Nevada Vehicle Firearm Carry Under NRS 202.350

NRS 202.350 governs the unlawful carrying of concealed weapons in Nevada. A loaded handgun may be carried openly in a private motor vehicle, and long guns may be transported either loaded or unloaded so long as they are not concealed on the person. Concealment on the person within a vehicle requires a valid Nevada CCW permit or recognized out-of-state permit. Loaded long guns are prohibited in vehicles on public roads under wildlife regulations during hunting transport situations per NRS 503.165. Local governments are preempted from enacting stricter rules by NRS 268.418 and NRS 244.364, ensuring uniform statewide treatment of vehicle carry.

Concealed carry on the person inside a vehicle without a permit is a category C felony under NRS 202.350, punishable by 1-5 years imprisonment and fines up to $10,000.
