A Nevada firearm bill of sale is used to record the purchase and sale of one or more guns in a private transaction between a buyer and seller. It is against the law to transfer firearms without conducting a background check on the buyer. The only exception to this rule is when a weapon is transferred between immediate family members. To complete a private transaction, both the buyer and seller will need to go to a licensed arms dealer and complete the ATF Form 4473 to request the background check. The seller will need to verify the firearm dealer’s process and fees for accommodating private sales. If the buyer is approved for purchase, the two parties can complete the payment and transfer the weapon.

Concealed Carry Laws

Statute – §§ 202.3653 – 202.369

Nevada citizens are required to obtain a Carrying Concealed Weapons Permit (CCW) to be able to carry a hidden weapon legally. No permit is required to open carry a firearm. Residents can apply and pay for a CCW at their local sheriff’s office. The minimum age for CCW permits is twenty-one (21), and applicants will be required to have their fingerprints taken.
