Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Churchill County. Fallon is the farm town of the Lahontan Valley, known for its alfalfa, its Hearts O' Gold cantaloupes and for Naval Air Station Fallon, where the Navy runs its strike fighter training. The Carson Sink and the Stillwater marshes spread out to the north and east.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Nevada law allows.
Nevada has no permit to purchase, no firearm registration and no state waiting period. What it does have, since January 2, 2020, is a background check on nearly every transfer: buying from a dealer means photo ID, ATF Form 4473 and a federal NICS check, and two private parties must appear together at a licensed dealer so the dealer can run the check, with narrow exceptions in statute for immediate family and short temporary transfers. Under federal law a dealer sells rifles and shotguns from age 18 and handguns from age 21. Nothing in state law adds a second permit or a second wait.
Dealers in these communities all work for Fallon-area buyers:
Open carry of a handgun needs no license in Nevada for an adult who may lawfully possess one. Carrying concealed requires a Nevada concealed firearm permit, and permits are issued by the sheriff of the county where you live, which in the Las Vegas valley means the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Applicants must be 21, or 18 to 20 with active-duty or honorably discharged military service, and must pass a Nevada Sheriffs and Chiefs firearms safety course that includes live fire. A permit runs five years and the sheriff has up to 120 days to decide. Schools, child care property and posted public buildings are off limits.
The Nevada Department of Wildlife sets big-game hunts by hunt unit and hunt code rather than by one statewide season. Mule deer, elk and pronghorn tags are drawn from the annual big-game draw, with applications open from about mid-March to mid-May; the 2026 deadline was May 7. Most any-legal-weapon mule deer hunts fall between October and late November, with earlier archery and muzzleloader hunts and a few late hunts either side. State rules allow a centerfire rifle from .22 through .50 caliber with a case no longer than three inches, and prohibit full metal jacket, steel core and tracer ammunition.
The Lahontan Valley wetlands around Stillwater are the best duck marsh in Nevada, fed by the Carson River and the irrigation system. Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge and the state wildlife management areas hold pintail, widgeon and Canada geese from October on.
The Stillwater refuge and the state wildlife management areas require non-toxic shot, and the nearest government-run range is in Carson City, an hour west.
The Nevada Department of Wildlife does not run public shooting ranges, so Nevada's public ranges are county and city facilities; everything else on our list would be a private club, which we leave out. Dispersed shooting on BLM and Forest Service ground is allowed in most of the state but is closed across much of the Las Vegas valley by county ordinance, so check before you drive out.
