Despite the tragic events that have occurred in the state of Nevada in recent years, the state has responded with strong gun laws. Nevada passed stricter gun laws in the wake of these terrible events. This has helped to reduce shootings and prevented the spread gun violence. Below are some details about the state's gun laws. Here are some highlights.
Background checks are required for gun purchase
Nevada has passed a new law that will go into 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. These laws cannot be enforced through entrapment and private gun sales will continue as usual. The good news is that you can still purchase guns in Nevada without the hassle of background checks if you have a valid concealed carry permit.
The proposal will require licensed gun dealers to conduct background checks on potential buyers. This information is pulled directly from the Federal Instant Criminal Background Check Systems. These records are used for determining if a person has a history of criminal activity and whether they pose a risk. If the background check uncovers that the buyer has a history in violent crimes, the gun dealer may charge a fee. If a gun transaction goes wrong, the offender could be charged for a gross misdemeanor and a category A felony for each subsequent offense. It is unknown how this bill may affect state 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 felony conviction will also result in a maximum sentence of five years in jail. 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 could face a sentence of up to six months in prison, a $5,000 penalty, or both. Depending on the circumstances, you may also be incarcerated for several years. The good news? You can hire an experienced attorney to help you fight the charges. The charges against you will affect the ability of the attorney to defend you and your rights.
For marijuana users who violate a restraining or similar order, there are penalties
No matter what your motives, Nevada gun laws do not apply to you if you have been subject to a restraining or similar order. To the federal government, marijuana is a Schedule I substance. Violations are considered a felony. Nevada's restraining orders can lead to jail sentences of up to one year. You could also face jail time for marijuana users.
You can be charged with a Class C felony if a restraining Order is violated. 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. Violation of a restraining or is punishable by harsher penalties.
