Can buy rifle by mail nevada

In Nevada, the laws regarding the purchase and ownership of firearms, including rifles, are governed by state and federal laws. Here's a summary of the current regulations:

Federal Laws:

• The Gun Control Act of 1968 and the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) require licensed firearms dealers to conduct background checks on prospective buyers and verify their identity before selling a firearm.
• The Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 prohibits the sale of firearms to individuals who are not legally allowed to own them, such as convicted felons, domestic abusers, and individuals with certain mental health issues.

Nevada State Laws:

• Nevada law requires a background check for all firearms purchases, including rifles, from licensed dealers.
• To purchase a firearm in Nevada, you must:
  • Be at least 18 years old (21 years old for handguns)
  • Be a resident of Nevada
  • Provide valid identification and proof of residency
  • Pass a background check through the NICS system
• Nevada law also prohibits the sale of certain types of firearms, including:
  • Assault weapons (defined as firearms with certain features, such as folding stocks or flash suppressors)
  • Large-capacity ammunition feeding devices (defined as magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition)

Mail Order Sales:

• Federal law prohibits the sale of firearms by mail order to individuals who are not licensed dealers or collectors.
• Nevada law also prohibits the sale of firearms by mail order, except for certain exceptions, such as:
  • Sales between licensed dealers
  • Sales to collectors who are licensed by the federal government
  • Sales of antique firearms (defined as firearms that are more than 50 years old)

In summary, while it is technically possible to purchase a rifle in Nevada, it is not possible to buy one by mail order from a private individual or a non-licensed dealer. You must purchase a rifle from a licensed dealer, who will conduct a background check and verify your identity before completing the sale.
