How to Register a Gun
Laws involving gun control in Nevada do not insist upon a form of systematic registration or licensure to own or purchase a firearm. The state will, however, require all individuals to undergo a NICS background investigation to qualify to buy a weapon (long gun or handgun), no matter if it is through a private sale or a federally licensed firearms dealer. State measures also stipulate that possession of a short-barreled rifle or shotgun or silencer is prohibited within state lines. Open carry of a long gun or handgun is permitted without a license in areas authorized for hunting and target activity per Nevada Constitution Article 1 Section 11.
How to Obtain a Concealed Firearm Permit
To legally carry a concealed handgun, a resident must first apply for and secure an official Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit. The permit will additionally allow for out-of-state travel inside of states of approved reciprocity. To be eligible for the permit, a resident must be 21 years of age, have evidence of familiarity with firearm safety, and meet federal standards as far as criminal history and mental stability are concerned. To apply for a permit, you will need to obtain the following documents for presentation at the Fingerprint Bureau of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department:
- A filled Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit Application (Form Rev 5-16).
- A certificate to prove completion of an approved firearms safety course from an accepted instructor.
- An active Nevada driver’s license or identification card.
- A fingerprint identification card (made available on-site for an additional fee).

It can take up to 4 months for processing, background check, and notification by mail. Once your license is confirmed it will remain active for a total of five years from the date of issue.
