Quoted: Local permit handgun registration is required in Las Vegas limits even for residents. |
Sort of.
The new law changes that and essentially gives Clark County 60 days to change its law requiring registration within 24 hours, to the new law giving non-residents (i.e. casual visitors) 60 days to register, thereby effectively removing the requirement for all casual visitors. Clark County has 60 days to change its law or it automatically becomes the law on 1-1-08.
I have talked to the LV PD directly on this. Their best guess is that the Clark County Commission will sit on this and not affirmatively change its law within that 60 day period, or if they do, they nonetheless will make it effective 1-1-08.
The practical effect is that no later than 1-1-08 the requirment becomes moot for casual visitors. Until then, it would be prudent to at least call the LV PD to be certain of the current requirement.
