How buying a gun in Las Vegas works

Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Nevada law allows.

A slide, barrel or optic plate is not a firearm under federal law and ships to your door; the rules below apply only when you order a complete pistol. Nevada has no purchase permit and no waiting period. Federal age limits apply: 21 for a handgun from a dealer, 18 for a long gun. The firearm ships to the Nevada dealer you name at checkout. The dealer runs the check through the Nevada Department of Public Safety, which charges a small fee, and since 2020 private sales also go through a dealer.

Dealers in these communities all work for Las Vegas-area buyers:

  • Henderson
  • North Las Vegas
  • Boulder City
  • Summerlin
  • Paradise
  • Spring Valley
  • Enterprise

Carrying a gun in Clark County

Nevada requires a concealed firearm permit to carry concealed; open carry is lawful without one. Schools, childcare facilities, public buildings with metal detectors and posted property remain off limits. Permits are issued by the Clark County Sheriff to residents 21 and over who complete an approved course.

Hunting near Las Vegas

Nevada allocates mule deer tags by draw for numbered units, with rifle seasons mostly in October and November and archery earlier. Applications close in the spring, so plan a year ahead for a rifle tag. Centerfire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are legal in any-legal-weapon seasons.

Clark County hunting means drawn mule deer tags in the Spring Mountains and the Muddy range, plus desert bighorn for the lucky few; most Las Vegas shooting is range work.

The Clark County Shooting Complex is county-run rather than state-run, so it is not on our official list, but it is where most locals shoot; the desert north of town is BLM land with informal bays.

Public shooting ranges near Las Vegas

These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you go.

Buying a gun in Las Vegas: common questions

Can I buy a gun online and pick it up in Las Vegas?

Yes. Order here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, Las Vegas or anywhere in Clark County, and we ship the firearm to them. You fill out ATF Form 4473 at their counter and they run the background check.

Is there a waiting period in Nevada?

No. The dealer runs the check through the Department of Public Safety when you complete ATF Form 4473 and you leave once it clears.

Can I carry concealed in Las Vegas without a permit?

No. Concealed carry needs a permit from the Clark County Sheriff. Open carry is lawful.

How do I get a deer tag near Las Vegas?

Apply in the Department of Wildlife draw for the unit around Clark County; rifle tags are limited and go quickly.

Which optic should a city shooter start with?

An RMR-footprint dot on a compact or full-size slide covers indoor lanes, matches and home defence, and most cut slides and plates take it.

What does an FFL transfer cost in Las Vegas?

Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
