Senate Bill 76, passed in the Nevada Legislature and signed into law by Governor Brian Sandoval (R) on May 29, takes effect on Tuesday, October 1.

This new law requires that applicants for a concealed carry permit only qualify with a single handgun of their choosing and allows them to carry both semi-automatic handguns and revolvers. Previously an applicant would be required to qualify with each style of handgun they chose to carry – semi-auto, revolver or both.

The NRA thanks all state Senators and state Representatives who voted for this critical pro-gun reform, and Governor Sandoval for signing SB 76 into law.
