Can a Felon Own a Gun in Nevada? The only way for a felon to own a gun in Nevada is to obtain a pardon. Like federal law, in Nevada, a convicted felon is not permitted to own a gun. It is also illegal for people convicted of a domestic violence crime to own a gun in Nevada.
If a person is convicted of a felony in any jurisdiction within the United States, their right to possess, control or own a firearm in Nevada is forfeited unless they obtain a pardon that specifically restores that right.
18 U.S.C. 922(g) is the federal law that prohibits anyone ever convicted of any felony to ever possess any firearm either inside or outside of his home. The federal punishment for firearm possession by a felon is up to 10 years in prison.
Understanding Nevada's Gun Laws Nevada is a state known for its support of gun ownership and Second Amendment rights. However, the state also enforces strict firearm laws to ensure public safety.
For those with more than one conviction, the court may restore firearms rights two years after completion of sentence for most felonies, or after 10 years for a serious felony (such as murder or sexual assault). For a person convicted of a “dangerous felony” firearms rights may only be restored by pardon.
No. Anyone who has been convicted of a felony crime is prohibited from owning or possessing firearms under Nevada state law. It does not matter if the conviction was from another state or a long time ago. The only exception is if the felony conviction was pardoned.
