I have an Arkansas CHL permit, which Nevada does recognizes. I will be going to the casinos, etc. What about switchblades?

Thanks, Bruce.

Switchblades ARE illegal.  Open carry NOT welcomed in the casinos...... they are private property.

Rural NV is firearms friendly for the most part.  Vegas is definitely don't ask, don't tell.

Most casinos won't ask if you carry and you sure as hell don't tell them.  Concealed means concealed and you will be fine.   If by chance they learn you are carrying the most they can legally do is ask you to leave.  If you do you are kosher.  I have never heard of anyone getting booted for CCW in a casino that wasn't looking for trouble.

Enjoy your trip and thanks for spending your vacation dollars in Nevada.

Thanks for the info guys. Is there anywhere in vegas where open carry is ok? I thought doing it for the he'll of it, we don't allow it here, but it may be more trouble than it's worth.

Do NOT open carry here..

re: casino concealed carry

I read a NRS here a while back that said you need specific signage at the entrance to establishments to restrict concealed carry, and that most casinos don't follow this but have smaller signs.

Of course, in any establishment, if they ask you to leave because you are carrying it is prudent to do so without incident.

They can put up whatever signage they want, NRS doesn't preclude you from carrying in a casino.

yep, but it is private poperty, so they can kick u off property, and even 86 you...

Concealed means concealed.  They should not know you are carrying.

642 in my pocket. They're not going to know. I just want to keep my bases covered.

You'll be fine.  You're not breaking any laws. Enjoy your stay. Spend early, spend often

Thats right.   Signage prohibiting ccw posted anywhere except a government owned building or school has no force of law.  It would have the same legal weight as if they posted  a sign telling you not to bring your cellphone or sunglasses into the building.


The most they can do is ask you to leave.  Your response to that is what determines if LEO gets involved or not.  

Quoted: Do NOT open carry here..

Why not?

Your get attention that is not worth the hassle.... theyll take u in for disturbing the peace...

Quoted: Quoted: Do NOT open carry here.. Why not?

I am about as "pro-second amendment" as they come but I still don't get the "hey, look at me ....I'm carrying a gun" mentality.  I want the element of suprise and don't like attention, but that's just my humble opinion!

Correct.

With a CCW you can carry everywhere except:
-inside buildings at public schools or public universities/colleges
-inside public buildings at public airports
-inside government buildings with EITHER metal detectors OR signs prohibiting firearms posted at each public entrance.

Before I got my CCW, I always open carried while walking my dogs in my neighborHOOD. I never had to surprise anyone.

It's possible he's referring to open carry while at the mall or some other populated areas.  Walking the dog in the neighborhood is nothing from what I've seen.

Well, I made it back. ccw'd the whole time, went fine. lost all my money, shot some machine guns. That about covers it.

Thank you, come again

Aren't private schools on the no carry list, because they are defined in the statute as public?  I haven't looked it up for awhile, but that is memory.

Thank you for visiting Nevada and contributing to our fine state by way of your  gaming dollar.  Feel free to return as often as you like.   Nevada loves visitors.....though occasionally we have a bone to pick with certain socialist types that move here and try to remake the state into the image of the one they left.


And for dbailey.....the law actually state  that ccw on the premises of public schools and private daycare centers is prohibited.  It does not specifically address private schools.  Gray area , possibly subject to interpretation by an overzealous DA.  A private daycare center could be construed as a private school and the law "stretched" to apply to that locale.  YMMV of course.

Quick CCW related question to anyone who knows:

I need to add a new semi to my permit. Can I pay the $25 fee in cash, or does it need to be MO?

Thanks!

MO or cashier's check only.  No cash.

Merci.

Quoted: Your get attention that is not worth the hassle.... theyll take u in for disturbing the peace...

That is complete bullshit. If your specifically talking about "inside" Casino's then you should say so.

If you have any -Please share first hand experience regarding the so called "theyll take u in for disturbing the peace".

I open carry - I am in Vegas and I have never had an issue.
