Caught you Kurt. :wink: You can only have semi-automatic firearms on your Nevada CFP, remember
NRS 202.3653? Our permits by statutory definition only authorize you to carry the following; specific (by make, model and caliber)
semi-automatic pistols or revolvers and one or two round derringers.
Florida is the same way. You cannot carry a machine gun on Florida license or one that is honored in Florida per

Caught me, did ya?
Go back and reread that statue. 202.3653 is titled "definitions" and although it clearly defines what constitutes a semi auto, it has nothing to do with what can go on your permit.
NRS 202.3653 Definitions. As used in NRS 202.3653 to 202.369, inclusive, unless the context otherwise requires:
1. “Concealed firearm” means a loaded or unloaded pistol, revolver or other firearm which is carried upon a person in such a manner as not to be discernible by ordinary observation.
2. “Department” means the Department of Public Safety.
3. “Permit” means a permit to carry a concealed firearm issued pursuant to the provisions of NRS 202.3653 to 202.369, inclusive.
4. “Revolver” means a firearm that has a revolving cylinder with several chambers, which, by pulling the trigger or setting the hammer, are aligned with the barrel, placing the bullet in a position to be fired. The term includes, without limitation, a single or double derringer.
5. “Semiautomatic firearm” means a firearm which:
(a) Uses the energy of the explosive in a fixed cartridge to extract a fixed cartridge and chamber a fresh cartridge with each single pull of the trigger; and
(b) Requires the release of the trigger and another pull of the trigger for each successive shot.
(Added to NRS by 1995, 2721; A 1997, 1175; 1999, 850; 2001, 2579; 2005, 596; 2007, 3151)
I think this is what you're looking for:
NRS 202.3657 Application for permit; eligibility; denial or revocation of permit.

Any person who is not a resident of this State may apply to the sheriff of any county in this State for a permit on a form prescribed by regulation of the Department. Application forms for permits must be furnished by the sheriff of each county upon request.
2. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the sheriff shall issue a permit for revolvers, one or more specific semiautomatic firearms, or for revolvers and one or more specific semiautomatic firearms, as applicable, to any person who is qualified to possess the firearm or firearms to which the application pertains under state and federal law, who submits an application in accordance with the provisions of this section and who:

NRS 202.350 Manufacture, importation, possession or use of dangerous weapon or silencer; carrying concealed weapon without permit; penalties; issuance of permit to carry concealed weapon; exceptions.

8.
As used in this section:
(a) “Concealed weapon” means a weapon described in this section that is carried upon a person in such a manner as not to be discernible by ordinary observation.
(b) “Honorably retired” means retired in Nevada after completion of 10 years of creditable service as a member of the Public Employees’ Retirement System. A former peace officer is not “honorably retired” if he was discharged for cause or resigned before the final disposition of allegations of serious misconduct.
(c) “Machine gun” means any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot or can be readily restored to shoot more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.
[B(]This is the only sticky wicket in the way the statute is worded)[/B]
(d) “Nunchaku” means an instrument consisting of two or more sticks, clubs, bars or rods connected by a rope, cord, wire or chain used as a weapon in forms of Oriental combat.
(e) “Qualified law enforcement officer” has the meaning ascribed to it in 18 U.S.C. § 926B(c).
(f) “Qualified retired law enforcement officer” has the meaning ascribed to it in 18 U.S.C. § 926C(c).
(g) “Silencer” means any device for silencing, muffling or diminishing the report of a firearm, including any combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in assembling or fabricating a silencer or muffler, and any part intended only for use in such assembly or fabrication.
So here's the deal; my gun falls into both categories as defined by the State. I qualified with the gun in semi auto and that is what was circled on my qualification sheet. I did have to get a blue card for it because if I'm going in as semi auto and concealable then I have to play by the Clark County registration ordinance.
This situation can be treated just like 'open carry'. Nevada is not an open carry state. It's a free carry state.
Open carry is de facto legal because there is no statute specifically prohibiting open carry.
There is no specific statute or verbage that prohibits me from carrying my SMG concealed as long as I'm in compliance with Federal Laws. Therefore, like open carry, it is de facto legal.
Capeesh?
