Nevada

Nevada criminalizes only concealed carry without a permit (NRS 202.350); there is no statute requiring a license for open carry for anyone 18+ who may legally possess a firearm. Some sensitive locations (K-12 schools, childcare facilities, secured airport areas, federal/legislative buildings) remain off-limits.

Nevada has no statute prohibiting firearms in places of worship; carry there is governed by the property owner's policy.

Nevada is unusually permissive here: it is legal to carry concealed or openly in a bar or restaurant even while consuming alcohol, so long as BAC does not exceed .08 (NRS 202.257).

Nevada's sheriff-issued concealed firearm permit (NRS 202.3657, implemented at NAC Chapter 202) authorizes statewide carry for a qualified permittee. No boat/vessel/waterway restriction was found in Nevada carry law in this research.

NRS §202.3673 generally lets a permittee carry a concealed firearm in a public building UNLESS that building has a metal detector at each public entrance or has posted 'no firearms' signage at each entrance (absent written permission from the building's controller), in which case carry is a misdemeanor. A sitting judge may still carry in his/her own courtroom/courthouse. So the outcome depends on whether the specific building screens/posts — courts commonly do; an ordinary DMV or city hall office often does not.

NRS §§ 202.265 and 202.3673(3) bar firearms on Nevada System of Higher Education (public) property unless the specific institution gives written permission. Private-institution policy is governed separately by ordinary trespass/property rules, not addressed by these sections.

NRS § 202.3673 requires a business to post notice meeting statutory requirements before carrying into it becomes unlawful; absent that posted notice, carry is presumptively lawful.

No NV statute requires advance owner consent; general trespass law (NRS 207.200) requires notice before presence becomes unlawful (opt-out default).

Sources conflict. usacarry.com's Nevada summary lists 'a public airport and/or a public building that is located on the property of a public airport' as an entirely prohibited location (no secure/non-secure carve-out described), which would point to 'no' — but I was blocked from reading the actual statute text (NRS 202.3673) directly (repeated 403/404s across the Nevada Legislature site, Findlaw, and a Nevada DPS PDF), and Wikipedia's 'Gun laws in Nevada' article does not mention airports at all, neither confirming nor contradicting the restriction. Given this is a real point of dispute in what I could find, and Nevada is frequently cited in the CCW community as a state where airport property carry is broadly restricted (not just past screening), travelers should treat this as high-risk and confirm directly with NRS 202.3673 or Nevada DPS before assuming any airport carry is permitted.

Nevada requires a CCW permit (Nevada or recognized reciprocal) to carry a concealed handgun ON the person or in a container carried by the person while in a vehicle. A firearm elsewhere in the vehicle — not on/carried by the person — or carried openly, does not require a permit.

No Nevada statute prohibits firearms in hospitals.

Nevada requires a concealed firearm permit. NRS 202.3673 restricts carry in certain public buildings (with exceptions), but I could only confirm the section heading, not its full prohibited-place list, from a working source; no rest-area reference was found anywhere I could check, consistent with every other state. Treat the 'yes' as reasonably but not fully primary-source-verified for Nevada specifically.

No Nevada statute found imposing a duty to inform law enforcement of concealed carry, proactively or if asked; permit holders must only carry the permit and ID and notify the issuing sheriff (not police) of address changes.

NRS 202.3657(1): "Any person who is not a resident of this State may apply to the sheriff of any county in this State for a permit."

Nev. Rev. Stat. §202.265(1)(e) bans firearms on school/childcare property; §202.3673(3)(a) specifically prohibits concealed firearm PERMITTEES from carrying concealed on public-school-building premises without specific written permission from school administration. Default is no, absent that written permission.

Nevada's general trespass statute, NRS 207.200, allows notice to be given either by (a) posting 'no trespassing' signs at specified intervals (subsection 2(c), a standard written for outdoor/land posting, not obviously suited to a single interior retail sign) or (b) an oral or written demand to vacate (subsection 2(e)). No Nevada-specific firearms-signage statute exists, so whether a typical interior 'no firearms' sign at a business independently satisfies the posting route, versus requiring a personal demand, is genuinely unresolved from the statutory text alone.

NRS § 268.418: the legislature reserves firearm regulation to itself; cities may only regulate unsafe discharge. Named narrow exception: counties over 400,000 population (i.e., Clark County/Las Vegas) had pre-June 13, 1989 firearm-registration ordinances grandfathered, subject to statutory limits — otherwise Nevada is fully preempted since its 2015 statewide preemption reform.

Nevada has NO current statute prohibiting firearms at election sites. AB 105 (2025 session), which would have prohibited firearm possession in or within 100 feet of an election site (with exceptions for on-duty LEOs, authorized security, vehicle transport, and nearby residents/businesses), passed the Legislature but was VETOED by Gov. Joe Lombardo on June 9-10, 2025 (one of 87 bills he vetoed that session); he also vetoed a similar bill in 2023.

No state-level magazine capacity restriction found.

High-Risk Protection Order, Nev. Rev. Stat. § 33.500 et seq. (2019/2020). Petitioners: family/household members and law enforcement officers.

Nevada statutes (NRS 202.275 for SBR/SBS; NRS 202.350 for machine guns/silencers) prohibit these items generally but build in an exception keyed to federal authorization/registration. Multiple NFA-industry secondary sources consistently describe Nevada as imposing no additional state permit, license, or registration beyond the federal process for suppressors, SBR/SBS, or pre-1986 transferable machine guns, and confirm suppressors are legal for hunting. Primary statutory text could not be directly retrieved in this pass, so this relies partly on consistent secondary-source characterization.

Stand Your Ground by statute: Nev. Rev. Stat. § 200.120(2) — no duty to retreat.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 202.2547 (AB291, effective 2020, implementing the 2016 Question 1 ballot measure) requires private sales to be processed through a licensed dealer for a background check; exceptions for immediate family, law enforcement, and certain temporary transfers.
