RE: AB 202

Steve Yeager, Chair Assembly Judiciary Committee Nevada State Assembly

Dear Chair Yeager;

The Nevada Firearms Coalition SUPPORTS AB 202 for the following reasons:

This bill expands the provisions of NRS 202.265 to include the Nevada System of Higher Education for limited possession of certain weapons by peace officers, school security or written permittees. It also allows for the locked storage of handguns in vehicles on community college property. It also expands the provisions of NRS 202.3673 to provide the same provisions to those with concealed carry permit.

This is a logical amendment to the current law to allow the peace officers and law abiding citizens to be able to store their handguns while attending community college.

Sincerely,

Don Turner, President cc: Lesley Cohen Shea Backus Skip Daly Tom Roberts Ozzie Fumo Howard Watts Chris Edwards
