Does anybody know what the current number of CHP's stands at?

No there are alot of gun owner's that I know that haven't gotten it. All for various reasons, ranging from I just don't have the time and money, to I don't see the need.

In fact money is the reason that I don't yet have mine. I never seem to have the time and money at the same point in time. If I have the money it means I am working and I don't have the time. If I have the time it means I ain't working and I don't have the money.

Yeah, Hardwood83, the legislature guessed that 66,000 Nebraskan's would get permits when they passed the law in 2006. It turns out we are only around 10% of that estimate, if we are around 7,000 that is.

Yeah Rugermanx, this problem seems to be why some people I know haven't gotten it yet either. One of my best buddies, who is a member on here too, loves guns and wants to carry but just has not found the money and time (money more than time) to do it yet.
Two of my cousins took the course together last year, but only one went and got the permit. The other one was still iffy about the way the law was written (all the restricted places, Cities banning it, Officers being able to look up your license and know you have it) so he didn't get it. I told him about the updates with the new law (LB430) and he seems more interested in it now than before. He might get it soon (guess he's got about 2years left until his training expires).

Dark Helmet:
I think the new changes will help get it moving, but is also just an issue of inertia, I'm in the same time/money boat as a lot of people, balancing the needs and of three kids with my own wants... even if it is a "justifiable" expense for self defense and that of my kids... if I'm ever THAT worried about it, I'll just OC.

Eagle1:
As of today (9/28/09),  6951 CCW permits have been issued. Of this total 180 of these were personal data changes and 48 were re-issued do to being lost or damaged. There you have it straight from NSP HQ.
