Las Vegas update

Ok, we just got back from our trip last night at about 1:30am. I want to relate to you fine folks some of the fine points of this trip.First, airport security sucks. When at the airport in LV for the return trip, I set off the walk-through metal detector as I always do. The non-english speaking rental cop started going over me with the wand. I had on a military issue web pants belt and metal buckle, which he aparently thought was a firearm as he had me remove the buckle and pass it through the x-ray machine. As I went to do this, the older (wiser) female operating the machine asked me why I was passing this through, so I explained it to her. She gave the wand-guy a nasty look for me. Anyway, I got my belt buckle back on, and he just waved me through, forgetting that he had stopped his wand waving at the buckle and had not ventured south of there. I could have had a .357 or .45 strapped to my ankle and they would never have known. After this, at the gate, some teenage girls set up shop with metal detecting wands and start pulling people out of the line boarding the aircraft. I wished they would have selected me or my wife just so I could see what kind of security certification, clearance, or training they would have had. (In Virginia, where I work, private security personnel are required to carry their state certificaton card at all times while on duty and be able to show it upon request). None is my belief, and if that had proved to be true, there would have been a nice scene caused.Well, enough of that. Some of the high points of this trip are: I came back with more money than I left with; so did my wife; and I found a place to rent and shoot full auto SMG'S. The Gun Store on Tropicana (www.thegunstorelasvegas.com). I unloaded an MP-5 and an AR-variant in 9mm. I also found out that out of state residents can get a Nevada concealed carry permit. Won't help me much in Maryland, but it's nice to know. That's all for now.

    Mark I live in Vegas glad you enjoyed your stay here and yes the Gun Store is great but the info about the out of state CCW may not have been complete, Yes an out of state resident may get a CCW for Clark county but ONLY if the persons state of residence has a Reciprocity agreement with Nevada, and the applicant has a valid CCW in his/her home state. I have a CCW and did a paper on them in my Criminal Justice class.

    JWolf,I believe Nevada recently changed the law. I know that California residents can get a nonresident Nevada permit.
