I don't believe its legal to carry in any of the casinos in the Gulf Coast. Most in Louisiana get upset if you carry a camera in a case! Pick pockets are common in Vegas, so I'm not sure if I'll ever pack in Vegas, although inside the casinos is very safe and allowing us to carry inside just shows how serious Nevada takes tourist safety.NcongruNt wrote:Wow. Good to know. I'm not terribly familiar with Nevada's penal code, but that sounds like the equivalent to a Class C misdemeanor or civil offense.tallmike wrote:The "gun-buster" signs make it illegal to carry in Nevada, but the crime is trespassing. I recently moved here from Vegas and my nevada instructor was a cop who said, "trespassing in nevada is handled with a $25 dollar ticket. If you are in a place that has no gun signs and you are forced to defend yourself then you will get a $25 dollar trespassing fine."NcongruNt wrote:Nice. Hopefully Governor Perry jumps on the opportunity soon. The GF has been talking about going to Las Vegas for a while now.
Looking at the current laws on carrying there, the only places that look off-limits are schools, airports, federal buildings, and any place with metal detectors or "no guns" signs. Interestingly, the law states specifically that the metal detectors or signs have to be at all public entrances for this to be valid.
Private property owners dont really have a way to keep CHL holders out in nevada. You can carry in any casino you choose, just avoid gov't buildings and schools.
Now we just need reciprocity, and I'd feel nice and comfortable going to Vegas.
Vegas is actually cheaper than the trip I used to take to San Antonio even though we have to fly to get there. I don't have to worry about lockback knives ordinances or their chamber of commerce being anti-gun and disarming working folks.
