NV CCW holder stops mass shooting

Post by thejtrain »

Gist: BG walks into a bar, starts shooting, kills two brothers (cops suspect it's part of a long-standing family feud), wounds two bystanders, stops to reload in preparation for more shooting, CCW holder drops him.

This is two hours outside of Reno, where my dad/stepmother live. The Colorado Springs/New Life Church thing started in Arvada, CO, the very city where my sister/husband/two kids live. I wonder if a CCW-stopped mass shooting happened that I missed (or soon will) in Southern California, where the last vestiges of my family (grandma & brother/family) haven't yet figured out that they need to git?

I guess NV has different laws about CCW in bars. Oh wait, it's a bar and grill

In any case, sounds like the CCW holder prevented a lot more deaths/injuries, good for him.

Nevada's CCW permits are issued by the Sheriff's in the jurisdictions. As such, there are very few restrictions in Nevada on CCW with a permit. Other than some standard locations (prison, court house, airport (all of it) or school) you are restricted from carrying in a public (government owned/occupied) building that is posted. Other than that, it is pretty open and no signage (like 30.06 or 51%) restrictions for private businesses like in Texas

Here are the rules:
NRS 202.3673 Permittee authorized to carry concealed firearm while on premises of public building; exceptions; penalty.

1. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2 and 3, a permittee may carry a concealed firearm while he is on the premises of any public building.

2. A permittee shall not carry a concealed firearm while he is on the premises of a public building that is located on the property of a public airport.

3. A permittee shall not carry a concealed firearm while he is on the premises of:

(a) A public building that is located on the property of a public school or the property of the Nevada System of Higher Education, unless the permittee has obtained written permission to carry a concealed firearm while he is on the premises of the public building pursuant to paragraph (c) of subsection 3 of NRS 202.265.

(b) A public building that has a metal detector at each public entrance or a sign posted at each public entrance indicating that no firearms are allowed in the building, unless the permittee is not prohibited from carrying a concealed firearm while he is on the premises of the public building pursuant to subsection 4.

4. The provisions of paragraph (b) of subsection 3 do not prohibit:

(a) A permittee who is a judge from carrying a concealed firearm in the courthouse or courtroom in which he presides or from authorizing a permittee to carry a concealed firearm while in the courtroom of the judge and while traveling to and from the courtroom of the judge.

(b) A permittee who is a prosecuting attorney of an agency or political subdivision of the United States or of this State from carrying a concealed firearm while he is on the premises of a public building.

(c) A permittee who is employed in the public building from carrying a concealed firearm while he is on the premises of the public building.

(d) A permittee from carrying a concealed firearm while he is on the premises of the public building if the permittee has received written permission from the person in control of the public building to carry a concealed firearm while the permittee is on the premises of the public building.

5. A person who violates subsection 2 or 3 is guilty of a misdemeanor.

6. As used in this section, “public building� means any building or office space occupied by:

(a) Any component of the Nevada System of Higher Education and used for any purpose related to the System; or

(b) The Federal Government, the State of Nevada or any county, city, school district or other political subdivision of the State of Nevada and used for any public purpose.
