No More Concealed Carry In Nevada with Utah CFP

[Outsider]

I looked around and didn't see this in any of the forums. I got a Utah Shooting Sports Council Alert this evening and here is the first thing it said:

***************
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR UTAH CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT HOLDERS- NO MORE NEVADA CARRY!

Nevada authorities have decided that Utah Concealed Weapon Permits will NOT, repeat NOT, be recognized in Nevada effective July 1, 2009.

Even though Nevada has recognized Utah permits for several years, they recently reviewed permits from all states and decided that they will no longer recognize permits from Utah or Florida. The excuses given are that Nevada law requires the other states permit requirements to be “substantially similar to” those of Nevada. However, since Utah does not require live fire to get a permit, Nevada will not longer recognize our permit. Florida permits are good for seven years, but Nevada permits are only good for five years, providing the excuse for dropping Florida.

The people involved with Nevada permits seem to include a few powerful members of the law enforcement community who are hostile to private citizens self defense rights.

Utah Shooting Sports Council and the National Rifle Association will continue to pursue actions to restore recognition of Utah permits by Nevada, but it may take several years and changes to the Nevada laws.

Meanwhile, DO NOT CARRY IN NEVADA with a Utah Concealed Weapons Permit!

All the more reason NOT to give them any more slot money!

Pardon the newbie question, but I travel from SLC to Phoenix almost every December when the Flagstaff route is too dangerous for my car, so I go through Vegas. What should the protocol be for getting my gun from here to there? Does Vegas law permit me to carry a loaded gun in my car? Do I need to unload and lock it in a case in my trunk?

Nevada allows the carrying of Open Loaded firearms. For someone stopping in Nevada, if the holster allows, simply change from concealed to Open. Nevada doesn't get any money from citizens getting concealed license and those behind this increased restriction on gun rights will be faced with a simply more open display of firearms.

Im aware its NOT July 1st, but you'd think they would have some sort of indicator on their site that this would be changing AS of this date.

Thanks.

Are there any problems if I just drive through the state and don't exit the car? Can I keep a loaded gun in my car in Nevada legally?

That really sucks! Our family goes to St. George like every other month and we always go down to Mesquite or to Vegas for the buffets! This really is quite lame!

Nevada is still a "Gold Star" open carry state. OpenCarry.org - State Information For Nevada

You may still carry a loaded handgun openly, regardless of your permit status.

Nevada is a traditional open carry state with complete state preemption of firearms laws.
However, Clark County is grandfathered so as to continue a "Deadly Weapons" registration scheme.
Fortunately, Nevada law exempts travelers to and through Nevada from these registration requirements for 60 days.

So they have a issue with "Non-Live Fire Trained" people (with Background checks and education) concealing, but they are fine if any joe Open Carries?

Their non-reporosity seems unusually restrictive in a non-restrictive state...
