You cannot carry your handgun until you are 21 in the state of Nevada, but you can have the handgun in your home and it is “your handgun” to use as self-defense of your home.
Generally speaking, “open carry” is permissible because Nevada law does not prohibit carrying a firearm openly. A gun in a holster that is readily discernable is permissible. This is why Nevada is considered an open-carry state.
You are also correct about the glove box: it is legal in the state of Nevada to keep a loaded handgun ANYWHERE in your vehicle. That said, if you do not have a CCW permit recognized by the state of Nevada that handgun cannot be concealed on your body.
Except as otherwise provided in NRS 202.2548, an unlicensed person shall not sell or transfer a firearm to another unlicensed person unless a licensed dealer first conducts a background check on the buyer or transferee in compliance with this section.
Both commercial and private gun dealers in Nevada must run universal background checks on purchasers before going through with the gun sale. Background checks may take up to three (3) days. Some of the disqualifications for buying a gun include being either: under 18 (or 21 for handguns);
Mississippi. Mississippi has the weakest gun laws in the country and the highest gun death rate. Lawmakers must stop failing their communities and take action to save lives.
No, Nevada does not require firearm registration.
Most background checks are resolved instantly, but investigations can currently last up to 90 days. There is no evidence that waiting periods reduce suicides, homicides, or mass shootings.
The timeframe for Nevada background checks does vary depending on how you choose to obtain the report. Whereas government access can take weeks to come through, companies such as iprospectcheck typically take just 1-2 days to less than a week for the more remote counties in Nevada.
