Hello all, first time posting here and I'm hoping I could get a little insight that might relive my confusion over the firearm laws in Nevada, esp. Henderson.
Now, I have done due diligence, in that I've spent HOURS reading from various forums and the laws themselves, and yet... I'm still unsure on how to proceed.
Facts:
* Recently got out of the Army after a 7 year stint (Honorably, and deployed twice, if that matters to you.)
* Bought a Glock in Alaska a few days later (And it was nice reclaiming my rights I might add; if you've been in the military, you'll probably know that you lose many of the rights you swore to defend.)
* Moved to Henderson, NV
* I really like commas and ellipses.
So, the question is... now what?
With particular regard to "The Big Guy"'s efforts in untangling the current laws that Henderson has, I'm left on the fence as;
* Personally, and for tactical reasons, I'm not fond of OC, but will if it's --in fact-- legal and necessary given that...
* I don't believe I should have to "Register" my firearm, constitutionally speaking.
* I just got an NV DL and vehicle registration 3 days ago, so I guess I'm now a 'resident' and the clock is ticking on whether to register?
Do I [CAN I] carry open until I decide (and I might add that I've seen no one do it since I've been here)?
Do I HAVE to register as it stands now or risk arrest after 57 days?
Has there been a break inasmuch as a future redaction of Henderson's registration 'laws'?
As an aside, before the Army I was a PA state certified 'Rent-a-cop'. Despite the 24/7 carrying and ****** details in ****** neighborhoods, I received a tremendous amount of training as one of the places I worked was guarding the Pittsburgh Police Academy. During my time there, I got taken under-wing and was often allowed to sit in on many of the classes -- even got OC sprayed and 'Tazed' three times [yes, I'm quite dim] and, yet, made several friends in blue. I have no desire to antagonize the Police, it's just that I can't carry one around with me. :lol:
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks
PS:
I'm tired and that makes me ramble a bit; I'll be more succinct in the future.
