Go Get Your Guns! Nevada Restores Firearm Background Checks After Cyberattack

CARSON CITY, NV — After nearly three weeks of disruption, Nevada’s firearm background check system is back online. State officials confirmed Monday morning that the Brady Firearms Unit resumed operations at 8:00 a.m., restoring the ability of federally licensed dealers to process transfers for most buyers.

The outage, caused by a cyberattack on August 24, had left gun stores across the state unable to legally transfer firearms to customers without a concealed carry permit. The backlog of pending checks piled up during the shutdown, frustrating both dealers and buyers who were left in limbo.

“I’m pleased to announce access to the Brady Firearms Unit was successfully restored this morning,” said Governor Joe Lombardo. “I’m grateful to the Governor’s Technology Office and Department of Public Safety who worked 24/7 to restore access to this essential public safety service.”

According to the announcement, dealers with access to the FFL Portal can immediately submit background checks electronically. Phone support has also been restored for those without portal access, though the state warned of potential delays as systems stabilize.

Brady staff will be working extended hours to handle the surge of pending transactions and are committed to meeting the three-business-day statutory timeline for determinations. However, state officials cautioned that some cases may remain in “pending review” longer than usual due to the backlog.

During the outage, gun dealers across Nevada reported growing stacks of firearms waiting for transfer and expressed concern that lawful customers were being denied their constitutional right to purchase arms. With the system now restored, those transactions can move forward, though it may take days for the backlog to clear.

The state emphasized that restoration of services is being done in stages, with cybersecurity remaining the top priority. For continued updates on the recovery process, Nevadans can visit oem.nv.gov/recovery.

This restoration is welcome news for firearm dealers and customers alike. The outage demonstrated how dependent lawful firearm transactions are on state-controlled systems, and how quickly Second Amendment rights can be disrupted when those systems fail. With background checks once again operational, dealers are urging customers to be patient as they work through the surge in submissions.
