Scary part is that there could be a bunch of potentially "dangerous" people getting a "pass" due to the error. If I remember correctly, the place you get your prints done also does prints for real estate agents, convicted sex offenders, parolees, public employees, etc. It would be pretty bad if some convicted criminal doesn't get registered properly due to the SNAFU with the finger prints.gf
This is good as it keeps them within the law - "shall issue within 120 days." And the permit can be revoked if necessary.LVMPD CCW Detail will be issuing temporaries if the fingerprints do not come back before the 120 day statutory issuance or denial period from the date you applied

Gotta agree with the above.It would be pretty bad if some convicted criminal doesn't get registered properly due to the SNAFU with the finger prints
Public employees are done internally by the respective public employer, I know that's the case for the school district. Clark County school police and personnel have their own live scan machines and direct connection to NV DPS. Henderson and North Las Vegas most likely do their own fingerprinting for their own employee applicants. The County themselves may refer applicants to the LVMPD Fingerprint Bureau.Scary part is that there could be a bunch of potentially "dangerous" people getting a "pass" due to the error.

Typically when someone is registered they have already been booked and convicted of the crime. If anything it exposes the law enforcement agency to civil liability for not properly administering Megan's law.And the scary part is that some unscrupulous lawyer or judge could use an incident like that to let a heartened criminal off on some silly technicality.

They're electronic. They got lost somewhere in cyberspace on the LVMPD side. The answer I have gotten thus far is that the Fingerprint Bureau got a "system error" transmitting the prints to NV DPS and that all CFP applicants fingerprinted during the month of October 2008 were affected.That's what I was getting at, but as Netentity discovered, the SNAFU only affected CFP and work applicants. It's funny how they managed to not "lose" the fingerprint records for the sex offenders and other "dangerous" people. It would be very scary if "Megan's Law" is not properly administered because some sex offender's prints were lost.
It seems to me that they're targeting a specific group of people. What would be really messed up is that after an "investigation", the fingerprint records turn out to have been misfiled or are found in some idiot's desk drawer.
Which is the way it should be.As netidentity said, This is good as it keeps them within the law - "shall issue within 120 days." And the permit can be revoked if necessary.
Not many. Less than perhaps 0.1% of all applicants according to Florida in their about 20 years experience of being shall issue. Those are Darwin award candidates waiting to happen.How many "bad guys" apply for a CCW permit???
Absolutely.By definiition, criminals do not worry about, nor comply with, laws.
Nope. Also Nevada is an open carry State and it's legal to conceal it in your vehicle. So how do they verify that someone carrying openly or having one concealed in their vehicle is legal for them to have?I'll even go one (big) step further. Why do we need CCW permits in the first place? Vermont has had no such law - since statehood over 200 years ago! And Alaska went to "No permit necessary" a few years ago. Have you EVER heard of a "problem" in those two states???
Nope.Are Nevada citizens somehow less trustworthy than citizens in Vermont and Alaska???
What needs to happen is restoration of our NICS exemption and prohibited areas systematically repealed. There is no reason why NV cannot be like UT with respect to prohibited areas with an Alaska style CCW law with permits being optional for recognition/reciprocity, NICS exemptions and Federal GFSZA exemptions.Indeed, methinks the 2nd Amendment to our great Constitution IS our CCW "permit."
Having said that, however, I DO support our "shall issue" CCW permit system, pending restoration of our true 2nd Amendment rights.
