Weapons in CMVs - Nevada

In Nevada, concealed carry of a firearm is legal for adults aged 21 and older who are allowed under state and federal law to possess a firearm and who have a state Concealed Firearm Permit, and for non-residents who hold a permit from a state that shares reciprocity with Nevada. This extends to concealed carry within a private vehicle. Local restrictions may apply.

Permits

Permits may be issued to residents and non-residents. Permits are issued by county sheriffs’ offices. Applicants must complete a state-approved safety training course and submit documentation to demonstrate competence with a handgun.

Other weapons

No weapons other than handguns may be concealed carried in Nevada even with a permit.

Permitted non-lethal weapons include:

• Stun guns/tasers
• Pepper spray (some restrictions apply)
• Tear gas (some restrictions apply)
• Bear spray (legal for self-defense against wildlife)
• Less-lethal launchers

Duty to inform

There is no duty to inform in Nevada, but drivers must be prepared to show identification and a valid concealed carry permit if asked by law enforcement.
