Nevada will no longer Honor Florida Permits as of 7/2/09

[gbrown221]

Just received the following correspondance.

Good afternoon, Mr. ******:

We are aware of this change, and we will be updating our webpage first thing tomorrow morning. (He is refering to KS honoring FL now)

Unfortunately, we will also be removing Nevada from our reciprocity list as of tomorrow. We were notified yesterday by Nevada officials that as of July 1, 2009, the State of Nevada would no longer honor Florida concealed weapon licenses. Therefore, effective tomorrow, we will no longer honor concealed weapon licenses issued by the State of Nevada. The reciprocity provision set forth in 790.015, Florida Statutes, requires only that another state honor Florida licenses, and we then automatically reciprocate. Insofar as Nevada will no longer honor Florida licenses, we were compelled to remove them from our reciprocity list.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Sincerely,

Ken Wilkinson
Management Analyst

Nevada Will No Longer Recognize Utah and Florida Right-to-Carry Permits

Thursday, June 25, 2009

Effective, July 1, Nevada will no longer recognize Right-to-Carry permits from Utah or Florida. They have, however, added Ohio and West Virginia as recognized states.

Each May, the Nevada Department of Public Safety conducts an audit of states and their Right-to-Carry laws for the purpose of determining which states it will recognize.

The Nevada DPS dropped Utah because it does not have a live fire requirement, which is a part of Nevada's training requirements. When the Nevada DPS first began its state by state audit of Right-to-Carry laws in 2007, DPS admitted to NRA representatives that they overlooked the live fire training requirement. After further review, they determined that Utah wasn't similar enough to keep it on the list of recognized states.

Florida will no longer be recognized because its permits are now valid for seven years instead of five.

The Nevada DPS and the Nevada Sheriffs and Chiefs will be hosting their annual Right-to-Carry forum in Carson City in August with a teleconference feed to Las Vegas. We encourage all members to attend this informational meeting. Details will be forthcoming.

Please continue checking your email and www.NRAILA.org for updates
