Would like to see a new push for that last one here in TN again this year.

Clark County’s 72-hour rule has been debunked for a year now. You are no longer required to “blue card” your firearms until your stay is past 60+ days. Carry all you want in Vegas, even openly! No hassles at all.

IIRC they changed the gun laws a bit last year for Vegas. The registering time limit is longer now and They have added reciprocity with some states. When I first got my Permit they wouldn’t recognize any other state CCWs and they required registration within 24 hours.

I can’t find any state concealed licenses/permits that Nevada honors. What are they?

The thing with Vegas is that it’s laws date from back before the state had preemption. Clark County (in which Vegas is located), having a very large portion of the state’s population, was able to cajole the state into letting them keep their regulations. Hence the idiotic measures you have to take when you go to Clark County but not when you go into the rest of the state.

And, the law in NH that says we have to cough up TEN WHOLE DOLLARS for our shall-issue pistol licenses.

Fascists.

Well, yes, that Montana law is exactly congruent to Article I, Section 8.15,16 of the U.S. Constitution that the only guns that are subject to Federal laws are those under its jurisdiction; i.e., those guns being carried by those employed by the Feds:

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, AND FOR GOVERNING SUCH PART OF THEM AS MAY BE EMPLOYED IN THE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

The rest of the militia is governed by the necessity of “the secuity of a free State” and ultimately by “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”…according to the 2nd Amendment and the 10th Amendment.

Also add the general ban in buying handguns out of state.
