NE Bull:
I have begun some great dialog with the OPOA thru FB. We have spoke over the phone on certain subjects. And are planning some FTF meetings in the future.

A s matter of fact thru the urgings of myself and other NFOA members, we have been able to change how the reports are worded as it pertains to unlawfully concealed firearms and the use of the term - assault weapons.  After speaking with the officers, we have much in common when it comes to views on firearms and self defense and where the problems of violence originate. 

We are in discussions about a project involving the two organizations.   I should have enough info put together in the next week to bring something to the members here for input.  (We started this during the height of our work in the unicameral and now we are able get back to work on this)

What I am saying is to realize these folks are in charge of enforcing the laws on the books (whether they 100% agree or not) and many are concerned as much as we are about the violence plaguing the city of Omaha.  I believe open- civil discussions between us can go along way to working on a solution.

So SFG.... Marty Conboy was good with CHP holders OCing Omaha. Is this not the case with the new City Attorney?   I've read and understand the law but again understood and have PDF copy of a letter from Conboy's a CHP was good to go OC.  Full disclaimer.... I don't OC

SemperFiGuy:
It's never been clear to me whether or not Paul Kratz, the current Omaha City Attorney intends to honor Marty Conboy's approach on OC in Omaha with respect to NE Concealed Handgun Permits.

Since--same as you--I don't Open Carry anywhere (I'm just happy to teach the OC classes), I haven't got around to popping that particular question.

One of us oughta go ask Paul Kratz.

We all should be familiar w/Omaha MuniCodes
20-195
20-206  Section 10 seems to permit OC for CHP holders.
And note the way Omaha Code uses the term "concealable" instead of "concealed"

"Concealable firearm: A firearm having an overall length of less than 26 inches."  [Omaha MuniCode, Section 20-291]   It isn't that the weapon is actually concealed; it's that the weapon is concealable.   Big difference.   

Some of This Stuff is so dicey, it's not worth the while to skirt around the edges.   For that reason, I do happen to maintain a current Omaha Handgun Identification Card (Open Carry Permit).     Just in case the handgun grip hangs out and shows, whatever.

Kodiak:
I'd love to see the open carry laws change and def. the registration laws.  I don't live in Omaha though, so I'm only able to make so much of an impact.  Hopefully, times will change.
