Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) Practice Exam

Renewing a Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit requires:

1. Completion of another firearms training course

2. A new application form only

3. Both a new application form and a background check

4. Payment of a fee only

The correct answer is: Both a new application form and a background check

The correct answer is that renewing a Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit requires both a new application form and a background check. This process is designed to ensure that individuals applying for renewal still meet the eligibility requirements to carry a concealed firearm, such as maintaining a clean criminal record and being mentally competent. By requiring a new application form, the state can gather updated information about the applicant, while the background check serves to review any potential changes in the individual’s status since the last permit was issued. This two-step approach helps maintain public safety by ensuring that only qualified individuals are permitted to carry concealed firearms. Other approaches, such as merely submitting a new application or just paying a fee, would not adequately verify an applicant's continued eligibility and could compromise the integrity of the permit system.
