Hey, I know there's at least one thread somewhere in here talking about challenging the CC handgun registration program on the basis of its inefficiency, financial burden, ineffectual results, etc., etc. I found a Review Journal article from 2010 http://www.npri.org/publications/state-politicians-take-aim-at-clark-county-handgun-registration that indicates that's kinda been an ongoing pursuit, without much result... maybe with no result. Seems our illustrious County Sheriff and County Auditor have balked at providing any meaningful data (or any data at all) that would be beneficial in determining "the worth" of the program. Here are some "highlights" of that RJ article. I'm sure some of your are familiar with this.
(State Senator John) Lee has challenged the program multiple times. During the 2007 legislative session, he … wrote a letter to the LVMPD requesting justification of the program. However, … Lee's letter was ignored. "It's a service with no service," Lee said. "It's turf building on the [LVMPD's] part and we've never received back any financial data on the program."
(Nevada Policy Research Institute) NPRI also struggled obtaining information from the LVMPD. After following up on an ignored public records request, NPRI was transferred between four departments before the LVMPD (even) acknowledged receipt of the request.
In October (2010), Clark County Commissioner and gubernatorial candidate Rory Reid asked the Clark County Manager's office to arrange an audit of the registration program. He requested information on program appropriations and objective data indicating the program's success, among other items. As of the time of this report (November 2010), the audit is on the "to-do" list of the county auditor.
According to Metro Sergeant Chuck Callaway, a quality assurance audit has not been performed on the registration program in years nor was an audit planned for the near future.
