Little opposition was expressed at a hearing Monday for a bill that would make all information pertaining to Nevada concealed weapons permits confidential.
Backers of AB143 argued such confidentiality is a safety issue, rx because thieves could find out who has concealed weapons permits — and presumably guns — and target those homes for burglary.
The bill, sponsored by Assemblyman David Bobzien, D-Reno, and others also would ease requirements for obtaining a concealed weapons permit and is similar to SB126 pending in the Senate.
Both proposals allow gun owners to qualify for a certain type of weapon, such as a revolver or semi-automatic, instead of for individual guns as currently required. AB143 goes further in addressing the confidentiality issue.-[source]
