Mr. Brok3n,

Thank you for contacting me regarding SB452 relating to concealed carry. The language of this bill is extremely similar to the language of AB286 that was amended out. This bill is sponsored by Senator Cannizzaro, prohibits citizens from being able to conceal carry at certain gaming-connected businesses, such as hotels and shopping malls, if the owners decide to declare it a gun-free zone. This restriction extends to the property line, meaning the firearm prohibition includes open areas like parking lots, with limited exceptions. The bill contains no requirements for gun-free businesses to provide any security measures to guarantee the safety of disarmed patrons, such as security guards or metal detectors, to prevent armed criminals from ignoring the arbitrary boundaries and entering. I agree with you that this is bad policy. This legislation was presented in a Joint Senate and Assembly Judiciary meeting on Saturday May 22nd. It was voted on and passed out of the Senate on May 26th with 11 Yeas and 10 Nays. It now moves onto the Assembly side and I will be a “Nay” vote if it comes to the Assembly Floor for a vote.

Thank you for being active in the political arena.

Thank you for your opinion.  I would never vote for a bill that would take away your 2nd Amendment rights.

As someone who used to live in NV it's disheartening to see it go down the tubes so fast.

I'm not a huge gambler but it's nice to occasionally stay in a nice hotel, go to one of the restaurants, see a show, etc.  It looks like this bill is going to turn just about every casino hotel into a legally enforceable no go zone.  And its going to require all the hotel security to get indoctrinated with a bunch of CRT bullshit too.

I'm also a little unclear on what an unrestricted gaming license is... There are slot machines in the grocery store and gas stations, hopefully they're not covered.

Good luck in fighting this bullshit off.
