, Question 1
Under NRS 202.3657, which condition disqualifies an applicant from obtaining
a Nevada CCW permit even if they have no felony convictions?

adjudicated mentally incompetent or committed to a mental health
facility in the preceding five years. DUI convictions, even multiple, do
not statutorily bar CCW issuance unless they rise to felony level, and
military discharge status is not a listed disqualifier.

permit. During a traffic stop, the officer asks if the holder is armed. Under
Arizona law, what is the permit holder's legal obligation?
A. No duty to inform unless asked directly about weapon possession.
B. Must immediately inform the officer of the permit and weapon
possession.
C. Must inform only if the weapon is in plain view.

permit and weapon possession.

Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-3102(F) requires a permit holder who is
carrying a concealed weapon to immediately inform a law
enforcement officer of that fact upon any official contact. This is
stricter than Nevada's own notification requirement, which applies
only when asked.
Question 3
Which federal statute prohibits a Nevada CCW permit holder from carrying a
firearm in a school zone, absent a state-issued exception?
A. 18 U.S.C. § 922(q) - Gun-Free School Zones Act
B. 18 U.S.C. § 926A - Interstate Transportation of Firearms
C. 18 U.S.C. § 923 - Licensing
D. 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) - Use of Firearm in Crime
Correct Answer: A - 18 U.S.C. § 922(q) - Gun-Free School Zones
Act
RATIONALE
The Gun-Free School Zones Act, 18 U.S.C. § 922(q), makes it a
federal offense to possess a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school, with
limited exceptions such as being licensed by the state. Nevada's CCW
permit does not automatically exempt a holder from this federal
prohibition unless the state qualifies the license under the Act's
exception.

In Nevada, a private citizen may use deadly force to prevent a forcible felony
only if:
A. The felony involves a threat of serious bodily harm to any person.
B. The felony is occurring in the citizen's residence.
C. Law enforcement has been notified and is en route.
D. The citizen has first attempted to retreat.
Page 3
, Correct Answer: A - The felony involves a threat of serious bodily
harm to any person.
RATIONALE
NRS 200.120(2) permits justifiable homicide when necessarily
committed in preventing a forcible felony that threatens serious bodily
harm. The statute does not require notification of law enforcement or
retreat in all cases, and the location element is not a universal
prerequisite.

A. No effect, because it is a misdemeanor.

Correct Answer: C - Prohibits possession of firearms under 18
U.S.C. § 922(g)(9).
RATIONALE
18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9) prohibits any person convicted of a
misdemeanor crime of domestic violence from shipping, transporting,
receiving, or possessing firearms or ammunition. This federal
prohibition is permanent and applies regardless of the state of
conviction.

Under Nevada's stand-your-ground law (NRS 200.120), which factor is NOT
considered when determining whether a person had a reasonable fear of
