I have follow-on orders to Nellis AFB (after Korea dammit!), and was wondering about the firearms laws in Nevada. I have heard something about regestering them? Could anyone tell me something about them?

In Clark County (which includes NAFB and LV) all handguns must be registered with LVMPD (or other LEA) within 24 hrs of arrival.....no such for long guns. Other locals will inform you re: procedures for NAFB.

Here's some info from LVMPD:

Welcome to Vegas darkstar!

Now go register those damn handguns!!!

Damn Korea then Nellis. What's your AFSC. Hope you don't get stuck at Creech.
Buddy of mine got Korea then Hickam. Lucky bastard.

Actually, most people I have talked to tat have been to Hickam said it sucked. Something about being on an island with only so much to do...

And PACAF HQ means even more suck.

Nellis isn't that bad. I know I've been trapped there since '00. There are plenty of places to shoot, camp, hike, 4 wheel, and whatever other stupidity you want to engage in. Just register your smoke wagons and then if you want to move on base you have to register them all with the SF Armory.

Not to rain on your parade;  I would not count on your follow on until you are inprocessing here.  I am sure DSkin and ANIMUS can account for a dozen troops who were supposed to have this place as a follow on who are now in ND, WY, etc.

My CATM subordinate was our last return from Korea with a follow on back here.

He is doing well in Hawaii (where they cancelled his return to nellis and eventually sent him).

Best of luck - with anyplace you will get used to it.  Outside of shitty schools, too many people, too many CA plates and their operators/passengers, and costs rising like mercury in the opening scene of Farenheit 451, it isn't all that bad.

Best wishes and all the luck
