Unlicensed Carry In Las Vegas, Nv

[Squawker]

Is it legal to carry an unloaded firearm (pistol) in the car (in the trunk)? I'm guessing it is, but I want to make sure. I live in AZ. I'm driving up to Hoover Dam, then over to the Grand Canyon. I have my AZ CCW, and I definitely want to have my pistol with me. I plan on unloading it and putting it in a case in the trunk before I drive out of AZ. I've heard they randomly check vehicles at Hoover Dam, so I don't want to have any problems.

Thanks

If it's unloaded and locked in a case in the trunk (the case may not be needed, but it would certainly be better for you, since you have to drive through Boulder) you should be ok.

I got my paper work and finger prints in Friday. I was informed by a buddy of mine that they are looking at a 30 to 45 day turn around now, he has a very reliable source that works in the CCW detail. One can just hope.

to my best understanding..you can open carry in NLV as it is state law. You can not carry concealed in a car though. You can carry concealed with permit though. I am almost 100% on this. Try searching on here....it where I seem to remember reading this info or links to it...

I am not sure on Boulder but I think the same applies.

thats what i said....Without a CCW permit, a firearm may be concealed in your home or vehicle as long as it is not on your person, concealed by your person, or in a personal item (such as a purse, backpack, briefcase) carried by you

[uakaos]

it is not illegal to conceal a weapon in your vehicle in the state of nevada. it is considered a place of residence in nevada. car carry ok. as of open carry in las vegas, reno, and parts of sparks you will get a fine. dont know how or why but they dont allow you to open carry.

How do you all interpret this: NRS 200.120 “Justifiable homicide” defined. Justifiable homicide is the killing of a human being in necessary self-defense, or in defense of habitation, property or person, against one who manifestly intends, or endeavors, by violence or surprise, to commit a felony, or against any person or persons who manifestly intend and endeavor, in a violent, riotous, tumultuous or surreptitious manner, to enter the habitation of another for the purpose of assaulting or offering personal violence to any person dwelling or being therein.

[1911 C&P § 129; RL § 6394; NCL § 10076]—(NRS A 1983, 518)

You can kill in self-defence against someone who violently attempts to commit a felony against you or someone who enters your home with intent to harm you or anyone living there.

All of the other adjectives pretty much just describe the different ways someone can violently attack you or your home.
