Well, I'll try. Yes, I'm probably being too literal in my reading of the NAC definition above.
Plus, somewhere in my readings of the legal stuff I (very dimly) remember coming across the expression, "concealed means concealed." Can't find it since.
Consequently, I've imprinted on the idea that if a CHP holder carries concealed, then no part of the handgun may ever show (let's leave out the issue of "printing" for the moment).
So--when the NSP Staff Attorney in effect says to go ahead and open carry, that advice sorta conflicts with what I thought I knew and understood.
Actually, doesn't affect me one way or the other, since Open Carry is not my forte. But on this Forum, several folks do.
That's about it.

SFG....thanks for the reply....I am not seeing the DEFINITION of concealed, being extrapolated/interpreted to being limited to such. The phrase "concealed means concealed" is one I use frequently when people inquire about carrying in a "forbidden zone" or "printing". The issue of "printing" is an ilLOGICal topic to me. I am with you ... I do not OC (intentionally) but I am glad we do not have law forbidding such in Nebraska if I were to "flash" my gun.

I dont have my CCW permit yet and i am versed on the laws. But if i understand some of it correctly a person can not drink and carry concealed. Based on this can a person have a CCW permit open carry and drink?

That is a question that I want to know. Last night I drank several beers while working in my garage, then I went outside to unload my truck...at such point, can I switch to open carry?

You and the NSP Staff Attorney appear to be of One Mind in this regard. I'm a bit slow, but am getting there.

My unqualified, inexpert opinion is while on your property, you can carry anyway you want. Just so your neighbors don't get alarmed and call 911 w/"Man w/Gun" or "Disturbing the Peace" complaint. Or if your locale should happen to have an anti-brandishing law.
Once you leave the property, if carrying CHP, then ZERO alcohol in blood, breath, and/or urine, per Nebraska Administrative Code on CHP. Good idea to wait at least 8 hours after last drink. You can Google # Drinks vs. Wait Time. Separate topic.
If carrying under Open Carry, then it's most likely that the usual public drinking laws apply to the B-B-U levels and limits.
But....if you've already had Several Beers, best stay home and flip on TV for a while.
However, I still want you on Our Team, given your capacity for Thinking Outside the Box.
