Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) Practice Exam

Can non-residents apply for a Nevada CFP?

1. Yes, without any restrictions

2. Yes, but only if their state's permit is recognized by Nevada

3. No, non-residents cannot apply

4. Yes, but they must work in Nevada

The correct answer is: Yes, but only if their state's permit is recognized by Nevada

The correct choice reflects the fact that Nevada recognizes concealed firearm permits from certain states, allowing non-residents to apply for a Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) as long as their home state’s permit is valid and recognized in Nevada. This recognition facilitates cross-state allowances for responsible gun ownership and ensures that non-residents are vetted under the regulations of their home jurisdictions, which may have their own standards for issuing permits. Considerations for other choices clarify the limitations involved. The option stating "Yes, without any restrictions" overlooks the critical requirement that the non-resident’s home state must have a permit that Nevada acknowledges. Similarly, the assertion that "No, non-residents cannot apply" fails to recognize the possibility for those with recognized permits. The idea that "Yes, but they must work in Nevada" implies a condition that is not necessary for obtaining a permit; non-resident applicants are not required to be employed in the state to apply for a CFP if their state's permit is valid.
