Open carry in Grand Island, Ne?
Tim McBride:
It depends, how bad do you want to be treated like a robbery suspect at 2am?

Are you sure you can legally open carry a handgun at 18 (if received as a gift) in Nebraska? I know in Iowa you can but I was under the impression this was not the case in Nebraska?
Could you post the state statute that deals with this please?

Always the Best Approach: Where is It So Written????
However, Nebraska state statutes are pretty much mute on the issue of Open Carry.

Yup. It's clear that you did. My post was simply affirmation of your point. Better to look it up in the statutes than to ask a buddy. Or even a CHP instructor.
One approach might be to check case law. Wouldn't know how or where to start. Googling<"open carry" "case law" Nebraska> provides some insights and interesting reads.
The Open Carry issue begs for some kind of clarification. Mainly to give better legal cover to Those Who OC.
