Simple. The state can pass a preemption law, NOT grandfather any
local, city or county to have gun laws. Only the state legislature can
make the laws.

That will get around the school boards. There!

Pretty close. There has been a 2nd level controversy on that issue: it's
called "preemption." Some cities curtail guns citing it as it's right to do
so, gun regulations are not the exclusive jurisdiction of the states. Gun
rights folks have been successful in a number of states in instituting a law
wherein only the state government can regulate guns.

For example, the gun ban that was in place at the University of Colorado was
struck down by the courts under the doctrine of state preemption. A person
with a concealed carry permit may now carry a concealed firearm at the
school.

In my state, legislators finally got fed up with cities banning guns in
libraries and what-not that they passed a law PROHIBITING any governmental
agency from regulating guns on any property the agency owns or controls.
This includes libraries, parks, recycling centers, city hall, police
stations, airports, etc.


I think we mean the same thing about preemption.

Nevada:

"NRS 244.364 Limited authority to regulate firearms; restrictions
concerning registration of certain firearms in county whose population
is 700,000 or more.

1. Except as otherwise provided by specific statute, the
Legislature reserves for itself such rights and powers as are
necessary to regulate the transfer, sale, purchase, possession,
ownership, transportation, registration and licensing of firearms and
ammunition in Nevada, and no county may infringe upon those rights and
powers. As used in this subsection, “firearm” means any weapon from
which a projectile is discharged by means of an explosive, spring,
gas, air or other force.

2. A board of county commissioners may proscribe by ordinance or
regulation the unsafe discharge of firearms.

3. If a board of county commissioners in a county whose
population is 700,000 or more has required by ordinance or regulation
adopted before June 13, 1989, the registration of a firearm capable of
being concealed, the board of county commissioners shall amend such an
ordinance or regulation to requi

(a) A period of at least 60 days of residency in the county
before registration of such a firearm is required.

(b) A period of at least 72 hours for the registration of a
pistol by a resident of the county upon transfer of title to the
pistol to the resident by purchase, gift or any other transfer.

4. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 1, as used in this
section:

(a) “Firearm” means any device designed to be used as a weapon
from which a projectile may be expelled through the barrel by the
force of any explosion or other form of combustion.

(b) “Firearm capable of being concealed” includes all firearms
having a barrel less than 12 inches in length.

(c) “Pistol” means a firearm capable of being concealed that is
intended to be aimed and fired with one hand.

(Added to NRS by 1989, 652; A 2007, 1289; 2011, 1109)

Laws on the books before 1989 still stand but are now going through
some challenges. Those laws were passed when the Mafia came to Las
Vegas years before. (handgun registration). Only two counties here
require registration of hand guns (Las Vegas & Reno).

Challenges:

- guns in city parks and or county parks

- North Las Vegas prohibiting concealed carry, which is against the
law
