Nevada is a cash and carry state to waiting period but is that for residents only

One best call your local county sheriff's office, or gun dealer, before one embarrasses himself any further, and possibly wastes a trip, and the gas on a futile trip across state borders on such a mission.

No state is a cash-and-carry state in the USA to buy a handgun. The waiting period is a federal law.
If you are talking about a handgun...
You can buy a handgun anywhere in the USA, but it has to be shipped to a Licensed Firearms Dealer, in the county you reside in, then you fill out the correct paperwork, get a permit to buy from your local sheriff's dept. and pick up the gun. And you will have to pay a fee to the dealer for doing the paperwork.
Long guns are different, you can buy them anywhere in your state, and sometimes in a neighboring state.
Keep in mind that the firearm you are buying has to be legal in your state... So good luck considering you live in gun owner hell ( California ).

You need to check Nevada and California law. In some states, they do not allow outside resident to purchase firearms, or only border states are allowed. I would expect that you would still need to follow California law.

You seem to have found a lot of answerers who don't know about instant background checks. Some states, and California is one of them, still require a waiting period, but it's no longer a federal requirement. You really do need to find somebody that knows the state laws, but my guess is that you'll probably be able to get a long gun but not a handgun next door.

No!
Federal law state you can not buy a Handgun in a state you do not have primary residency in.
Now you can purchase the pistol and have the dealer transfer it to a local gun shop where you live that is done all the time.

The waiting period is a federal law that all FFL dealers must abide by.A responsible dealer is not risking losing his license and possibly face prosecution to sell you a gun,sorry.Interstate sales are governed by federal laws and unless you are buying something from a private individual who has no intention of following those laws,you will need to go through a licensed dealer.You might not like it,but those are the rules.

Even if you were able to buy a firearm across state lines the minute you enter CA you have to turn it in and have a background check here to make sure you don't have a criminal record.
