In January of 2023, there were 105,619 active CCW permits in Nevada (
see RCCD website ). By January of 2024, there were 105,454 active permits, a net LOSS of permits. During the pandemic, we were estimating active permits to exceed 200,000 by early 2024.
With gun sales holding at record highs over the last several years, you would expect that CCW permits would run parallel to those sales, right? So what can explain the fact that these lines are moving away from each other?
It's because the LVMPD and the Nevada Sheriff's & Chief's Association are working together to suppress and throttle down the number of CCW permits in Nevada. This is not only your constitutional right, but Nevada is a "shall issue" state. This is unacceptable and systematically violates the rights of thousands and thousands of citizens just like you.
On January 23, 2024, Nephi Khaliki filed the first of 3 lawsuits against the Nevada Sheriff's Association and LVMPD, alleging fraud, collusion, and invasion of privacy (
see CCW Bulletin article ). A few weeks later, LVMPD arrested Khaliki for--you guessed it--fraud.
LVMPD claims that Khaliki's license to instruct CCW courses was revoked by the Nevada Sheriff's & Chief's Association. This cannot be further from the truth. In a recent court appearance, the Sheriff's Association admitted they did not have the authority (as a civilian organization) to revoke anyone's license and they denied they revoked Khaliki's license. The last official communication from LVMPD to Khaliki was that he was reinstated as of June 2023 (
see the full-story at LVMPD.co ).
The allegations LVMPD is making that suggest Khaliki was fraudulently teaching CCW courses is simply not true. LVMPD tried to trick Khaliki into believing his license was revoked by the Sheriff's Association, but they do not have authority to revoke a "sheriff approved" instructor. Only the sheriff can issue or revoke that license and the sheriff has never done that.
Now, LVMPD is campaigning to shut down Khaliki, his tens of thousands of students, and the growth of the Concealed Carriers Union.
When you look at the fact that Clark County loses more CCW's than it gains every year, you will understand that the issue LVMPD has with Khaliki is that he is organizing mass numbers of CCW permittees, something that goes against their clear agenda to suppress those permits.
Nephi Khaliki will not back down and he will not stop fighting for the rights we all have to protect ourselves and our families. In fact, Nephi Khaliki has secured the primary election for State Assembly District 6 and will be in the general election in November. From the State Legislature, he has sworn to deal with the illegitimate Sheriff's Association and anyone else attempting to suppress the rights of citizens like you.
If you would like to support sending "one of us" to represent us in the State Legislature, you can visit his website at Khaliki4Nevada.com.
Thank you for your support. We will not stop fighting for you!
