Nevada reciprocity map. States in blue recognize Nevda's permit

As of July 1st 2013 the Nevada permit will not specific guns or types. They are one class and you will only need to qualify on one handgun to be able to carry ALL handguns.

July 1st: Most recent changes for the Nevada permit are ability to carry in WI if your permit is new or renewed after July 1st 2011.

States that honor Nevada are shown in Blue. MI honors permits from residents of the issuing state.

AZ and VT do not require a permit to carry concealed within their states. http://handgunlaw.us

Utah is a well-recognized permit, valid in over 30 states. Good for 5 years and only $51. Renewal through the mail is $15 - no additional course to renew. Utah class is $25 if taken same day as NV, $40 separately, contact us for details.

We will conduct a class almost every Saturday at Scheels or Sportsman's, and a few weekdays per month.. We offer a Sunday class during the weekend of the Big Reno Gun Shows, and occationally in Winnemucca, NV.

Expect that in the future you may be able to carry in all states with a permit from your home state, hopefully from any state. WE will need to elect a pro-gun President first. Keep up the pressure, gun community!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: FREE CCW training for school employees:Armed & Safe is offering free CCW classes for any school employee who can obtain written permission to carry at work, which is allowed under Nevada law. Company owner and lead instructor(18 years), Kelly Main, is an elementary public school teacher (16 years). In light of the tragedy in Connecticut, we feel that the publicity of school staff carrying concealed weapons could discourage planned attacks. When seconds count, police are just minutes away. Staff who know the layout of the school and the people on campus would have a better chance of surviving and eliminating the threat to others immediately.

Most schools already have employees who have a CCW permit.

California/other state instructors (ONLY CA residents are eligible for permits).

THIS IS THE BEST WORDED PRO-GUN ARGUMENT EVER ….and, from a Marine!!!!

As the Supreme Court hears arguments for and against the Chicago, IL, Gun Ban, I offer you another stellar example of a letter, that places the proper perspective on what a gun means to a civilized society.

"The Gun Is Civilization"

According to Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) "Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force . If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it ."

In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and in many cases, the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.

When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force .The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns were removed from society because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat - it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed.People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that's the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.

Then there's the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.

People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don't constitute lethal force, watch too much TV where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier, works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level.The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply would not work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable.

When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded . I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation... And that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act!!"

By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret.)

So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced !!This is worth printing and sharing with others.......right? Remember freedom is not free. Thank our veterans,active military and law enforcement for protecting our rights.
