Default Concealed Pistol Permit (no I am just happy to see you)

So what's up with concelaed pistol laws. I know you can get a permit if you are not a gangster how about out of state permits when visiting?
I also noticed that if you carry a revolver the permit is for any of your revolvers, but if you carry a semi auto it's for an individual gun, wtf? Am I misinformed?

Don't know too much about gun laws, but my advice would be to not go anywhere in Las Vegas where you would need a gun.

If you must, get 1 permit for your favorite gun. It's all you should need.

You can get a nonresident permit. Also, Nevada has reciprocity with a number of other states.

It used to be that way. For permits issued after July 1st (IIRC - not positive on the date), qualifying with any revolver allows you to carry any revolver, and qualifying with any semi-auto allows you to carry any semi-auto.

Yeah, Lord knows that violent crime only happens when you most expect it.

It's also a known fact that firearms never fail so backup guns are definitely not necessary. Ask any member of the military or law enforcement communities.

Unfortunately NV does not honor WA permits.

I want to get my non-resident CCW in vegas. Personally, I never fired a gun but I would think getting a revolver CCW permit will give you the extra option of owning one if you ever decide on it. Might as well just get it to have it.

Generally speaking, a revolver is as reliable as a hammer. You don't have to worry about racking a slide, fumbling with a safety, or experiencing a casing stovepipe. You just point and shoot - a desirable quality in a high stress situation.

I'll take your word for it, it's been probably a decade since I've even picked up a revolver. As far as everything else you said, I'm not some hardcore fanboy, but it's why I love glocks. No safety, point and shoot. Ive had two misfires in a few cases of ammo, maybe ~4000 rounds and that was when I first got the gun and was getting used to it. Pull the trigger like you mean it and you wont have any problems.

I also really like HKs and Sigs, but the Glock is what lives in the night stand drawer.
