Is Permit less concealed carry a goal for NFOA?
Tim McBride:
I moved to Nebraska from Arizona, were permit less concealed carry is now allowed.
Although it would not impact me greatly, I would love to see NE go this way. Is there any chance this is a long range goal? I know in AZ our grassroots group, AZCDL, worked the laws over the course of almost two decades to that point, we got ccw, then lowered the requirements over the course of the years till the course was 4 hours, after that it was an easy pass in the legislative to do away with the permit requirement. AZCDL also spent a great amount of time and money getting the right folks elected.
Am I hoping against hope? Is Chambers or the metro area too much to overcome?
Also, any chance of getting rid of the pistol purchase cards? These are a complete waste of LE resources and just another useless/restrictive hurdle.
Sorry if this has been hashed over already, just finally getting fully settled after a year and ready to jump into the fight.
Dan W:
It absolutely is our goal. The "Constitutional Carry" bills were repeatedly introduced for years prior to the passage of the Concealed Handgun Act, and the result was always the same...it died in committee.
At this point in time we need to change the landscape of the Judiciary Committee or we will struggle to pass anything gun related.
Tim McBride:
Dan, thanks for the answer, it's what I'd hoped to read.
Thanks for the hard work, I'll continue to donate when I can.
Gary:
Chambers does come to work, ready to work, and his opposition to things he does not want is brutal, and unrelenting.
Will Nebraska ever be like Vermont? Arizona? I rather doubt it. While most of the state is John Wayne in its thinking, most of the state is sparsely populated. The centers of voters are Omaha and Lincoln, and those are strong holds for anti gun thinking.
FarmerRick:
I agree with Dan, and it's something I am VERY passionate about.
One day, we'll get it... but not without a lot of hard work from ALL our members.
