NRA ILA ALERT- Nevada discontinuing CCW reciprocity with Utah and Florida

Sure. This means nothing for NV residents. The problem is for non-residents who hold UT or FL permits, some of whom hold such permits specifically so they can carry in NV. Gabe Suarez, for example, has said he'll no longer hold classes in NV because of this (also not in and of itself the end of the world, of course, though I would like to take a Suarez class and would not like to drive Arizona's craptastic two-lane "highway" in order to do so). And how will this affect Vegas' ability to retain SHOT?

And the larger point that this is one more dumbass bureaucratic infringement on the right to carry, which will inconvenience law-abiding people to no purpose. Unless DPS can demonstrate that visitors with UT/FL permits were causing problems, all this amounts to is uselessly hassling people for the sake of hassling people. Alaska and Vermont have the only reasonable CCW systems.

To jfrey123, Florida was dropped because their permit is good for seven years, as opposed to NV's five. Those extra two years will result in slaughter that Pol Pot never dreamed of. Slaughter, I tell you!

It's more of the same crap we have to put up with until the courts sort it out, eventually. At least it is not 'right denied'. There IS a path to carry legally, and it is far from insurmountable for the time being.

I think that national reciprocity will be a natural outgrowth of forced right-to-carry restoration in recalcitrant states. In other words, we get incorporation, we get some type of right to carry in ALL of the individual states, then overcoming the barriers to reciprocity are much more possible.

On reflection, I shouldn't have said that. The purpose is revenue. I'd bet (I wonder if any of the casinos have prop lines on these kinds of things?) that this is DPS saying "If non-residents want to carry in NV, they can apply for the NV non-resident permit, and pay the fee."
 
Unless Nordyke or... er, the nunchaku-ninja-guy case, whatever it's called... substantially expand on Heller, I would not favor a federal CCW law. I think the chances that Washington's version would be less restrictive than Carson City's are slim, and I think the Feds would tend to become more restrictive over time.
 
There still is a bill pending on a national reciprocity law that he will have a vote on.

Who's "he"?

You know, the guy who is going to vote. Get with the program, man!

Seriously, national CCW reciprocity has limited significance when states such as Wisconsin, Illinois, and New Jersey, deny it altogether. I make the point, based on the only currently, marginally winnable legislation I've seen so far, which only applies to states who don't deny the right completely.

When we have incorporation, and we have the right to carry protected in every state from the top-down (SCOTUS), then it's a much easier hurdle to get reciprocity.
