      NAC 202.020  Application for permit. (NRS 202.369)

     1.  In addition to the requirements of subsection 2, the application form for a permit to carry a concealed firearm must contain the following sections, which must be in substantially the following form:

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

     The sheriff shall issue or renew a permit to carry a concealed firearm for no more than two specific firearms to any person who is qualified to possess a firearm under state and federal law.

     A permittee shall carry the permit together with proper identification whenever he or she is in actual possession of a concealed firearm. Both the permit and proper identification must be presented to a peace officer upon request.

     Except as otherwise provided in NRS 202.265 and subsections 2 and 3 of NRS 202.3673, a permittee shall not carry a concealed firearm into:

     1.  Any facility of a law enforcement agency;

     2.  A prison, county or city jail or detention facility;

     3.  A courthouse or courtroom;

     4.  Any facility of a public or private school;

     5.  Any facility of a vocational or technical school, or of the Nevada System of Higher Education;

     6.  Any other building owned or occupied by the Federal Government, the State or a local government; or

     7.  Any other place in which the carrying of a concealed firearm is prohibited by state or federal law.

     Unless suspended or revoked by the sheriff, a permit expires on the fifth anniversary of the permittee’s birthday, measured from the birthday nearest the date of issuance or renewal. If the date of birth of a permittee is on February 29 in a leap year, for the purposes of NRS 202.3653 to 202.369, inclusive, his or her date of birth shall be deemed to be on February 28.

     A permittee shall notify the sheriff who issued the permit, in writing, within 30 days if his or her permanent address changes or if the permit is lost, stolen or destroyed.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

     The sheriff shall conduct an investigation of an applicant, including a check of the applicant’s fingerprints, to determine if the person is eligible for a permit.

     Except as otherwise provided in NRS 202.3657, a person is eligible to carry a concealed firearm if he or she:

     1.  Is a resident of the State of Nevada and of the county in which the permit is sought;

     2.  Is 21 years of age or older;

     3.  Is not prohibited from possessing a firearm pursuant to NRS 202.360; and

     4.  Demonstrates competence with a firearm by presenting a certificate or other documentation which shows that the applicant has successfully completed a course approved by the sheriff, or successfully completed a course in firearm safety offered by a federal, state or local law enforcement agency, community college, university or national organization that certifies instructors in firearm safety. Any such course must include instruction in the use of each firearm to which the application pertains and in the laws of the State of Nevada relating to the proper use of a firearm.

     The sheriff shall deny an application or revoke a permit to carry a concealed firearm if the sheriff determines that the applicant or permittee:

     1.  Has an outstanding warrant for his or her arrest.

     2.  Has been judicially declared incompetent or insane.

     3.  Has been voluntarily or involuntarily admitted to a mental health facility during the immediately preceding 5 years.

     4.  Has been habitually using intoxicating liquor or a controlled substance to the extent that his or her normal faculties are impaired. Such use is presumed if, during the immediately preceding 5 years, the applicant or permittee has been convicted of driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor or a controlled substance pursuant to NRS 484C.110, or has been ordered by a court to enter a program for treatment of drug or alcohol abuse pursuant to NRS 458.290 to 458.350, inclusive.

     5.  Has been convicted of a crime involving the use or threatened use of force or violence punishable as a misdemeanor under the laws of this State or any other state, territory or possession of the United States at any time during the immediately preceding 3 years.

     6.  Has been convicted of a felony in this State or under the laws of any state, territory or possession of the United States.

     7.  Has been convicted of a crime involving domestic violence or stalking, or is currently subject to a restraining order, injunction or other order for protection against domestic violence.

     8.  Is currently on parole or probation from a conviction obtained in this State or in any other state or territory or possession of the United States.

     9.  Has, within the immediately preceding 5 years, been subject to any requirements imposed by a court of this State or any other state or territory or possession of the United States, as a condition to the court’s withholding the entry of judgment for a conviction of a felony or the court’s suspending a sentence for the conviction of a felony.

     10.  Has made a false statement on any application for a permit or for the renewal of a permit.

     The sheriff may deny an application or revoke a permit if he or she receives a sworn affidavit stating articulable facts based upon personal knowledge from any natural person who is 18 years of age or older that the applicant or permittee has or may have committed an offense or engaged in any other activity specified in subsection 3 of NRS 202.3657 which would preclude the issuance of a permit to the applicant or require the revocation of a permit pursuant to NRS 202.3657.

     If an application for a permit is denied by the sheriff, the sheriff shall send the applicant written notification setting forth the reasons for the denial. The applicant may seek judicial review of the denial by filing a petition in the district court for the county in which the applicant resides.
