I do, but it's also legal in my state (I also have a CCP if it wasn't). In Nevada, it will depend on where the gun was in the car to determine if it was illegal or not. It was, however, illegal for him to have a loaded gun while intoxicated regardless of the rest. But you're right, him having a loaded gun is irrelevant to his other charges. A loaded gun doesn't enhance the charges like it could in other criminal matters. They might not even bother prosecuting it, and even if they do, it would just run concurrent to the rest of his sentence.

They can tack on an illegal possession of a firearm charge. Some weird laws in Nevada. Looks like someone can't be charged with vehicular homicide unless they have 3 prior DUI convictions. Looks to me like the max sentence is 6 years for the Death caused by DUI with wanton disregard for others. That seems light. Minimum sentence is 2 years. The illegal possession of a firearm charge can get him 1-5 years. Seems screwed up that he could get as much time for having the gun as he could for the killing of the woman by his driving.
