| For | Does this new law cover existing ccw holders with revolver or semi-automatic only to now carry either? | May-21-2013 |

| For | This bill simplifies the CCW process for those persons passing all requirements. | May-16-2013 |
| Against | Must be amended so as NOT to include rifles or shotguns, or any normal citizen would be in violation by carrying a cased rifle or shotgun from their car to a shooting location. You need to use some common sense here! | May-15-2013 |

| For | I am strongly in favor of saving our second ammendment rights. I myself being a gun owner for home protection strongly believe we should have the right to legally possess a firearm as long as that individual meets all requirments legally to do so. | May-15-2013 |
| For | May-15-2013 | |
| For | Concealed permits are about the person not the gun. | May-15-2013 |
| For | This bill allows a person to obtain only one CCW certification which would apply to all handguns owned by the person, eliminating the necessity to demonstrate the individuals competence for each handgun owned, and thereby reducing the cost to an owner of multiple handguns. | May-15-2013 |
| For | Applying the K.I.S.S. principle and streamlining provisions of any law is always beneficial. | May-15-2013 |

| For | May-14-2013 | |
| For | Having to qualify with 2 different handguns, semi auto and revolver, is a perfect waste of time and money, mostely in ammo. If a person can shoot one they can shoot the other. | May-14-2013 |

| Against | I'm mixed on this bill. I agree with the first part of one ccw for all gun. Kinda like my drivers license doesn't limit that I can only drive fords but not a Dodge. ..... As for the CCW marked drivers license; I'm strongly against this. So now ill have to carry my ccw permit, my drivers license and a second state issued identification by the DMV. To keep the fact I have a ccw private. One to show the police, one to show TSA, one to show at work and the bank ect. ... its called concealed carry. Kinda hard not to show everyone that i have a ccw when I have it listed on my identification. That's why we are issued a separate ID card.... so gotta say strike the second part or vote NO on the whole. | May-02-2013 |

| For | Right now the DMV can put a new or renewed license or title in someone's mailbox (less than 2 wks) exponentially faster than the CCW Detail can... E.G. my son got his drivers license renewed and in his hand in 7 days... I am waiting over 70 days and counting for my CCW renewal... millions of drivers license in Nevada... less than 100,000 CCW permit holders in the entire state of Nevada... whats wrong with this picture? | Apr-02-2013 |
| For | Apr-02-2013 | |

| For | As a CCW instructor. In our classes we go over the different action types. We don't just say "This is a revolver, this is a semi-auto" We show the difference in single action/double action, safety types from passive safety to manual safetys, the need to use your safety propperly and never depend on the guns safety as it is a mechanical devise that can fail, but to use the most important safety of all, that is your brain. You should always be thinking any time that you handle a gun. The firearms community is getting better at this thanks to education from instructors and the NRA | Mar-18-2013 |
| For | Mar-17-2013 | |
| For | A majority of gun owners who have a CCW own more than one type of gun, and they are proficient in operating all guns they own. Safety provisions for guns don't change with the type of gun. Responsible gun owners will still be responsible. | Mar-15-2013 |

| For | About time government started to reverse the attack on our 2nd ammendment rights. Law abiding citizens will still be responsible law abiding citizens. The right to carry and have firearms can only help safety in our nation. Criminals will be criminals regardless of the number and type of legislation that is passed. Laws against law abiding citizens does nothing but all criminals to carry out their deeds with impunity since law abiding citizens won't be there to stop them. As to registration: I should be allowed to have all means necessary to protect me and my family from criminals and government, without fear of confiscation by government. That's all registration accomplishes. George Washington clarified the 2nd ammendment by stating that the right was put in the constitution in order to allow citizens to protect themselves from government without fear. Time to listen. | Mar-10-2013 |

| For | Finally, some common sense concerning firearms. The licensing should reflect your demonstrated competancy and not bureaucratic red tape. | Mar-07-2013 |
| For | As long as a person can demonstrate compitance with a fire arm it makes little difference whether it is a revolver or a semiauto. You don't make people getting drivers liscenses test with both manual and automatic transmissions. This bill will give CCW holders more options to carry whatever pistol they desire and will bring Nevada in line with most other states who issue concealed carry permits to their citizens. | Mar-05-2013 |

| For | I publicly support the bills passage | Mar-05-2013 |
| For | This is a common sense bill. If a citizen is tested and qualifies to carry one of his firearms, they should know how to use any other firearm they own. | Mar-04-2013 |
| For | Dose the DMV make you test for a automatic and manual transmissions? No they don't so why should gun owners need to qualify for semi auto's and revolvers? | Mar-04-2013 |
| Against | This bill will make the NV permit VOID in some other states, just as we now no longer accept Utah and Arizona. That is NOT doing NV gun owners a favor. | Mar-04-2013 |

| For | Great | Mar-04-2013 |
| For | Mar-04-2013 | |
| For | I am both for and against this legislation. For: removing the arbitrary and unnecessary requirement to qualify with both a semi and a revolver. Honestly, if you can shoot one you can shoot the other effectively. Against: This legislation is actually more restrictive than current law. Under current law, it is legal to "conceal" any semiauto if authorized -- including rifles. Under the proposed legislation, it would become illegal to transport a rifle in a case which does not appear to contain a gun upon "ordinary observation". This would include transporting a rifle for the purposes of hunting and/or recreational target shooting. I strongly urge you to amend the legislation to use the term "firearm" in the place of each occurrence of the word "handgun". | Mar-04-2013 |
| For | This is long overdue. | Mar-03-2013 |
| For | Mar-01-2013 | |
| For | Mar-01-2013 | |
| For | Mar-01-2013 | |
| For | There is no reason why someone proficient with either type should be required to qualify with the other type. This will ultimately save the state money as they will no longer have to use state resources to process someone's request to add a second type of firearm to their permit that they did not previously have listed. Those resources can be diverted to more important matters, like investigating crimes, making arrests and assisting prosecutors in getting convictions, rather than pushing paper and red tape. | Mar-01-2013 |
| Against | The proposed bill suggests that something was wrong with the current/existing concealed weapons permit regulations. Eliminating the categorization of semi-automatic pistols and revolvers and referring to them as handguns does not seem ethical. With horrific gun violence happening across America, wouldn't the more logical action be to discuss and review Nevada's gun laws before swiftly enacting more lenient ones? Some citizens do feel the Second Amendment has gone to far and that our Rights are being violated by allowing such lax gun laws. | Feb-28-2013 |
| For | Very good law. It simplifies matters in a common sense way. | Feb-28-2013 |

| Against | During the past 40 years 1,200,000 citizens have been killed here in America by guns and very few were killed because they used their gun for self protection. What we need is more transparency not less. Over time register the serial number, ballistics and owner of every multiple cartridge firearm. Require a background check for every change of ownership. Not a perfect solution but one step toward controlling the out of control use of guns. | Feb-28-2013 |

| For | A gun is a machine nothing more nothing less. When you get a drivers license you don't need a separate one for stick shifts and automatic transmissions. | Feb-28-2013 |
| For | A good analogy was offered in that the DMV does not require one to choose whether to demonstrate proficiency in a vehicle with a manual or an automatic transmission. A car is a car, just as a pistol is a pistol. I hope you will pass this bill. jim falk, churchill county | Feb-28-2013 |
| For | It only makes sense that if one can qualify using one handgun; then, that person would be also be able to qualify with any other handgun. Sometimes common sense needs to be put back in politics, instead of what is supposed to be politically correct. This is one example. Pass SB76 it only makes sense. | Feb-27-2013 |

| For | Feb-24-2013 | |
| For | Passage of this bill will cause no harm to those that are for stringent gun/people control, yet it will benefit the responsible gun owner in allowing them the freedom to exercise their right without unnecessary government oversight. Those that legally possess firearms are responsible solely by the act of carrying legally. The bill should be amended from "own" to "legally possess" as not all counties require registration of firearms, therefore leaving a dangerous loophole in place that could leave a citizen in danger of having to prove ownership, further reduce that legal issue to a wife using a firearm "owned" by her husband. Possess is the proper terminology for this type of legislation. | Feb-24-2013 |

| For | It also makes sense that we shouldn't need to renew our CCW permits. | Feb-23-2013 |
| For | This bill should be passed because there is no reason why a CCW perimt holder should be required to qualify once for revolvers and once for semi-automatics. The principles of carrying concealed and marksmanship are the same for both types of pistol regardless of the type of action. Legal requirements that serve no purpose, such having to qualify twice, should be eliminated. | Feb-23-2013 |

While the mechanics of revolvers and Semi-autos vary, the core elements of being a safe CCW holder do not change. I am a competitive shooter and have used both semi-autos and revolvers and as far as safely caring and using either of these handguns there is no difference other than that of their mechanics. | Feb-22-2013 |
| For | How about a bill for not only retired Police officers but officers that changed their professions that served for more than 5 years as a police officer so that they can carry a weapons like the retired officers nation wide. | Feb-21-2013 |
| For | This is a critical step in recovering the 2nd amendment rights of all Nevadans. The infringements enacted by those who incorrectly believe that infringing gun rights will reduce violence and crime, in spite of statistics that prove that neither result has happened where guns laws were restrictive, need to be ended and our rights restored. IT is only a beginning but it is a very important beginning since the federal government is enacting more and more restrictive and unconstitutional laws and States need to fight back against this unconstitutional deprivation of rights and confront the Federal Government. NO infringing gun law should be enforced in Nevada no matter what the Federal Government says. | Feb-21-2013 |

| Against | "concealed firearm" should mean "firearm" Please keep "or other firearm" in section 1 and replace all reference specific to Hangdun with firearm. I don't like section 2 as it is written. In lite of government firearm registration schemes I think any reference to "owns" needs to be done away with because in order to enforce this law it would require me to first register my firearm to prove ownership. see my suggestion below. Section 2 of this bill provides that a person may obtain a permit to carry "A firearm, and such a permit is valid for any firearm." Please put some kind of cap on what the records and FBI fee can be, without some kind of cap the Government could say it costs $25,000 to do a background check thus making it impossible for me to carry concealed. | Feb-21-2013 |

| For | I support SB76. There is no need to qualify with different types of weapons. Qualifying with one style should be sufficient to carry any owned. Trigger control and sighting technics are the same regardless of whether revolver or pistol. Being required to qualify with different weapons is similar to getting a drivers and having to test with an automatic shift then having to test with a stick shift vehicle.

| For | Agreed, the rules of firearm safety and handling do not vary from one firearm to the next. The proficiency portion of the current requirements requires only basic marksmanship, which is not typically different between firearm platforms at this basic level. | Feb-21-2013 |

| For | I respect our Constitution and also the NRA's mantra that "Guns don't kill people, people kill people. As gun owners are people and should be responsible people, please add a caveat that should anyone other than the owner of the weapon commits a crime with the weapon, the owner of the weapon shares responsibility for the crime. For example, may be culpable for a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor and loss of their license to own, plus a fine and a probationary period. Should the owner exhibit gross negligence that allows someone else to commit a crime with the owner's weapon(s), the owner might actually serve up to one year in jail, besides losing lifetime privileges with any and all weapons. | Feb-21-2013 |

| For | The difference of proper handling a pistol and a revolver are minor. This bill is a sensible of reduction of unneeded rules. | Feb-21-2013 |
| For | The current requirement of qualifying with both styles of handgun is redundant. The simple act of field qualifying with one style of handgun shows capability of handling and firing a handgun. You are taught to load and unload both styles of handguns during the classroom session of Concealed Carry classes. | Feb-21-2013 |
| Against | If the state has any business "qualifying" who should be allowed to carry concealed weapons, they should retain the provision that the person test with the general type of pistol he plans to carry. Gun accidents are rare but typically result from somebody thinking he knows all about semiautomatic pistols when he really knows only about revolvers or shotguns. I know of one individual who has been shot TWICE because his friends were unfamiliar with pistols they had acquired. | Feb-21-2013 |

You don't need a different license for that, it would be ridiculous....the same goes here. | Feb-21-2013 |

| For | A licensing distinction between a revolver and semi-auto hand gun is pretty absurd. They function in essentially the same manner and at the end of the day are both designed to fire bullets. This would result in a clear streamlining of law, a rare gem these days. | Feb-21-2013 |
| For | alify ith a revolver, then it stands to reason that of ocurse they can also carry and shoot a semi auto pistol.Transition from revolver to pistol is only a matter of two different firearms mechanical actions and has no bearing on one's performance with firearms.I fyou are licensed in Nevada to Carry Conceraled, then the type of firearm, pistol or revolver is a moot point and for licensing purposes should make no difference. | Feb-21-2013 |
| For | This will simplify the process of obtaining a carry permit, and most likely reduce the cost, both to the applicant and to the government. It's a bill that is long overdue. | Feb-21-2013 |
| For | I fully support Senator Settelmeyer's bill revising the provisions governing permits to carry concealed weapons in Nevada. Allowing a person to qualify for a CCW license using just one handgun makes perfect sense. I have a Nevada CCW license and believe the great majority of CCW license holders can easily handle both a revolver or a semiautomatic pistol regardless of which type of weapon they qualified with. | Feb-21-2013 |

| Against | I like that this bill would allow concealed carry of any handgun with the qualification of any handgun. I also like that this bill would allow the concealed carry of handguns of actions other than single and double derringers, revolvers, and semi-automatic handguns. This would allow people to carry concealed lever-action pistols, long barreled single shot pistols, quadruple derringers, and all other action types that were previously arbitrarily denied. However, I do not like that this bill changes the word "firearm" to "handgun" in every place. In the past, if a person qualified on a semi-automatic firearm, they could carry concealed a semi-automatic rifle since the law was not limited just to handguns. Since Nevada law provides no provision even allowing the concealed carry of a firearm in a case without a permit, as a permit holder, it was nice to know that my permit also allowed me to transport semi-automatic rifles and shotguns in a fashion that was not obvious to ordinary observation. Attorney General Opinion 93-14 held that a firearm in a case held in the hands would be considered concealed under the law, and thus a felony offense without a permit. If the wording of the bill was changed so that the word "handgun" was used when describing qualification requirements, but the word "firearm" was used when describing what the permit pertained to, I would support this bill. That would require qualification with a handgun, and carry of any handgun or other firearm. As it is, I don't really like trading the right to conceal a semi-automatic rifle for the right to conceal handguns of less typical action types. | Feb-19-2013 |

| For | I support the intent of this bill, but suggest the following revisions to make the bill clear and unambiguous. Page 2, lines 36 through 38 (describing handguns that permit holders are able to conceal) should be simplified by replacing "…which is owned or thereafter obtained by the person…" with "…which is lawfully possessed by the person…". Ownership of the firearm or time periods when the firearm was obtained are irrelevant; lawful possession should be the only requirement. As written, if a relative who owns a specific firearm allows me to possess their handgun before I obtain a permit, and after obtaining my permit I conceal the loaned handgun, it could be successfully argued that I have violated this law. | Feb-13-2013 |

| For | I am very glad to see FINALLY a bill to simplify an unnecessarily complex law to make it easier to enforce and to follow. THANK YOU, now on to interstate reciprocity for carry permits. | Feb-05-2013 |

| Against | I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and also of the Senator. I feel the difference in operation and proficiency between semi-automatic and revolver handguns are to great to group into one catagory. Demonstrating the capability to be proficient in both types, I feel, is essential for the safety of all concerned. | Feb-05-2013 |

| For | I agree with this, although it should be stressed, based on my experience, that a revolver is much easier to begin the learning process, over a semi-auto. | Feb-05-2013 |
| For | Passing this bill is the right thing to do. All the CCW people I know, know how to use either revolvers or semi-auto had guns. They learned it before they ever took a CCW class. Thank you James. | Feb-05-2013 |
| For | it is logical, present situation is overly complex | Feb-05-2013 |
| For | Feb-05-2013 | |
| For | It should be the right to carry, not what to carry. Current training only shows proficiency in Semi-Auto & Revolver. It does not test you on ALL types of Semi-Auto, Revolvers, etc... So as implemented all hand guns fall into only these two categories. It is the gun owners responsibility to know the proper function of their firearm. I believe that it is misguided to say someone could carry a revolver, but not a Semi-Auto. Should that person be imprisoned for carrying the wrong type of gun? That is what in place today. It is unachievable to train/test applicants on ALL types of guns. Please remove one more "gotcha" law that could punish otherwise law abiding citizens. Take away one more excuse that Lawyers could use to defend the indefensible. One of my biggest fears is violating a law that I am unaware of while exercising my 2nd amendment rights. It is already a daunting task, especially when going between states. Help simplify & clarify the law. Help to protect honest Citizens by not giving real criminals additional excuses to help mitigate their actions. | Feb-05-2013 |

| For | "This bill if passed would eliminate the current requirement that a person to qualify with either a semi-auto and a revolver if they wish to carry both.

| For | I support this bill 100%. I currently have one of the older permits and had to qualify with 5 handguns to cover myself at the added price of 20.00$ each, while newer applicants got by with testing for one pistol and one revolver each. The language of the bill comparing the DMV test to drive a car is exactly right. Sincerely, Gregory McClain cgmcclain@aol.com 89129 | Feb-05-2013 |
| For | The basic fundamental process if required of the marksmen for either type of action, breathing, aiming, trigger squeeze are not affect by the action itself. The difference in the action type between the revolver and the Semi-Auto has no impact on the marksmen's ability to fire one or the other safely and responsibly. I see no reason why a CCW qualification with one type should not cover the other action type. | Feb-05-2013 |

| For | Hello. I support the SB76 . Resposable law abiding citizens once they have pass the CCW training and test should be able to carry any firearm. All CCW holders knows that you have to practice in a regular basis; specially with daily carry firearm. CCW holders are one of the most resposable Law abiding citizens that you can encounter. Yes, I suppor the revising the definition of Conceal Firearm authorizing a person to obtain one permit to carry a concealed firearm for all handguns owned by the person. | Feb-05-2013 |

| For | I am for this bill that would simplify CCW requirements. I would also like to see a bill that would allow Concealed Carry on school property. I have a NV CCW and I work in a so-called "gun free zone". The only time I do NOT feel safe is when I am at work when the good people like me are not allowed to protect ourselves for fear of (at the very least) being dismissed for breaking the law. Meanwhile the assaults on and around campus against women continue. Please figure out some kind of high level training and qualification that we can take to allow us to carry legally in these dangerous places. Maybe start with allowing women to take the advance training. I don't know, do something. Utah has figured it out. Nevada can too. | Feb-05-2013 |
| For | It's about time we the people stop being charged over and over for virtually the same thing. | Feb-05-2013 |
| For | It is utterly absurd to require a concealed carry permit holder to have to "qualify" with each and every firearm he may wish to carry on his person, analogous to requiring drivers to take a separate test and obtain a separate drivers license for each and every individual car he may wish to drive. | Feb-05-2013 |

| For | After the change to NRS 202 in 20111 to accommodate any semi-auto handgun (a bill in 2009 did the same for revolvers) I retook the class and am now licensed to carry either. However, I think this bill will make it easier for everyone. See you at the L-D Event on the 9th in Virginia City Jim. And, thanks for your continuing efforts in behalf of us gun owners. | Feb-05-2013 |

| For | I would like to see Concealed Carry allowed in public schools. Currently when I drop off or pick up my kids at school I have to park off school property and remove my holstered firearm and store in my vehicle. This is not only inconvienent, but the possibility of a passerby seeing me and thinking the worst is of great concern. The last thing I want is to have Law Enforcement called, causing a lockdown and undue stress of all involved. I would also like teachers who have a concealed carry permit to be allowed to carry while at work on school property. If additional training or a stricter CCW qualification is requried that would be fine. As it is now our children are insufficiently protected at our schools. | Feb-05-2013 |

| For | Simplify the process for a CCW. | Feb-05-2013 |
| For | As long as an individual qualifies to a reason level test for one handgun they should be allowed to carry any handgun. I further pose the point that law abiding citizens should not be required a permit to carry concealed at all. | Feb-05-2013 |
| Against | The bill goes too far. If government is going to decide whether we're qualified to carry firearms, it ought to test on something like the kind of firearm we're going to carry. As a journalist I covered a number of fatal or serious firearm accidents, and as a shooter I have witnessed many accidental discharges. Many result from a shooter familiar with revolvers assuming he knows all about semiautomatic pistols, and vice versa. | Feb-05-2013 |
| For | Now THIS is common sense legislation other than not requiring law abiding citizens to have to obtain a permit to carry at all. If you are not otherwise prohibited from carrying a firearm, no permit should be required. | Feb-05-2013 |

| For | The safe handling of different types of handguns, i.e. revolvers vs semi-automatic pistols, is not significantly different enough to justify having to show safe handling and proper-use techniques with both while qualifying for a concealed firearms permit. Safety, operation, and aim are basically the same with any type of handgun, and for that matter nearly any type of modern firearm in general. | Feb-03-2013 |

| For | As SB76 is a change to licensed CCW holders, of which I am, I am one of the people impacted by this change. I do not see any benefit added by distinguishing between specific types of handguns, instead, I see it as an additional legal complexity that adds no benefit to society. Removal of this distinction will help bring Nevada's concealed weapons licenses into a more compatible form with other states. | Feb-02-2013 |
