Unlike Florida, our state preemption has no penalty clause.
A bark without bite then. Great.
I just drafted and sent the following letter to the Governor. I will also be sending it to the State Legislature and PLEASE, if
ANY OF YOU agree, please do the same:
Mr. Governor,
Per NRS 268.418, ...
1. the Legislature reserves for itself such rights and powers as are necessary to regulate the transfer, sale, purchase, possession, ownership, transportation, registration and licensing of firearms and ammunition in Nevada, and no city may infringe upon those rights and powers...
2. The governing body of a city may proscribe by ordinance or regulation the unsafe discharge of firearms.
3. If the governing body of a city in a county whose population is 700,000 or more has required by ordinance or regulation adopted before June 13, 1989, the registration of a firearm capable of being concealed, the governing body shall amend such an ordinance or regulation to require:
(a) A period of at least 60 days of residency in the city before registration of such a firearm is required.
(b) A period of at least 72 hours for the registration of a pistol by a resident of the city upon transfer of title to the pistol to the resident by purchase, gift or any other transfer....
So, my questions are:
1. Why is Las Vegas Metro PD still being allowed to post and enforce their "No Weapons" signs on the front doors of every police station?
2. Why are Clark County and the City of Las Vegas still allowed to prohibit open carry of firearms in City and County Parks?
3. Can I expect the State Police (NHP) to protect me from being accosted should either of those entities send local police to enforce their illegal ordinances?
4. Can you please put a stop to these illegal actions by Clark County, City of Las Vegas and Las Vegas Metro PD?
The Pro 2A community is very concerned about these issues. We respect State law and OUR rights. We are preparing several open carry demonstrations (with media coverage) to bring attention to these illegal actions by local governments as they continue to violate State law. Perhaps action by your office could avoid all of that.
Thank you.
