Concealed Weapon Signs

Among the requirements for issuing a permit are; the applicant must be 21 years of age, has not been convicted of a felony, does not have a serious mental illness, does not have an addiction to alcohol or a controlled substance, and has completed an approved firearm training program. There are certain places such as, schools, government buildings, courthouses, airports, etc. where CCW is forbidden even with a permit. Nevada honors the CCW of various other states.
