Beginning today, Arizona concealed weapon permits will no longer be recognized in Nevada, after a unanimous vote by the Nevada Sheriffs’ and Chiefs’ Association.
The decision came after the association was notified last month that Arizona had lowered its arms training requirements substantially below Nevada’s, Executive Director Robert Roshak said.
According to state law, other states must have training standards similar to or stricter than those in Nevada for their permits to be recognized.
A Nevada Department of Public Safety audit of Arizona’s concealed weapon training requirements discovered significant changes were made by the Arizona Legislature that lowered the standards.
Roshak said the changes included removing statutory minimum training requirements and statutory marksmanship and judgmental shooting requirements.
The association reviewed the findings and voted Feb. 28 to end recognition of Arizona concealed weapon permits, Roshak said.
So, does that mean Arizona will no longer recognize Nevada's also?
Arizona recognizes all others states CCW permits but many states don't recognize Arizona CCW permits. Many states feel it is to easy to get a Arizona CCW permit.
Good. It's ridiculous that Arizona lowered the standards. One of the problems with gun ownership in America is too many stupid people are able to get one without any training in it's use, handling, cleaning or storage. I'm all for gun ownership, but set some standards. I'd like to weed out the criminal element and the stupid element.
Agreed entirely Tom - "we need to weed out the stupid element". When "statutory marksmanship and judgmental shooting" are not requirements for carrying a concealed or visible weapon, this is called anarchy, and vigilantism, just the opposite of civilization.
Unless you are an illegal alien. There are almost no laws you have to obey.
Please continue breaking the law.
The Arizona legislature seems to be like the pre school or kindergarten for law makers.
Hahaha. Good. Keep that trash in Arizona. LOL
you do not need a permit in Arizona to carry a conceal gun, it is like Vermont, Alaska...there are no standards, I think they have a ccw for out of state use, etc. The ccw stuff is a waste, permits for guns are like permits for free speech, unconstitutional.
Arizona has never accepted Nevadas' ccws' so its only fair we don't accept thiers.
You do not need a ccw permit in AZ it is like Vermont or Alaska, stuff it in your pocket and go.
You are all missing the point and allowing the 2nd amendment to be butchered,,, The law is simple "Shall Not be Infringed" a CCW permit is infrindgment, registration is infrindgment, tax on gun purchases is infrindgment... common sence says if you want to own a gun then learn how to use it.
A bad guy is not worried about obtaining permits. Wake up!!!!
What difference does it make if Arizona no longer allows Nevada CCW? If I'm not mistaken, you no longer even need a CCW to carry a concealed weapon in AZ.
You don't need a ccw to carry concealed in Arizona...Anyone who is not prohibited (felons, wife-beaters and nuts) can carry concealed except on campus.
Google it.
