One of the defense's used by the police in the killing of Erik Scott in Las Vegas last summer was that he had a technical violation of Nevada's concealed handgun law. His back up gun (if he actually was carrying one) was the same type and caliber of the one on his carry card, but it was a different manufacturer.

Thus it might not be the punishment you should worry about, but the fact that if discovered illegally carrying, you could face much more damaging reactions by the police.
