In my state I walked into the county sheriff’s office and say, “hi Sam, I need a carry permit”. I fill out the application, have my photo taken and 6-weeks later the permit arrives.
In Nevada I had to attend a 6-hour course, go to the range and shoot 10-rounds each from three distances for each of the guns I wanted to register to carry. On the back of the carry card is a list of all guns and calibers which are permitted based on my qualifying. Nevada does not recognize permits from other states.
In Arizona it was a nine-hour course over 3 evening sessions of 3-hours, then qualify at the range.
All states are different; but I don’t mind the course requirement. The Arizona and Nevada courses were excellent and good refreshers.
Good shooting!
I thought NV changed the law effective last year so that you don’t actually “list” the firearms on the back. Just if you qualify with both revolver and semi-auto. Register? Only in LV as far as I know. But, being new to the state and getting ready to take the CCW class I guess I’ll find out soon enough. Also, even if you have a valid permit from another state, that doesn’t have any bearing on getting an NV permit. Not that anybody should be required to have a permit in any case if they aren’t “otherwise prohibited”.
