In case anyone is interested I got an NRA-ILA update. It states Nevada will no longer recognize Utah or Florida CCW permits.
Utah doesn't require a live fire qualification and Florida permits are good for seven years now up from five.
I think the day will come when the 45+ states that have CCW (perhaps 50 states one day) will have a standard lesson plan for CCW qualification. It will be hard to argue against a live fire part of the course as more states seek reciprocity with each other.

That's to bad that they will not honor the other states. You can almost bet that if the new AZ concealed carry law goes into affect that NV won't honor it as well.
Hey, at least your states honor SOME out of state permits. Try living in the Peoples Democratic Republic of New York, which recognizes NO out of state permits. Hell, New York City doesn't even recognize any permits issued anywhere except by New York City itself!

Cyrano- All of you wild eyed New Yorkers ought to get organized through a proactive state GOA or the NRA and start hammering your state legislators and the New York Times discussion boards on a daily basis. Try to get law enforcement officers on your side too. I was a LEO in my state and was very active making phone calls to state legislators, some who tried to throw the old bone, "Oh, I support law enforcement officers. I voted for your last pay raise; besides, LEOs wouldn't be affected by any CCW law anyway." I usually answered with, "Yes sir, but CCW would affect my wife who is a nurse who works late and my mother who is a pharmacist at a free clinic on the rough side of town." Through persistence and two full years of patience, we got CCW in South Carolina. I don't doubt New Yorkers could do it too. Be ready to recite National Institute of Justice statistics that show that “where there is CCW, there is declining violent crime” and the fear of more accidental discharges in CCW areas has proven to be unfounded; again, according to NIJ. Cite the Heller Case and the result of the Virginia Tech policy forbidding guns on campus.
Get those people fired up. Let the Rebel ... out!

The upstate law enforcement community IS on our side, SnS. The GOA, the NRA and the NYSRPA have been fighting for us in the state legislature for decades. Our major problem is the majority of State Assemblymen and far too many of the State Senators are from New York City and the adjoining counties, and almost all of them are liberal-left Democrats. These are the wild-eyed loons who want to outlaw guns in the state, and allow Sodom-on-Hudson to get away with refusing to honor permits issued in-state but not by the counties that make up New York City.
It's hard to fight the lunatics when the lunatics outnumber the sane people. It's why it's so critical to keep the State Senate under Republican control here. The GOP tends to vote as a bloc on important issues. When there are enough of them to control the State Senate, they can block the idiocies that emanate from the State Assembly.
It's why you occasionally hear mutterings that the State of New York ought to secede from New York City, Westchester County and Long Island hereabouts. Upstate people don't think the way the kind of people who live in that concentrated urban environment do, and we hate the diktats that the NYC types can impose on us in our own counties if property (mostly concerned with watershed and power generation) is owned by the City of New York.
HM. There was the New Mexico post not recognizing Utah's CCW. Now Nevada. Is this a back door attempt at limiting people 2nd Amendment rights or are states trying to use it to force people to just get the one their state offers to raise revenue?
Either way, Stay diligent and keep your eyes and ears open...
