Two New Firearm Laws Now in Effect in Nevada

Assembly Bill 217 and Assembly Bill 282 went into effect on July 1.


Assembly Bill 217, introduced by Assemblyman John Ellison (R-33), allows residents of non-contiguous states to purchase long guns in Nevada. It also allows Nevada residents to purchase long guns in non-contiguous states. This legislation brings Nevada in line with the protections provided by the Firearms Owners Protection Act, which allows for the interstate sale of long guns by federally licensed firearms dealers.


Assembly Bill 282, introduced by Speaker John Oceguera (D-16), is a four-point omnibus gun bill. While this bill was initially problematic due to NRA-opposed language being inserted on the Assembly floor, the bill was rewritten in a joint legislative conference committee to benefit Nevada Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) permit holders.


AB 282 will:

ensure that CCW permit holders’ names and addresses remain confidential;
revise Nevada state law to allow carrying of any semi-automatic pistol, as with revolvers, once qualified for a CCW permit with a semi-automatic pistol;
allow carrying of firearms in Nevada state parks; and
statutorily mandate a background investigation (which is currently being done by all Nevada sheriffs) for CCW permit renewals for the purpose of reinstating the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) exemption for Nevada, thus ensuring that permit holders do not have to go through a point-of-contact check for every firearm purchased, as long as the CCW permit is valid.

RKBA is on a roll. Gains for gun right continue. We ARE the backlash.

3. The REAL backlash is here.

And this is it.

I wonder if the batty bunch and all the others are happy with their creation.

4. We are a roll and the ATF scandal will help stop another useless assault weapons ban ...

Even the Republican Paul Helmke who is the Brady Campaign's president is deserting the sinking ship and will step down on July 10.

Maybe the Brady Campaign will hire Michael Bloomberg, the gun hating mayor of New York City, as its next president. Since he is the 13th-richest person in the United States, he might do the job for free. They need to save every dime they can as their membership has dropped dramatically in recent years and their funding is drying up.

Of course if Bloomberg can manage to get New York City to change its term limits one more time, he may be elected as King of New York City and have a long career like the ex-king of Chicago, Mayor Daley. It's good to be King.

Bloomberg is a cat of many colors as he has been a Democrat, a Republican and and Independent.
