1. It is unlawful for a person who:
(a) Has a concentration of alcohol of 0.10 or more in his blood or breath; or
(b) Is under the influence of any controlled substance, or is under the combined influence of intoxicating liquor and a controlled substance, or any person who inhales, ingests, applies or otherwise uses any chemical, poison or organic solvent, or any compound or combination of any of these, to a degree which renders him incapable of safely exercising actual physical control of a firearm, to have in his actual physical possession any firearm.

One cashier testified that he fell onto the belt by her without tripping over anything. She said Scott told her that he was "messed up". Scott's girlfriend then propped him up with a shopping cart.
The membership clerk said that he wrote illegibly on his application and in the wrong spaces. His girlfriend ended up filling out the application for him.
Other witnesses said he had trouble walking and that his eyes were glossy or red.
Scott was unable to follow any commands by the police.
Therefore, Scott was carrying the weapon illegally according to Nevada law.

That's what the law says; perhaps not what it was meant to say, but that is irrelevant. We can now persecute and/or prosecute the police officers for violating that selfsame law.
Also note that "any person who inhales, ingests [...] any compound or combination of any of these" applies to those who drink water, or tea, or coffee, or milk, or juice, or soda....
