Nevada Sheriffs and Chiefs Delay Vote on Major CCW Reform

[Gunco]

During its annual meeting last month, the Nevada Sheriffs and Chiefs Association tabled a motion that would have authorized the group's representatives to send a letter to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) asking them to re-instate the instant background check exemption for Nevada concealed carry weapons (CCW) permit holders. During the 2011 legislative session, the Nevada legislature passed Assembly Bill 282, which requires a background check on CCW permit renewals. AB 282 was signed into law by Governor Brian Sandoval on June 17. Please politely contact your county Sheriff NOW and ask him to move forward with the request to BATFE without delay and without an unnecessary vote. The only vote that counted was the overwhelming mandate from the Nevada Legislature and Governor Sandoval enacting AB 282!
