Fox rent-a-car on LV Boulevard. I was going to carry into the airport to pick up my in-laws, but my wife didn't want me to risk the hassle. I did go in with the bottom half of my holster clearly exposed...and that got no response.

Not that it will help with the wife, but I have been in baggage claim, the Harley store, and a few others, spent about 1:45 total in the airport and no issues. I was no where near incogneto.... !

I spent most of the afternoon at the salmon cookout at Wild West Guns. Even managed to buy a couple guns in between all the guntalk and ogling of the girls behind the counter. I was dressed up for the hell of it. I had my suit with vest sans coat, and my 1911 on my hip. At one time I helped a couple out with questions about a Feather Arms .22. Finally they told me to wrap it up and they'd take it. That's when I told them I didn't work there. They had assumed I did because I was armed.

I OC'd as usual at the ViMSAR rifle match at DSRPC last Saturday. One of the members (and a former match director) asked me to remove the magazine again. I think he likes me carrying, just doesn't want the group to get in trouble for someone being loaded. I'm sure he knows the chamber stayed loaded.

Heh, yeah the DSRPC general safety rules prohibit carry (and being loaded like that) for non-ROs. Also per the rules, sanctioned competition (USPSA, IPSC) rules modify this. Not sure whether authentic-style weapons (like a 1911 carried at VIMBAR or VIMSAR) carried holstered (as part of period uniform) count :)

A link to 70-page pdf is on safety page of dsrpc website.

Where did you carry today and how did it go?

I was at "Ride Now Power Sports" at 6350 Boulder Hwy. yesterday. Spent time in the service department and on the sales floor for about a half hour. Not only was their no problem but the staff was just as eager to help as when I've been in not carrying. No weird looks and no questions asked. The asst. Sales Manager came out trying to sell me after the sales guy had failed, shook my hand and thanked me for spending time with them that day.

Great experience there.

lol yeah still trying to get used to the keyboard on my new phone. I ran into a nicely dressed gentlemen as I was walking out and he asked "Excuse me, what are you shooting there?" So I told him and talked to him for a minute. Come to find out he owns the sports apparel store in the same complex and is looking for a good pistol to CC. I think it's safe to say that he is an OC friendly business man. I didn't get the name of the store though :/

Ran into another OCer at the little post office shop near my house on lake mead and hollywood. Older gentleman wearing a glock. I opened the door for him and said "Nice to see another open carrier" and he replied "Yeah buddy." He kind of sounded like he would have preferred I didn't say anything though :/

Carried at Kobe sushi at rainbow and sunset. I don't think anyone even noticed since I was wearing all black that day. Also noticed quite a few OC people at the Wild West Guns barbecue on saturday but alas i was CC that day due to not having an OWB holster for my Beretta.

Clark County Shooting Complex

Im gonna hit the Clark County Range Wednesday. Have I read on here before that they DO NOT allow oc? If so, how can that be since they are government property and NV law says we can oc?

Thanks.

I know I could do a search, but this thread is getting too little posts lately. lol

Please do not go to the park. We are asking for a boycott since the county refuses to follow state law and because the county also requires registration. The park does allow oc. We oc when we went to picket last year.

Please explain. What state law(s) are you referring to that they are not following?

I've never been there and they are right down the road from me. I can hear the shooting on quiet overcast days.

state law:
NRS 244.364, NRS 268.418, and NRS 269.222 state that the legislature reserves to itself the right to regulate the transfer, sale, purchase, possession, ownership, transportation, registration and licensing of firearms and ammunition in Nevada, and that no county, city or town respectively may infringe upon these rights. These laws specifically allow localities to regulate the unsafe discharge of firearms, and they also allow Clark County to maintain handgun registration. However, one must be in Clark County for 60 days before registration is required. Also, per NRS 407.0475 the Nevada Division of State Parks may not enforce regulations more restrictive than the state law with regards to firearm possession and self-defense.



County park rules: http://www.clarkcountynv.gov/depts/parks/Pages/rules-regulations.aspx

Prohibited:

Excessively loud music from external or internal vehicle speakers or portable radios. Excessively loud music is defined as music at a level that annoys other park users or park neighbors.

Carrying, possessing, or discharging of any firearms, firecrackers, rockets, torpedoes, or other fireworks, slingshots, boomerangs, or martial arts paraphernalia within any County facility or park without written approval from the Director of Parks & Recreation or designee.

Fires, other than those in picnic stoves, grilles, braziers, or fire pits provided for that purpose or as approved by the Director of Parks & Recreation or designee.

Consumption of alcoholic beverages except in designated areas. It is prohibited to consume alcoholic beverages on roadways, parking lots, playgrounds, swimming pools, athletic fields, tennis courts, community centers and at youth events without prior approval of the Director of Parks & Recreation or designee.

....and that would be why I asked if oc was allowed there and if not, how can they do that. Then Vegassteve said "don't go there but that it was allowed". Then you just quoted that it wasn't. Which is it?

I started this question because I thought I remember reading on here something about the Complex not following the law. IF that is the case, then let me ask, what can they possibly do if you go there carrying since you are completely within the law?

Better yet, anyone got an official response from the county for their illegal policy that they can post here? I've got plans to go tomorrow with another friend. We both open carry. I fully intend to do so there ESPECIALLY because my right to do so is clearly protected by the law.. If I get asked to leave......I don't know. Interesting. Think I'm gonna print out the state law and take it with me.

So what happened from last years picket? Any news coverage?
