I am not familiar with the other provisions of SB 175 nor of the specifics as my primary interest was in the Blue Cards however it would appear to also eliminate the 72 hour waiting period since the triggering event, no Blue Card on file, would not longer be a consideration.

What is a blue card?

In Clark County (Vegas metro area), you have to register your handguns with the county, and you get a blue registration card.  My understanding is that its an old carry over from many years ago.

Handgun registration scheme in Klark Kounty

So, handguns would not have to be registered now in Nevada???

It was only in Clark County, but my reading of it is that the Clark County registration scheme would now go away.

Yes, that was the intent of this provision of the Bill, now Law, to remove the requirement to register handguns in Clark County.


Other provisions include:

Section 1 "revises the definition of "justifiable homicide" to include specifically the killing of a person in defense of a motor vehicle or in defense against any person who manifestly intends and endeavors to enter the motor vehicle of another for the purpose of assaulting a person who is in the motor vehicle"

Section 2 of this bill "establishes a presumption that a killing is justifiable under the standard set forth in NRS 200.130 if the person killing: (1) knew or had reason to believe that the person who was killed was entering unlawfully and with force, or attempting to enter unlawfully and with force, the habitation or property of another; (2) knew or had reason to believe that the person who was killed was committing or attempting to commit a felony; and (3) did not provoke the person who was killed"

Section 3 of this bill "adds to such a list of persons a person who has been convicted in this State or any other state of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence as defined in federal law"

Section 4 of this bill "authorizes a person who is at least 21 years of age and possesses a permit to carry a concealed firearm that was issued by another state to carry a concealed firearm in this State in accordance with the laws of this State unless the person: (1) becomes a resident of this State; and (2) has not been issued a permit from the sheriff of the county in which he or she resides within 60 days after becoming a resident of this State"

Section 5 of this bill "provides that if such an extended order is issued, the adverse party is prohibited from purchasing or otherwise acquiring any firearm during the period that the extended order is in effect. A person who violates such a provision is guilty of a category B felon"

Didn't find Section 6

Section 7 of this bill "extends that presumption to circumstances in which the person who used such force was in his or her motor vehicle and the other person was committing grand larceny of the motor vehicle with the use or threatened use of a deadly weapon"

Section 7 "also enacts a provision, based upon Texas law, which provides that a person is immune to civil liability for using force which is intended or likely to cause death or bodily injury if the person was justified in using such force under the applicable provisions of Nevada criminal law. (Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 83.001)"

Sections 8-10 of this bill "expand such rights and powers of the Legislature to include those necessary to: (1) regulate the carrying and storage of firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition; and (2) define all such terms"

Sections 8-10 "additionally delete the provisions requiring certain political subdivisions of this State to make such amendments"

Section 11 of this bill "amends section 5 of A.B. 147 to include and preempt ordinances or regulations adopted by certain political subdivisions before June 13, 1989"

Didn't find Section 12.

Section 13 of this bill "repeals all provisions of existing law relating to the list prepared by the Department"

Handy link to full text of Nevada SB 175

The handy part of this bill that most people outside of nevada will care about is the increased reciprocity. Previously nevada only offered reciprocity to states with ccw training at least as stringent as ours with a shooting qualification. This bill expands that to include states that require any training. I believe after july 1 the department of public safety will release the expanded list of states so all you people can start carrying when you visit.

wait so a county in Nevada had to register guns but chicago doesnt? damn

Yup.  It's a remnant of the mob days in the 50s if I remember right.

I was unaware of the "blue card"

thats great!

glad the blue card is going away

Sounds like I'll finally be able to carry in Nevada with my AZ CCW

Don't forget SB176... now our overlord masters will allow us to have automatic knives.

I am very happy for my brothers down south.

Sort of.. preemption was removed from the billknow your county/city codes. From what I gather, you may now own a switchblade anywhere in Nevada, carrying it legally will depend on county/city codes.

I think in the other bill SB176 we are now allowed to own and carry auto knives.  About time

Good riddance.  Now we can have more employees helping to process CCW permits so folks don't have to wait so long.

Sweet, I own a Non-resident AZ CFP.  I got it since they dropped UT.



 

Yes! Fuck blue cards.

Yes, they made it to where every law is now equal across the state. No county or city can make any laws or regs that expand past those of the state or fed. So you can now carry a firearm in your car in North Las Vegas and not be required to have it on your person. The blue cards and those who issued them can rot in hell. The only thing that didn't make it the way it should have was campus carry, but I'll take a small win and snowball it next time.

Anyone with a blue card needs to keep it and show it to their children, they need to see what tyranny manifested is.

Dbl tap

me too. I think I might get Idaho's enhanced carry permit for grins.

ETA Blue card(s)

Congrats gents.

they still won't recognize WA.      

Good thing i have a nevada one now

This thread just became relevant to my interests.



 

A "blauschein?" Really? LOL.

Awesome!

Yay...

Now to get more work in Nevada after the 1st of July...

But...but...there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats!!!

They did well by this but they fucked every small business in this state with their new tax hike. Largest in state history. They all ran on being against it but they gargled Sandovals balls anyway and passed it. Good chance it will swing D next cycle, people are fucking furious.

We still took it up the rear with other laws that got passed.

This is awesome news.  The TX CHL gets me just about every state I'd want to carry in alone, except for NV.  It'll be nice to have that right soon.

I wonder how many gang bangers in Clark County register their handguns?

Awesome ! My AZ permit will finally be recognized.

I hope you will recognize FL again.  You guys dropped us when our permits went from valid for 5 years to valid for 7 years.  Feelings were hurt.

Awesome news.

bout damn time.  
I used to visit Vegas or wendover a few times a year.   and have not set foot in the the state since they dropped reciprocity with my Utah CCW,

Great news Nevada, now I hope your state resumes reciprocity with Florida once again, I'd like to take a trip to Vegas later this year.

I have easily over a hundred blue cards all in a stack in my safe.

I always found it incredible that buying an NFA weapon was nothing. You went in, told them what you wanted, they didn't bat an eye. Couldn't care less about it. One time someone even called me at home to apologize that it took an extra week for the sign-off because the guy that signed them was on vacation.

But at the same time............they had handgun registration.

Sure there is...

One side wants only to skin you from the ankles up, while the other side wants only to skin you from the ears down...

Wasn't Clark County retarded in that you needed a CCW permit per gu  you wanted to carry?

Example: Want to carry a 1911 in .45 ACP? Register it on the CCW and qualify. Want to carry a S&W 66 in .357 Magnum? You had to register that on a different CCW and qualify.


Or was it you had to qualify which each gun and were limited to a certain number of slots on the permit?

Is there a state level org that did the hard work to get this done for yall?

If so, let me know and I'll add them to this thread.

Sort of, but it was a state law.  You needed to qualify on every semi-auto you wanted to carry concealed, but only one revolver.  If I owned a glock, M&P, and an XD I would need to qualify on each gun if I wanted to carry them.  If I owned multiple revolvers I would only need to qualify on one to carry all of them.  The law was changed last year or the year before where you only needed to qualify on one gun to be able to carry all.  I got my ccw right after the law was passed, so my permit still has the lines where you needed to list the gun make, model, and caliber, but it reads "All" on the lines.
