What action should a Nevada CFP holder take if their permit is lost or stolen?

Nothing, as the permit is in the system
Report the loss to the issuing sheriff’s office immediately
Wait for it to expire and then reapply
Apply for a replacement at any DMV

The correct answer is: Report the loss to the issuing sheriff’s office immediately

The correct action for a Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit holder when their permit is lost or stolen is to report the loss to the issuing sheriff’s office immediately. This is essential because it helps protect the permit holder from potential misuse of their permit by another individual, which could lead to legal complications. Prompt reporting allows law enforcement to be aware of the situation and assists in documenting the loss. While the permit is indeed recorded in the system, it is not sufficient to rely solely on that, as the potential for unauthorized use of a lost or stolen permit remains a significant concern. Waiting for the permit to expire or applying for a replacement at a DMV also does not address the immediate risks associated with a lost or stolen permit. Thus, contacting the issuing sheriff's office becomes the most responsible and legally prudent action.
