Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam announced on Tuesday that his office has joined other State of Nevada Sheriffs in granting a 120-day temporary extension for all Concealed Weapons Permits (CCW) that have expired, or will expire, on or after March 12, 2020.
“This temporary extension is to help mitigate some of the impact caused by the suspension of certain services at our office in order to facilitate COVID-19 safety measures that protect the public as well as Sheriff’s Office employees,” Sheriff Balaam said. “The health and safety of our employees and those we serve remains my highest priority.”
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office says all 17 elected Sheriffs of Nevada have agreed to the extension based on the following:
- Any Nevada concealed firearm permit that expires on or after March 12, 2020 will be valid until July 15, 2020.
- This is NOT a rolling 120 days but rather a block of time to allow for the health emergency to end and the Sheriff’s Offices to resume administrative functions to complete the required investigation per Nevada law.
- An extension of the health emergency will necessitate reevaluation of this Sheriff’s agreement.
