Hello!
Anyone here have any experience in recent years getting a non-Resident CCW Permit for Nevada? My CCW permit is not honored in Nevada and open carry does not seem a good option. So, I am considering applying for a non-resident permit for Nevada, per Nevada state law. I have read Nevada laws and have some questions.
A few times a year we cross Nevada on Route 50, making various stops. We had a scary experience (that ended well) on one trip and would like a greater comfort factor should such happen again. We almost never go to Las Vegas, so, their restrictions would not affect us.
Questions:
1) What did you do about Nevada requirement for qualifying with your carry revolver? There is no such requirement for CCW training in my current state of residence. We did, of course, have to demonstrate proficiency and safe handling with various handguns, provided by instructor.
2) Ditto for requirement to pass a CCW class certified by Nevada. Did you have to go to Nevada to take a class? Any provision for cross-certification/qualification?
At some point I expect I will contact sheriff's office in one of areas we pass through each trip and initiate application through that office. Fallon, NV is most likely city.
Thanks,
Niklas

Our CCW FAQs page is:

In short:
If you qualify with a revolver, you may then CCW with ANY revolver; the term includes single and double derringers. We still have a requirement to qualify with autoloaders by make, model, and caliber - and we hope to change that in this current legislative session so the law will read "Any Revolver, Any Semi Auto, or Both".
Although NV law, NRS Ch 202(
www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-202.html#NRS202Sec3653,) doesn't require you to take the class in NV, the Nevada Sheriffs & Chiefs ***'n (
www.nvsca.com/ )DOES require it; unfortunately, our legislature gave the NSCA too much latitude in administering the program.
