Nevada Supreme Court

Cocking (samuel) v. State

April 24, 2025141 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 21

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the conviction of Samuel Cocking, holding that Nevada's statutes prohibiting concealed carry without a permit and possession of unserialized firearms do not violate the Second Amendment under the Bruen framework, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing. The Court applied a de novo review to the constitutional challenges and an abuse‑of‑discretion standard to the sentencing review.
