Open Carry in Vehicle in Omaha, NE

You've got it right here (from your narrative, above):
"unlawful to... transport concealable firearm in a motor vehicle except... (5) unloaded.. inside a closed container... inside a luggage compartment... not readily accessible, or (9) person having obtained and display a city ID card showing completion of firearm training sec 20-207, or (10) person carrying a valid concealed carry permit."
The City ID card [Handgun Identification Card] is your license/permit to carry your handgun openly and loaded in your automobile within Omaha city limits.
Which will then result in every Soccer Mom in a Minivan calling 911 and reporting "Man With Gun". And we can all hope that the LEO who pulls in behind with the gumballs going also is conversant with the law. LEOs are about as bad as CHP instructors in not knowing the law.
My advice to anyone who will listen is forget about Open Carry and pack heat concealed.
But it's still a Mostly Free Country, so each person can make his own choice.

My pistol is "out in the open" 90% of the time I'm driving anywhere in Omaha.
I'm certainly not waving it around or anything, but it is either stuck in a cupholder, laying on the seat, or tucked between the seat and the console. Easily seen should someone care to look.
Then again, it's usually a LCP in a pocket holster, and not a Gold D' Eagle wit da beemz... ;)
