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!
