"If you are a Clark County resident all firearms listed on the permit must be registered with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department."

But no need to register handguns if you are NOT a Clark County resident - unless you stay for 60 days.

A Note to Out of State Visitors:

Federal law prohibits dealers from selling new or used firearms to persons who are not a legal resident of the state in which the sale is made.

So, don't think you can pick up a gun or two as you breeze through town. It doesn't work that way.

You can order guns from Nevada dealers, but they must be shipped to a licensed gun dealer in your home state. You must compete the transaction, actually purchasing the gun, in a face to face transaction with your home state dealer.

Sales Between Individuals

An individual who does not possess a federal firearms license may not sell a firearm to a resident of another state without first transferring the firearm to a dealer in the purchaser's state.

[Bill of Rights]

I will check on the unConstitutional federal part of this; I don't know about NV state law, but IIRC, it is legal for even a FFL to sell a long gun to someone who lives in a bordering state if the firearm is legal in both states and the purchaser is not prohibited. I do not believe it is legal to sell a handgun even private party to someone who is not a resident of the state of residence of the seller.

More to follow, with citation if possible.

OK, at the moment, ATF.gov is unavailable, possibly maintenence on the site, but I found this, quoted from there, on another site. Will verify for myself when ATF site is back up:

From the Firearms FAQ: http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/index.htm

"A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee's premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides."

This seems to be confirmed by NRA also:

http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws/Federal/Read.aspx?id=60

"The following restrictions apply to firearms acquired through purchase, trade, receipt of gifts, or by other means.

From Dealers

Provided that federal law and the laws of both the dealer's and purchaser's states and localities are complied with:

An individual 21 years of age or older may acquire a handgun from a dealer federally licensed to sell firearms in the individual's state of residence
An individual 18 years of age or older may purchase a rifle or shotgun from a federally licensed dealer in any state
It shall be unlawful for any licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer to sell, deliver, or transfer a firearm unless the federal firearms licensee receives notice of approval from a prescribed source approving the transfer.

Sale of a firearm by a federally licensed dealer must be documented by a federal form 4473, which identifies and includes other information about the purchaser, and records the make, model, and serial number of the firearm. Sales to an individual of multiple handguns within a five-day period require dealer notification to the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Violations of dealer record keeping requirements are punishable by a penalty of up to $1000 and one year's imprisonment.

Sales Between Individuals

An individual who does not possess a federal firearms license may not sell a firearm to a resident of another state without first transferring the firearm to a dealer in the purchaser's state. Firearms received by bequest or intestate succession are exempt from those sections of the law which forbid the transfer, sale, delivery or transportation of firearms into a state other than the transferor's state of residence."

Be aware, I quote NRA not because I consider them authoritative but because their site is presently available. Obviously, they have lawyers to research this stuff and are not likely to post untrue info, but as they are not an official gov't site, I grade the reliability of their info as perhaps "B" at most.

Good work Bill! That answers the question. So, you tourists, don't count on coming to one of our famous Las Vegas gun shows, and going home with a trunk full of guns purchased from individual sellers.

The "B" questions, re: unlicensed persons should cover most of these issues.

Personally, I still maintain that "shall not be infringed" is part of the Constitution and "All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void." Why is this so hard to understand?

Um, don't they just list "revolvers" on the permit if you qualify with a revolver.

On CCW permits, yes, they list "Revolvers" and autoloaders are listed by make, model, & caliber.

But that was NOT the question.

The question was about handgun registration. IF you are a resident of Clark County, you are required by ordinance (quoted in this thread) to register your handguns within 72 hours.

IF you are NOT a resident of Clark County, you only need to register your handguns IF you stay for 60 days or if you become a resident.
