When Carrying a Gun is Illegal
Concealing a firearm on your person or even on your property requires you to obtain a special permit. Oftentimes, you will need to prove that you are of sound mind and have a clean criminal record. There are certain situations where it is outright illegal to carry a firearm, whether you have a concealed weapons permit or not.
In Nevada, you may not possess a firearm:
- On school property
- In most government facilities
- In an airport
- While intoxicated
Weapons Considered Unlawful
You should also be aware of certain weapons that are considered strictly illegal to possess, concealed or not. Although, the firearms and firearm accessories on the following list may be used in certain circumstances – such as on a dedicated firing range – and with the right permits. If you possess or wish to possess one of these items, you should check with your criminal attorney first to ensure you are within the limits of the law.
Weapons usually considered illegal in all scenarios include:
- Machine guns
- Silencer (suppressor) attachments
- Brass (metal) knuckles
- Hidden blades (switchblades)
- Blackjacks and other clubs
