The Nevada Sheriffs & Chiefs Ass'n will host a NV CCW permit holders forum date on September 10, 2008. Time 1:30 p.m. (Note this was originally scheduled for August 5, but recently changed to September 10.)
This year the event will be hosted in Las Vegas with a videoconference link to Carson City.
Carson City location: Nevada Assembly bldg; exact room unknown right now; perhaps it will be room 4100. But it won't be hard to find - walk in the Assembly front door and check the monitor or ask at the desk.
All CCW permit holders and interested parties are encouraged to attend and make your voice heard on the issues.
If you're unable to attend, you can view/listen to the proceeding via the internet. I don't yet know the exact web address but you can may find it here: Nevada Legislature then click on "Live Meetings - Listen or View"
Last year was the first forum of this kind and it was beneficial.

It would be at the Grant Sawyer Building across the street from Cashman Field on Washington Ave. That's where the last one was held. I was present at the last one and should be present at this one as well.I don't yet know the location in Vegas. But I bet a call to Mr Adams would get it.
If I see it, I'll post it here.
A press release should be forthcoming.The panel will be in the Legislative Building in Carson City. It will be televised to the State Building in Las Vegas at the Legislative Offices and it will be televised over the internet on the Legislative web site.

A change in plans:
A press release should be forthcoming.
They hold it simultaneously in Vegas and Carson City as they do with any other state wide open meeting or forum. The two locations are video conferenced in together. Vegas sees what's happening in Carson City and vice versa. You go to the location that's more convenient for you. Hopefully they won't hold the meeting or forum while I'm inTexas or Florida next month.I may be interested in driving from Las Vegas to Carson City if anyone wants to split gas and a room in Reno.
Otherwise I hope they will have a meeting in Las Vegas eventually.
Do you know if the issue of qualifying with semiautomatics will be a topic of discussion?
That was addressed during the last meeting. Bernie Anderson is the Assemblyperson that shot down that change to the NV CFP statute. As the Assembly Judiciary Chairman, he has the power to table any bills pertaining to NV CFP or firearms in general as they have to go through that committee to make it to the Assembly floor for a vote. Last session it was either take the any revolver or lose recognition due to some last minute work by State Senator John Lee to get Anderson to kick the bill out of Committee by leaving the semi-auto qualification requirements as is.Do you know if the issue of qualifying with semiautomatics will be a topic of discussion?

The only way to get the specific semi-auto pistol qualification requirement to get Anderson voted out of office. Since he is a lame duck if he gets reelected, no telling what chaos he's going to cause this time around.
And he one of the people who can stop it next session. The Judiciary Committee chairs are the most powerful posts in the State legislature with respect to firearm legislation.I certainly agree that Bernie is dangerous and needs to be voted out of office!
However, we'll again try for "any semi auto" in 2009.
The good news: Bernie was the only person in the world that opposed the change. Even the NSCA supported the change.

Even semi-auto and caliber would be a better change over any specific semi-auto. Perhaps it can be changed to that if Bernie is still in office. Another note is for LEOSA, a retire LEO only needs to qualify with any revolver and any semi-auto pistol.
I too watched. Very interesting.
Very good points made.
My questions about what I observed are: Are they really going to push to bring our CCW permit inline with the background checks?
Does the committee really think that the counties are NOT asking for serial numbers? Pershing county does.
Pershing will not let you list more than two weapons on your permit. Pershing only let me "register" my two semi's, and not my revolver, even though I qualified with a revolver. So I carry a copy of my qualification certificate just in case.

While the forum was informative, it did make it clear to me that the NSCA is not totally aware of their members' actions. They are misinformed on some things such as serial numbers and CCW instructor policies.
I was surprised to hear about some of the CCW training changes such as demonstrating ability to handle a firearm. I did not understand the shooting position thing. Although I can still work out a little bit, my knees are not in the best of shape and I have had back surgery. Whatever is required, I will do what I can.
