Despite the many tragic events in Nevada, the state has enacted strong gun laws. Nevada has passed stricter gun regulations in response to these tragedies. These laws have helped reduce gun violence and the number of shootings. Below is some useful information about the state's gun laws. Here are some highlights:
Background checks are required before gun purchases
Nevada has just passed a new law which will take effect January 2, 2020. Although this may seem like an excellent idea, there is currently no enforcement mechanism in place that can enforce the new laws. They can only be enforced via entrapment. Private gun sales will continue to increase as before. It is possible to still buy guns legally in Nevada if you hold a valid concealed carry permit.
The proposal requires licensed gun dealers to conduct background checks of potential buyers. The information is pulled from the federal government's National Instant Criminal Background Check System. These records are then used to determine whether a person is a criminal and if they are a risk to others. If a background check reveals that someone has a history of violent crimes, the gun dealer can charge a fee to the buyer. If a gun sale goes wrong, the buyer can be charged with both a gross misdemeanor for the first offense and a Category C felony in the subsequent offenses. It is not known how this bill affects the state’s revenue.
Penalties for the possession of a gun at a federal facility
While the laws regarding gun possession vary from state to state, the most common penalty is a year in jail. A maximum sentence of five-years imprisonment can be imposed for a felony conviction. Here are the Nevada penalties for gun possession in federal facilities:
If you are a felon, possessing a gun in a federal facility is a felony. You can face a sentence of one to six years in prison, a $5,000 fine, or both. Depending on the circumstances you could also be in prison for several years. The good news is that you can hire an attorney to fight the charges against you. Depending on what charges you are facing, an attorney can help you defend yourself and protect your rights.
Violation of a Restraining Order can lead to marijuana users facing severe consequences
No matter what your motives, Nevada gun laws do not apply to you if you have been subject to a restraining or similar order. Violation of a restraining order is considered a Schedule I drug by the federal government. A Nevada restraining order violation can land you in jail for up to a year. Pot users are also subject to severe penalties.
A Class C felony is committed if you violate a restraint order. For violating this order, you could be sentenced to two to five-year imprisonment and a $2,000 fine. There are also other penalties. A restraining order prohibits you also from possessing firearms. The penalties for violating an order of restraining are severe so make sure you consider the consequences before breaking it.
