Twenty-three states now have CCW reciprocity in Nevada, thanks to the action of Gov. Brian Sandoval. With the signing into law of Senate Bill 175, a Mississippi “Enhanced” permit is now accepted as a valid credential in the Silver State.

Mississippi is one of three states on the Nevada list that has multiple permitting levels; the other two are Idaho and North Dakota. While it’s always nice to see permitted carry expand, we still hope for the day when reciprocity will pass at the federal level. With training requirements and background checks as they are, it seems odd that such hoops nevertheless remain.

Other states whose permits are recognized in Nevada include Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
