May not matter to many here but does to me as I frequent going to Vegas :))

Cool

Does that include Clark County? State law trumps county law. I thought Clark County was a no gun zone.

Humm Preston got his CCW not too long ago and I think hes in Clark county too, I know several years ago it was even a challenge for retired police to get one.

FYI: I posted the updated Nevada info to the CCW sticky several weeks ago. :)

In August 2011 some new gun laws will be taking effect. One in particular is Arizona CCW Training Reform. The burden on the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to approve CCW training courses, training organizations, and instructors has been removed. In a nutshell, Arizona law now mirros Florida's when it comes to qualifying for a CCW permit. With the new changes to ARS 13-3112, ways to qualify for an Arizona CCW permit includes:

1. Completion of any firearms safety or training course or class that is available to the general public, that is offered by a law enforcement agency, a junior college, a college or a private or public institution, academy, organization or firearms training school and that is approved by the Department of Public Safety or that uses instructors who are certified by the National Rifle Association.

2. Completion of any hunter education or hunter safety course approved by the Arizona Game and Fish department or a similar agency of another state.

3. Completion of any National Rifle Association firearms safety or training course.

4. Completion of any law enforcement firearms safety or training course or class that is offered for security guards, investigators, special deputies or other divisions or subdivisions of law enforcement or security enforcement and that is approved by the Department of Public Safety.

5. Evidence of current military service or proof of honorable discharge or general discharge under honorable conditions from the United States armed forces.

6. A valid current or expired concealed weapon, firearm or handgun permit or license that is issued by another state or a political subdivision of another state and that has a training or testing requirement for initial issuance.

7. Completion of any governmental police agency firearms training course and qualification to carry a firearm in the course of normal police duties.

8. Completion of any other firearms safety or training course or class that is conducted by a Department of Public Safety approved or National Rifle Association Certified Firearms Instructor.

DPS is still the issuing department, and an application and fingerprint cards will still need to be submitted (along with the application fee). They will still run NCIC background check to validate you are legally allowed to possess a firearm.

So, all you legal gun owners who have taken ANY Hunter Safety Course or are/have served in the military, can just do the required paperwork, pay the fee and get your CCW. Just need to show proof!

From another forum.

"First, the majority of the above change was effective last year (2010) and the new change(s) went into effect on 7/20/2011, not August 2011."

July 20, 2011. You are correct. My bad. I foopahed, as the newsletter was for August 2011.

I found my Hunter Safety Certificate.

Sweet! Now, bring your checkbook, go to DPS, get fingerprinted, and fill out your application. You're golden!

If you are an OT like me, get someone who does electronic fingerprints. OT's are a bitch to get a good set of prints from!:)

Had my Application in 8 working days so far.

Nice! I'll take my DD214 down there and get mine then. Yet another benifit of military service.
