Order online, pick it up at a licensed dealer in the valley. Here is exactly how a Clark County transfer runs, and what to bring.
Las Vegas has plenty of gun counters, but no counter carries everything. Buying online widens the shelf to a full distributor catalog and still finishes the same way every legal gun sale finishes in Nevada: with a licensed dealer, Form 4473 and a background check.
You do not need a permit, a license or a registration card. Nevada issues none for buying.
For decades Clark County required every handgun in the county to be registered, and people still call it the blue card. That requirement was repealed in 2015 when Nevada's firearm preemption law took effect, and the county stopped registering handguns. There is nothing to register today, and no county paperwork on top of the federal form.
Preemption also means Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City and unincorporated Clark County cannot write their own rules on buying, owning or transferring firearms (NRS 268.418 for cities, NRS 244.364 for counties). What is legal in Elko is legal on Rainbow Boulevard. Local governments do still control their own buildings and property, and so does any private business.
General information, not legal advice. See our Nevada gun law overview for the statutes, and ask a Nevada attorney about your own situation.
Most valley shooting happens on indoor ranges or at the public ranges south and north of town. Shooting on public land near Las Vegas is limited by how much of the valley is developed or closed, so check the managing agency, BLM or Forest Service, before you drive out with a rifle. Ranges that rent lanes are the simple answer for sighting in a new gun.
Yes. You order here, name a licensed dealer in Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas or anywhere else in Clark County, and we ship the firearm to them. You complete Form 4473 and the background check at their counter.
No. Clark County used to require handguns to be registered, the blue card, and that ended in 2015 when state preemption took effect. There is no handgun registration anywhere in Nevada now.
A valid government photo ID showing your current Nevada address, and the dealer transfer fee. If your license still shows an old address, ask the dealer what supporting document they accept.
Each shop sets its own, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order so there are no surprises, and confirm they accept transfers from an out-of-state shipper.
Usually one visit. The dealer runs the check through NICS and most answers come back in minutes. Nevada has no waiting period, so a clear check means you leave with the gun.
21 for a handgun from a dealer, 18 for a rifle or shotgun. Those are the federal rules and they apply the same in Clark County as everywhere else in Nevada.
No. A permit is for carrying concealed. You can buy without one. See our Nevada CCW guide if you want to carry.
Yes. Nevada sets no magazine-capacity limit and local governments cannot write their own (NRS 268.418, NRS 244.364). Standard-capacity magazines ship to Nevada normally.
No. We are an online store only, so every firearm goes to the licensed dealer you choose and you handle the paperwork there.
