The Nevada Division of State Parks will next month hold a public hearing on the Nevada Administrative Code’s (NAC) change of regulation to allow for the carrying of firearms in state parks.
The statutory changes were mandated in Assembly Bill 282, a pro-gun omnibus measure that passed with bipartisan support during the 2011 legislative session.
The Division proposes to amend NAC Chapter 407, Section 105 to remove prohibitions against possession of a firearm in state parks and to clarify prohibitive firearms discharge to specifically recognize the right to self-defense.
The public hearing will be held on Wednesday, October 12, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. in Carson City at the Richard Bryan Building, 901 S. Stewart Street on the 2nd Floor (Tahoe Hearing Room). The hearing will also be video-conferenced from the State Parks Southern Region office located at 4747 Vegas Drive in Las Vegas.
