Laxalt revisits opinion on gun sales background checks
By Sean Whaley, Las Vegas Review-Journal
CARSON CITY — A legal opinion from Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt on a stalled private gun sale background check measure says Gov. Brian Sandoval can again ask the FBI to perform the work.
But the legal analysis issued Thursday also says there are potential safety risks should Nevada change from its current status where all background checks are performed by the state.
Sandoval sought the opinion on Oct. 4, just days after 58 people were killed in a mass shooting in Las Vegas.
