HI5-O Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 While visiting the Las Vegas area gun stores looking for pistol mags found a store that has a policy of asking anyone interested in pistol mags..."where you from?" Told them I was from Hawaii and they said, "Oh, we can't sell them to you. They're illegal" Informed them they are not illegal in Nevada and they said, "But you're going to take them back with you" I said there are exemptions for law enforcement and they said, "It doesn't matter, can't/won't sell them to you" Asked if this was Nevada law or store policy...."It's my store and policy" Ok, never will patronize that Las Vegas "gun store" ever again. On a good note, found a store that takes care of law enforcement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no laws requiring us to ask a buyer where he is from if he is buying non 4473 items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipscbob Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Unfortunately, this has become VERY common in Nevada. I see it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 That really is BS! Maybe they think the NY mayor and his gang are video taping them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 That really is BS! Maybe they think the NY mayor and his gang are video taping them +1 those thugs !! I think it could be the fact that they are only a 4.5 hour drive from L.A.. Some jack probably got caught with some high caps and said I got them in Vegas and that was that. Now its CYA, law or no law they probably just dont want to deal with it... I dont know, paranoia I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 There was a huge thread on another board about a CA resident being thrown out of a LV gun store just for admitting he was from CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) I hate to admit it but I did grow up there.. I remember years ago exaggerated news stories of all the bad things over the borders NV,AZ. I wonder if they do like undercover investigator reports. I dont blame the gun stores at all, they are just defending their businesses from unwanted trouble. Funny how the media there is most concerned about the border with other American states ?? Huh ?

galt11 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 A friend recently had this type of thing happen to him. He is a law enforcement officer and was trying to order hi caps from an on-line store to be delivered to him in PA, where they are legal. However, since his credit card bill is mailed to a NY address, his work, they would not sell them to him. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
