Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Clark County. Henderson began as a magnesium plant during wartime and has grown into Nevada's second-largest city, stretching from Green Valley to Black Mountain. Its industrial area along Lake Mead Parkway continues to produce chemicals and specialty metals, while many residents commute into the Las Vegas valley. Orders ship to FFL dealers around the area.
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 requires no permit to purchase, firearm registration, or state waiting period. Since January 2, 2020, nearly every transfer involves a background check. Buying from a dealer requires photo ID, ATF Form 4473, and a federal NICS check. Private parties must appear together at a licensed dealer for the dealer to run the check, with narrow exceptions for immediate family and short temporary transfers. Federal law allows rifles and shotguns to be sold from age 18 and handguns from age 21. State law adds no additional permits or waiting periods.
Dealers in these communities all work for Henderson-area buyers:
Open carry of a handgun requires no license in Nevada for adults who may lawfully possess one. Carrying concealed requires a Nevada concealed firearm permit, issued by the sheriff of the county where you live. In Clark County, this is 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 is valid for 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 organizes big-game hunts by hunt unit and hunt code rather than one statewide season. Mule deer, elk, and pronghorn tags are drawn from the annual big-game draw, with applications open from mid-March to mid-May; the 2026 deadline was May 7. Most mule deer hunts using any legal weapon occur between October and late November, with earlier archery and muzzleloader hunts and some late hunts on either side. State rules permit centerfire rifles from .22 through .50 caliber with a case no longer than three inches and prohibit full metal jacket, steel core, and tracer ammunition.
Henderson borders the McCullough Range and Sloan Canyon, with Lake Mead National Recreation Area to the east. This is Area 26 country, with the nearest open public land for scouting being the BLM ground south of Sloan.
Local shooters use the Clark County Shooting Complex or head out past Jean, as Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area on the city's south edge prohibits target shooting.
The public ranges listed on the city pages are run or listed by state wildlife agencies, state forests or the U.S. Forest Service. Many ask for a hunting license, a range pass or a small fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive.
