Concealed Carry in Las Vegas?

[rob1516]

The only hotel with metal detector at entrance was the D on Fremont and you don't want to stay at the D on fremont . And even then, you can exit from the garage

The D is a great casino.

Wouldn't the Vaulttek get stolen too?

No, they come with a security cable. Loop it to something.

I think he meant if the entire car gets boosted…..

Ditto that! My wife honks the horn for extended periods when someone does something stupid. Some day, she's going to do that to the wrong person and I will likely suffer the consequences.

Same here! She's a badass when we are out together but, by herself, she lets everything slide because she doesn't want any trouble lol.

Also, there have been incidents of hotel security doing surreptitious searches of guest rooms and evicting those found with hardware, even in SHOT Show. Pack a Vaultek and you can expect them to demand it be opened for inspection.

In some ways, Vegas was more honest when the Mob ran it.

Cool , let's just go swim with sharks too.

I'll take swimming with sharks any day of the week over walking around Potland.

There was a recent thread topic on this forum where a member mentioned that he was in a local shopping mall when a dog trained to sniff for explosives (gunpowder / residue) signaled on him and he was asked to leave the premise....
That is an interesting new tactic against concealed carry holders that I could easily seeing spreading in the future to other locations; like casinos in Nevada or other large events where firearms are expressly prohibited. It would be problematic for a casino or concert or Costco to ask every patron to go thru a metal detector and empty their pockets..
I am not aware that it is currently occurring, but I would not be surprised to see the use of dogs spread. All it requires is some family friendly dog like a beagle with a good nose.

Lol.
I've definitely never stepped in shark chit.
And they don't ask for money.

Some hotels have their own private SWAT teams now;

Perhaps we have an insider on the forum that provides some insight on this, but I know about five years ago, hotels in Vegas, and presumably other locations, were testing a cognitive radar system to look for the shapes of certain items, such as guns and knives.

Various products for this already exist and the technology is only getting better. I attended a physical security conference in Las Vegas a few years ago called ISC West and witnessed these devices being demonstrated by sales reps from a few companies first hand. I remember Motorola and Evolv Technologies were 2 of the companies present. The Motorola one was giving us fake guns of various sizes to conceal on our persons to demonstrate the technology. At one point I had a mock pistol about the size of a Ruger LCP and stuck it behind my phone in my pocket and the device still flagged me. I did have my pocket knife on me and the system didn't freak out about that but the sales rep said the machine could be configured for what you're trying to stop from coming in.

Utah CCW permit checks a lot of boxes, including NV. There are a number of places in the PNW that offer the required course to obtain a Utah CCW. I took mine at Sportsman's several years ago. As for private businesses posting signs that ban firearms, the most they can do is have you arrested for trespassing IF they catch you with a firearm AND you refuse to leave, provided you are abiding by the carry laws of said jurisdiction.

Depends on the State. That's true for Oregon.

I understand it is legal but most casinos post no firearms allowed. Does anyone have experience with this?

MrGunsnGear said that they used thermal imaging software/camera to detect him carrying a gun. The body temperature is different than the temperature of the gun and it shows up as a thermal print.

What if you carry it internally?

You might get a bladder infection.

That's a level of commitment to carry that is more than I have, but I also wouldn't bother going to Las Vegas.

Seems to me that bombarding the general public with high level RF (X-Ray) energy would had some sort of ill effects on...I don't know?....say the testicles or something?

 

[User 1234]

It isn't high level X ray.

Don't care.
