Elko has a rep from like 100 years ago. Nowadays they have subdivisions, a Wal-mart and fly in 737's. They're trying to bill themselves as a tourist destination because the big mining boom is over for now. It's actually a pretty tame place for Nevada.
When I was a fifteen-year-old kid in Yerington (this little farm/ranch town about 1.5 hrs from Reno), somebody made the mistake of telling me that it was perfectly legal to carry, as long as it was open instead of concealed. So, I started wearing my .45 Colt everywhere. It makes for a good story now, I guess, and it was definately a better fashion statement than bell-bottoms or something.
That was back when I was driving a '73 Land Rover, and didn't know what a Subaru was.
