The Firearms FAQ page on the AG's web-site has re-appeared after being unavailable for a couple of years. She seems to say that preemption does not apply to local statutes limiting open carry. And that it is OK for you to be "confronted by law enforcement!"
Is there anything we can do about this?

Currently, there are no State of Nevada statutes prohibiting the open carrying of firearms. However, in Nevada there are some local statutes prohibiting the carrying of loaded firearms within their jurisdictions.
Any person wishing to carry a firearm in open view – before doing so – is strongly encouraged to contact that jurisdictions’ law enforcement agency to determine if a statute against the open carrying of firearms does exist and that agency’s enforcement policy concerning the open carrying of firearms.
Caution! The open carrying of firearms – especially in congested urban areas – may be the cause of you being confronted by law enforcement!
