2021: Nevada Will No Longer Honor Ohio Concealed Handgun License

By Matthew Maruster | June 17, 2021 |

June 28, 2021 UPDATE: Buckeye Firearms Association reported that they received confirmation from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office that Ohio’s removal from Nevada’s reciprocity list was in error. A valid Ohio concealed Handgun License (CHL) is recognized in Nevada just as before. Here is the updated post.

Concealed carriers with permits issued in Ohio, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Virginia will no longer be allowed to carry their handgun in the state of Nevada. The change will go into effect as of July First, 2021.

In particular, Nevada, Reno, and Las Vegas are popular vacation destinations, so this is sure to affect many concealed carriers in Ohio.

Reciprocity and gun laws change more than we may think. It is always essential to know the laws of the states you plan on visiting. The best one-stop shop for reciprocity and state-specific gun and self-defense law is undoubtedly our book Legal Boundaries By State.

It is available as a hard copy and digital copy. The digital copy is regularly updated when laws change, and you get free access to the digital copy if you purchase the physical book. You won’t find a more comprehensive and up-to-date resource.

Great, informative & interactive. Definitely worth taking even if you are just thinking about getting your concealed carry but aren’t sure. The class was able to answer a lot of my questions.

Excellent training! Both the classroom teaching and range time is very friendly and understandable – the teacher, the slides, the videos, all of it is top of the line. I’ve taken a very similar class before, and this one wins hands down. You won’t feel stupid if you don’t know much and ask questions, and you won’t feel like you are wasting your time if you already know a lot about firearms. Highly recommend. I’m sending my friends here.

Obtained my CCW certificate through a course I attended that Cameron conducted in June 2017. I was impressed with his course content and he’s a great classroom and range instructor! Cameron’s course was much more than “cover the basics” and I appreciated his deep knowledge about CCW and handgun skills. In the classroom, we had a variety of activities that made the 6 hours go by quickly and Cameron had a number of handguns available for us to examine and learn about. At the range night, we all got individual coaching and he set up some activities for us to experience misfires and mag changes to practice staying on target. Everyone passed the class and received the CCW Certificate. All-in-all, a great class and fantastic experience! I’d absolutely recommend taking the CCW class from Cameron. Actually… I’d recommend taking any class Cameron offers… I plan to take more as they become available.
