Assembly Bill 282, sponsored by Assembly Speaker John Oceguera (D-16), passed in the Assembly last week by a 40 to 2 vote. As introduced, AB 282 is a four point pro-gun omnibus measure that would: 1) ensure that Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) permit holdersâ names and addresses remain confidential; 2) revise Nevada state law to allow the carrying of any semi-automatic pistol, like you can with a revolver, once you have qualified for a CCW permit with a semi-automatic pistol; 3) allow carrying of firearms in Nevada state parks; and 4) statutorily mandate a background investigation (which is currently being done by all Nevada sheriffs) for CCW permit renewals for the purpose of reinstating the NICS exemption for Nevada, thus ensuring that permit holders do not have to go through a point-of-contact check for every firearm purchased, as long as the permit is valid.
