Minden, NV…The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has received numerous inquiries from County residents in regard to the 2016 Initiative Petition #1 – The Background Check Act, commonly referred to as “Question 1” on the last ballot of the general election.
On December 28, 2016 the Nevada Attorney General issued a legal opinion on the Act. It is attached to this release for reference. To summarize the AG opinion the Act is not enforceable and therefore citizens are excused from compliance with the Act until the issues identified in the opinion are remedied. The Douglas County Sheriff is advising its citizens that they may proceed with private party firearm sells and transfers as they did prior to the passing of ballot question #1.
