CCW permit problems in Nevada
Posted by David Hardy · 24 October 2005 09:55 AM
Vin Suprynowicz's latest column recounts problems with Nevada CCW permits. One of the benefits of such a permit was ability to buy a firearm from a dealer without waiting for, and paying $25 for, a background check. That benefit has been terminated. BATFE terminated it, apparently, because (1) some sheriffs were allegedly issuing permits without running a background check (I say allegedly because they could not cite a case of this happening) and (2) the permits last five years, so the agency was concerned a person could become a prohibited buyer and still have the permit.
