That's my sheriff! He signs all my NFA forms by proxy. Guy reminds me of Oliver North.
About Nevada's supposedly 'goofy' qualification requirement for CCWs: Yes, we do make you qualify with each individual automatic pistol you wish to carry, but revolvers aren't specified. We also insist on training and competency, plus eight hours of classroom instruction on liability, deadly force, justification, and firearms laws. We have higher standards in Nevada and for other states to have reciprocity with us, you must meet our high standards to some degree of satisfaction. We also run periodic background checks on the CCW holder. Information is kept confidential and CCWs in Nevada are 'shall issue'. We have 'Castle Doctrine' which extends to your vehicles.
Is this unreasonable and restrictive? Hardly. In fact, I'm proud to regard our requirements as 'well regulated', in the spirit of the Second Amendment. Nevada does it right.
Seems like I heard somewhere that the gaming industry had something to do with the drafting of the NV law. My vague recollection is that it had something to do with security guards.
From my perspective it does seem somewhat over-regulated.
Any citizens is qualified as a citizen. For me this includes felons. The only way and the only organization that control and remove rights and liberties are prisons, by order of a Judge. Other than that, you are free. Free as in no charge or master.
