Gun Shop owner handed me my new blue card over the counter the last time I purchased a handgun.

Clark County Handgun Registration
BUT, I see nothing there that STATES the requirement to register a handgun. Is it a requirement or just something that they would “like you to do”? If it is a requirement, where can I find a copy of the statute that outlines that requirement?
12.04.110 Registration of pistols within seventy-two hours.
Any resident of the county receiving title to a pistol, whether by purchase, gift, or any other transfer, and whether from a dealer or from any other person, shall, within seventy-two hours of such receipt, personally appear at the county sheriff’s office, together with the pistol, for the purpose of registering the same with the sheriff. It shall be the duty of the sheriff to register the pistol, and he may, and is hereby authorized to cooperate in any manner he sees fit with other law enforcement agencies, and with licensed dealers, relative to registration of pistols, so that efficient registration shall be secured at minimum cost and duplication. (Ord. 3571 § 3, 2007: Ord. 242 § 11, 1965)
I know dealers in clark have to fill out the blue card registration at the time of purchase but if a clark county resident buys a handgun in lets say reno, will the dealer still register it or will the purchaser have to go to the sheriff themselves?
Thanks
Dealers do that--some even laminate them for you (the police don't laminate), and the little form that goes along with it hardly adds any time to the transaction, but he asked about guns he already has. :confused22:
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.Any handgun capable of being concealed upon one's person must be registered in Clark County. This would be any handgun with a barrel length of 10 inches or less. There is one exception and that is NFA items.
Last year I bought a full auto M11/9 machine pistol. Since it requires the CLEO sign-off anyway, it does not need to have a blue card.
If I wanted to put it on my CFP, I do not have to register it because it is considered by the ATF to be a machine gun and not a handgun even though the manufacturer calls it a machine pistol). I can have it on my permit because Nevada has concealed FIREARMS permits and therefore they are not restricted to revolvers and pistols.
I would not add this gun to my permit because it is strictly considered an offensive weapon and I fear I would be screwed royally if I used it for a defensive shooting outside of my personal residence. However, this is only my opinion about full auto weapons on CCW permits. YMMV.

There is one more thing you can do to keep the local LE out of the picture. I bought all my NFA items through my revocable living trust. No fingerprints, no photos, and NO sign-off by the sheriff. Only the feds know where it is. Same thing for my suppressors.
Oh, and everyone on the Interwebs reading this post.leasantry:
It's 60 days for handgun registration for Clark County. Again, don't pay attention to Teamdigit on SMGs. The statutory scope of your Nevada CFP and recognized States is limited to (specific) semi-auto pistols (by make, model and caliber), revolvers and one or two round derringers. If you qualify with any five or six round revolver, you're authorized to carry one or two round derringers as well as any revolver. Our permit should really be called a concealed handgun or pistol permit, not a firearm permit since the scope is specifically limited to handguns or pistols.The way I read the statute was that (a) if you were a Clark county resident you had to register any handgun within 72 hours; and (b) if you were NOT a Clark county resident you only had to register if you were going to be in Clark County in excess of 60 or 180 days (forget the exact #).
Now, my question is: Since LV no longer recognizes any of my permits from other states and since I am a non resident of Nevada, if I decide to visit Las Vegas on a short holiday, how long will the process take and what will be involved in getting my Nevada non resident concealed carry permit? I see the rules and the applications but it really doesn't tell me what I want to know.
I gather that by attending an authorized training facility I will be provided with everything I need including print cards and prints, etc., for a fee, and simply drop this off at the local constabulary? Do I have to pick it up in person or will they mail it to me?

Florida is the same way. You cannot carry a machine gun on Florida license or one that is honored in Florida per Link Removed.

HEY TEAMDIGIT (Kurt) !
It's me Raymond.leasantry: How are you doing? Long time no see you and your wife. I recently participated the member of USA Carry. :biggrin:
Caught me, did ya?
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?
Having just moved to Henderson, Nv (Clark County) in January, I was astounded by the stupidity of the registration process. I now have a dozen handguns registered in Clark County. My Nevada CCW works everywhere in the state, but in Clark County I must have my blue card on my person.:wacko:
I'd strongly recommend that you do...especially in North Las Vegas. I had a good friend who was detained for over two hours (sitting on a curb) in NLV because he didn't have his blue card.Actually, you do NOT have to carry your blue card on your person while carrying your firearm.
