abc,
I agree with you on that being a scam. It doesn't cost near that much to administer the program. They just like the way it raises money.

Yep, good old Nevada! Why, you can still go up in the mountains there and pan a whole poke-full of gold nuggets, ride into Reno, hit a saloon for a snort or two, grab hold of one of them fancy women and sleep in the next morning. All that while totin' your irons.
I believe Arizona also is gun friendly if I'm not mistaken. I understand that anyone who can legally own a gun may carry it openly, but that concealed carry requires a license. Anyone know if that is actually true?

Yes, Arizona is an open carry state which is not to say one routinely walks into Wally World packing a six shooter on your belt. Legal, yes, but I would advise against it.

Here is some North Las Vegas code on CCW:
http://municipalcodes.lexisnexis.com/codes/nolasvegas/index.htm
9.32.020 Permit--Issuance.
The chief of police shall have the power to issue to any person who, in the judgment of the chief of police, shall have such privilege, a written permit to carry concealed any of the weapons specified hereunder. Such permits shall be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are used. No permit shall be granted for a longer period than twelve (12) months. Each such permit shall state the name, address, and occupation of the person to whom the same is issued, and the date of its expiration and shall specify the kind and description of weapon authorized to be carried or concealed by such person. (Prior code ? 7.22.020)
So, you can have a CCW that is completely invalid in North Las Vegas. and:
9.32.080 Deadly weapon prohibited in vehicle--Exceptions.
It is unlawful for any person to have in his possession in any automobile, truck, motorcycle, or any other type of vehicle any dangerous or deadly weapon, but this restriction shall not be deemed to prohibit the carrying of ordinary tools or equipment carried in good faith for uses of honest work, trade or business, or for the purpose of legitimate sport or recreation. (Ord. 596 ? 1, 1978: prior code ? 7.22.070)
So you can't even drive through North Las Vegas with a gun in your vehicle.
I think you now understand why the rest of Nevada would like to get rid of Las Vegas...and Harry Reid. Most of the laws you stated are Las Vegas municipal laws not state laws.
p.s. Welcome to the forum, and FWIW I certainly empathize with you.

Very true. But according to the recent Nevada primary, 71% of Nevada population lives in Clarke County, so those laws affect a lot of people and everyone who visits there.
Thanks for the welcome.
Don't tell anybody, but new Mexico is much friendlier than Arizona; there's no need to hide your irons, remove your spurs, brush the dust off your chaps, or valet park your pony most anywhere; and there's only 3 places they don't allow guns- Courthouses, Bars and Schools.
They allow concealed carry, but openly admit that only cowards hide their guns.
I'm sure there's still a machine gun rental range there also.
