Existing law prohibits a person from carrying or possessing certain weapons on the property of the Nevada System of Higher Education, a private or public school or a child care facility, or while in a vehicle of a private or public school or child care facility. (NRS 202.265) Section 1 of this bill additionally prohibits a person from possessing or causing a firearm to be present in, or within 100 feet of an entrance to, a place the person knows or reasonably should know is an election site, unless the person: (1) is a law enforcement officer engaged in the performance of his or her official duties; (2) is a private guard or security personnel hired by the owner of the facility or property in which the election site is located; (3) possesses the firearm while in a vehicle, so long as the person does not brandish the firearm or remove the firearm from the vehicle; or (4) lawfully possesses a firearm in a place of residence, in a business or on private property that is located within 100 feet of an entrance to an election site. Under section 1, a person who violates this prohibition is guilty of a gross misdemeanor, except that if the person knowingly possesses a firearm or causes a firearm to be present with the specific intent to disrupt, interfere with or monitor the administration of the election, the counting of votes or any person who is voting or attempting to vote, then the person is guilty of a category D felony. Existing law prohibits a person from selling, offering to sell or transferring an unfinished frame or receiver unless: (1) the person is a firearms importer or manufacturer, and the recipient of the unfinished frame or receiver is a firearms importer or manufacturer; or (2) the unfinished frame or receiver is required by federal law to be imprinted with a serial number issued by an importer or manufacturer, and the unfinished frame or receiver has been imprinted with the serial number. Existing law also prohibits a person from possessing, purchasing, transporting or receiving an unfinished frame or receiver unless: (1) the person is a firearms importer or manufacturer; or (2) the unfinished frame or receiver is required by federal law to be imprinted with a serial number issued by a firearms importer or manufacturer, and the unfinished frame or receiver has been imprinted with the serial number. (NRS 202.3625, 202.363) Existing law defines the term “firearms importer or manufacturer” for the purposes of these prohibitions. (NRS 202.253) Section 2 of this bill revises the definition of the term “firearms importer or manufacturer” to include a firearms dealer and sections 3-7 of this bill make conforming changes to reflect the changed definition. Section 4 of this bill additionally prohibits a person from selling, offering to sell or transferring an unfinished frame or receiver, ready frame or receiver or market frame or receiver unless: (1) the recipient of the unfinished frame or receiver, ready frame or receiver or market frame or receiver is a firearms dealer, importer or manufacturer; or (2) the unfinished frame or receiver, ready frame or receiver or market frame or receiver has been imprinted with a serial number issued by a firearms dealer, importer or manufacturer in accordance with federal law and any regulations adopted thereunder. Section 5 of this bill prohibits a person from possessing, purchasing, transporting or receiving an unfinished frame or receiver, a ready frame or receiver or a market frame or receiver unless: (1) the recipient of the unfinished frame or receiver, ready frame or receiver or market frame or receiver is a firearms dealer, importer or manufacturer; or (2) the unfinished frame or receiver, ready frame or receiver or market frame or receiver has been imprinted with a serial number issued by a firearms dealer, importer or manufacturer in accordance with federal law and any regulations adopted thereunder. Section 2 additionally defines the terms “market frame or receiver” and “ready frame or receiver” as used in the prohibitions in sections 4 and 5. Section 9 of this bill makes a technical correction by repealing a provision relating to the sale of an unfinished frame or receiver that is no longer necessary.
