Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

Is CCW difficult to get in NV, or does it depend on what county you're in?

 

My old man got his CCW in Gardnerville (Douglas County). Was a single 8-9 hour class and few plinks at the range. Not sure how much it was.

 

That explains "million hoops".

 

gotta make sure that glock is cali legal

 

Not going to happen in that county.

 

Does Nevada County require good cause? Usually the more rural counties are easier.

Good news is he can get an out of state permit in Nevada.

 

The out of state permit does him no good in CA though since they aren't a reciprocal state.

 

CCW was about 100$ when I did it a while back. Just picked up a 43 for EDC

 

Yeah but he’s in Reno multiple times a week so it does do him good.

 

What are the hand gun laws in cali besides you cant have a mag that holds over 5 rounds or something ridiculous?

 

Believe its 10

 

NWS posted this earlier. I’d take it with a grain of salt as they aren’t necessarily always correct with their timeline.

So what about people coming in from out of state? I like to carry when I camp but I know my CCW is only good in NV... what are the laws for having a pistol in the car while driving in CA? What about while at camp / hiking / fishing? I have googled this before heading out on trips through CA and the answers I find through google always seem so convoluted I always just decide better safe than sorry and leave guns at home.

I obviously need to ask a LEO at some point but you seem knowledgeable and we're on the subject.

 

Was super busy today, but went did my paper work and paid for the glock. I went with the 19 Jberry. I pick it up on the 25th. Thing was real pretty. Can not wait to get out and try it. I will see whats up for the ccw, but also not sure its possible but I am going to try and see if I can make it happen.

 

magpul makes some nice mags for the glock 19. still waiting for them to make mags for .40 cal.

 

I'm not real knowledgeable on most ca gun stuff but I do know you can open carry in remote places, as long as the county population is under like 200k I think. And as long as the mag doesn't hold more than 10 rounds. Just tons of stupid shit. If I remember correctly carrying a concealed weapon there is a misdemeanor, however, possession of a "high capacity" mag (over 10) is a felony. Law makers over there are an ignorant bunch of cocksuckers.
The open carry law may have changed as that was law the one time I backpacked into desolation wilderness, that was like 6 years ago. We both carried, had a couple people on the trail curl their nose and one gal said "hurry, he's got a gun" lol. but no troubles.
