question...

The pertinent part of the NRS you quoted is "while on the property", not the vehicle part. It doesn't matter how the gun is carried or stored. You can't have it "on the property," including in your car.

The vehicle part of the NRS is to prohibit carry in the school owned vehicle when it's not on the school's property. This means if you ride along with your kid's class on a field trip, you can't carry on the bus.

And as to the definition of "possession", I would consider that anything in your car is in your possession while driving (possible exception: if the item is in the immediate control of a passenger, and even then it's iffy). Unless of course, if you jumped out of the car before it got onto the school's property, and so the car isn't in your immediate possession anymore. I don't think my aim is good enough to hit a parking space from a distance, but it would explain some of the parking jobs I've seen.

I used to live in New Orleans and once I was called out to a military facility to unlock a Cadillac for an employee.

As I approached the guard shack I read the signs (prohibiting weapons) and then said to the sentry: "I can read, and I'm not STUPD, and I don't want to get in any trouble. Do you want to hold my side arm?" Sentry: "Are you going to go crazy?" Me: "No I'm going to open a cadillac!"
Sentry: "Go ahead!" To me that meant I had permission of the base commander, so I proceeded... .

-------------------

My question: If open carry is legal in Nevada, can anyone tell me how the casinos' security staff react to people carrying openly?

In all of the trips I've made to vegas I can't recall anyone carrying openly in any casino, on Fremont Street, or anywhere else for that matter...

Inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks in advance,
Charley

To answer your question about casino open carry. There is no law prohibiting, but it is private property and the security folks may ask you to take your firearm out. Generally people who OC ,in the state, know this, and will either not bring their firearm into the casino, to avoid a confrontation, or they will conceal it. I've done both, depending on what I was wearing at the time.

I've sat down and played blackjack at Red rock, gone to dozens of movies at orleans and santa fe and red rock, and stood infront of the main cashier cage at the rio right by security (looking like an idiot cause my friends couldnt make up their minds where we were going to get dinner, I was like ...guys I don't want to loiter infront of the main cage heh') and never had a problem. But the consensus is that the hotels on the strip by policy do not want guns on the property and will ask you to leave or take it to a vehicle. The other more local ones I've mentioned will, and have asked other people to leave as well, but I've just never had it happen. I work in a hotel on the strip, and our staff will ask people to leave. The hotel manager or GM or something of MGM Grand was citing in a news article stating that guns are illegal in hotels - which while wrong - shows that MGM Grand, as well as the company's other 12 or so hotels there probably don't allow them.

Nothin illegal, they can ask you to leave, if you don't you can be cited/arrested for tresspassing

Good luck!
