Guns seized in crisis, returned after release

Beginning July 1, 2025, if you are placed on a mental health crisis hold in Nevada, police can immediately take any gun on you or very near you. They must give you a receipt that describes the gun and a notice explaining how to get it back. After you are released from treatment, the agency must make the gun available for return. The gun is not returned if an officer files for a court protection order for high‑risk behavior, or if state law bars you from having firearms.
