LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Kyle Rittenhouse will be coming to Las Vegas once more as a featured guest speaker in a "Guns in the Library" event, hosted by Vegas CCW.
The event, which will take place on May 13, will take place at the East Las Vegas Library and will be hosted by the founder of Vegas CCW, Nephi Khaliki. The event will also feature a meet and greet with Rittenhouse, who will also give a breakdown of "shooting qualifications."
According to the Vegas CCW website, 300 tickets will be sold for students seeking certifications to earn a concealed-carry permit in Nevada. It is unclear if firearms will be included in the event.
Channel 13 reached out to the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District who sent the following statement.
"The Library District offers its performing arts centers, auditoriums, and meeting rooms for public rental. The upcoming 'Guns in the Library' event at East Las Vegas Library is not sponsored by the Library District and does not, in any way, represent the opinions or views of our organization. Contrary to the event title, possession of a weapon or dangerous items of any kind inside any library building is prohibited, as stated in our Rules of Conduct."
A previous event at the Venetian featuring Rittenhouse was canceled after the event received pressure from several groups.
Rittenhouse was acquitted of murder charges in 2020 after he shot three people — killing two of them — in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rittenhouse testified before a jury that he acted in "self-defense."
