Open carry in Grand Island, Ne?

<< < (2/5) > >>

Bucket:
Quit smoking?

One of the next rules of self defense is that weapons can be taken from you and possibly used against you (that can happen in several ways than the obvious).
I would encourage a self defense class that does not involve weapons. Not a marshal arts class of oriental format but a street smart type class. Such a class will develop a mindset that will have you (avoiding conflict) aware of your environment, options of flight or fight, open hand options or confidence to use other options (weapons).
Training strictly for one weapon can have a tunnel vision effect. Leathal force for a pack of smokes is a poor legal defense.

Omaha is the only place I know of with OC restrictions.  The State has no mention of OC so local ordinances may address it... make sure to do your research.

Also, if I were to be breaking any laws be it State, City, or County I will refrain from open carrying my weapon.

Situational awareness will solve 90% of your problems, that includes not going to the mini-mart when mostly thugs and drunks are out.

IMHO, carrying a loaded shotgun on your person is simply not the appropriate response to this situation.

DaveB:
Go during daylight and save the hassle of being mugged at night when the thugs are out breaking out car windows there. Situational awareness starts with going out when it's safer to do so.

I would be willing to bet that if you are walking around with a shotgun, while legal, will draw attention from at least one person driving by and calling the cops on you. Then explaining you are headed to a convenience store with it will probably make you wish you didn't have to be smoking. Will probably get good quick service though.
