The rule today
Nevada has no vehicle-specific handgun rule. Carrying a pistol, revolver or other firearm concealed upon your person without a permit Nevada issues or honors is a category C felony (NRS 202.350). A weapon is concealed when it is carried upon a person in such a manner as not to be discernible by ordinary observation, so a handgun worn openly is not concealed. Whether a handgun in a glove box or console counts as concealed upon your person is not spelled out in the statute. The stricter reading is that it counts as concealed: unless you hold a permit Nevada issues or honors, do not keep a handgun hidden within reach. It is unlawful to carry a loaded rifle or loaded shotgun in or on any vehicle standing on or driven along a public highway or any other way open to the public; a rifle or shotgun is loaded when a cartridge or shell is in the firing chamber, but not when the only rounds are in the magazine (NRS 503.165).
