This is quite a shock to read about this on a lazy Sunday morning. I nearly spilled my coffee. Once my eyes regained focus I found the weasel clause "...subject to constitutionally permissible regulations"

The regulations are the sore point because the Constitutional right was already obvious. The goal of regulation is to be sure that only the right people have the right to caary and defend themselves. Everyone else is to be regulated out of the right. OH, the "right people" are only the politicians and their buddies. A small group indeed will be able to keep their defenses. The rest of us will live under the point of a gun as part of the police state ideals that we are being conditioned to accept.
In all I suggest the good folks of Nevada (actually really good people by the way) should still keep an ey on the ACLU and their sponsors.

.....Everything I''ve said in my last post, and especially when you read this book, can be reduced down to lower common denominator in public policies, even to the defense of the home. For criminal are anarchist, they will obey nothing except the fearful respect they have of an armed law abider.

patriot12436 ---- Your other posts remind me of a book I read called "Target Switzerland" by Stephan Halbrook. This is a must read for the greatest historical lesson about self defense as a nation. During WW2, the Swiss were not invaded by Hitlers armies,.....and why was that? It sure wasn''t because the Swiss had anything close to the Nazi military machine. The answer was best said by a Swiss General being interviewed by a German reporter who asked him what he thought he was going to do when twice as many german soldiers come across into Swiss territory as they had set for defense. The Swiss General simply answered "We''ll shoot twice". The German High Command knew exactly what he meant,...and feared it. The Swiss'' national pastime is marksmanship with a rifle. All of them had one and frequently took World Championships at their Schutzenfests. In other words, the Nazis knew their tanks could go say 60k into Switzerland, but who will be the one to go out side and put fuel in the tank? These Swiss could easily kill you from 1000 meters away. Yes, the Swiss were very correct in how they trained their militias. There is nothing scarier for an invading army than a "national sniper nest". The Finnish patriots made dang sure that the Nazis would not forget this lesson. The "Fifth Columnist" in our country today are doing their best to make us forget. I''m glad our nation is like a "Sister Republic" to the Swiss.

My point is i have been in Los Angeles and i have been in Las Vegas. I always felt safer in Vegas. I even worked in the hood regularly and never had a problem in Vegas.

I carry and dont care who knows .ive killed one citizen who thought he had the right man, but turned out to be a fatal mistake for him.without my gun this meth head would have killed me.legal or not i would rather be a live felon than a dead idiot.

Posted by tootall10142 at 07:32 AM : Jul 13, 2008---- Glad your 2nd.AR kept you safe. My brother is a Sheriffs Deputy and some of the stories he tells are wild. He was hauling a head to jail one day and the whole time this dude was in the back he kept accusing him of not being a "real" deputy because his cruiser was a Chevy Lumina instead of a Caprice. The more he talked the more he convinced himself in his own meth fantasy. You got to know my brother on this one for the humor, he went along with the mans fantasy by giving him a ghoulish look in the rear view mirror and said,...."That''s right, I''m not.---- We still have a good laugh recalling the flipped out screaming for dear life that followed all the way to the poky. The select bumper stickers behind my brothers seat for his passengers reading enjoyment didn''t hurt either.....With dudes out and about like that, I''m not giving up my guns to nobody. I''ll do prison by twelve easier than the grave by six.

You seem to be knowledgeable about law, can you tell me Nevada''s stance on assault weapons. I have been loking for it but haven''t found. The cable service here is minimal at best.
