Carry in vehicle with non CHP-passengers
Gary:
I have friends that are police officers. I appreciate just how much stress it is to pull over a 22 year old car, with no tags, with questionable folks at the wheel. I have done ride alongs, I have shot with SWAT team leaders on police firing ranges. Their job is never easy. Many pay with an ultimate sacrifice.
Some facts about LEO's
On average, more than 65,000 law enforcement officers are assaulted each year and some 23,000 are injured annually.
-The deadliest year in law enforcement history was 1974 when 268 officers were killed. The deadliest decade was the 1970's when a total of 2,182 officers died, or 218 each year. That figure has dropped dramatically in the 1990's to 152 per year.
-A total of 1,533 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty during the last 10 years, an average of one death every 58 hours or 153 per year. There were 130 police deaths in 1999.
-There are approximately 740,000 sworn law enforcement officers now serving in the United States. About 10 percent of them are female.

My class does not seek to lower the rights of the 2nd amendment. Far from it. However, I do teach, in all traffic stops, do whatever it takes to lower the stress level of LEO's on the scene. It is in everyone's best interest. Work with LEO's, not turn the traffic stop into a civics lesson.
A traffic stop should be like a pit stop at the Daytona 500,. Quick and easy. It is dangerous for everyone, to be stopped along side the road while traffic is going by, and it is best to yes sir, no sir, and get it over with.

Whatever sticker you have on your vehicle, Gary's trumps it. You have to see it to believe it.

Or you could just compare signature lines.

I rarely drive through traffic with this displayed. I try to drive under the radar a little better than that. However, my version of this bumper sticker, covers my tailgate on my F-550 Ford. Yep, 4 feet long!
I most often drive around town, with my tailgate down. I do display it in front of my shop sometimes. Brings a chuckle to students. The wording is rather fitting for a large truck.

With that being said, I must say: I am absolutely shocked about the gun laws here. :o(In a negative way). I'm use to carrying my Beretta or Glock in my car without the need for a CHP, and Open Carrying without anyone batting an eye unless I walk into a store, or restaurant. If I got pulled over, (only happened once when a tail light went out), I would politely say the following with my hands on the upper left hand side of the steering wheel: "Sir, for your protection and mine, I have a loaded firearm in my vehicle that I would like to make you aware of at this time." -And THAT WAS THAT. No uneasiness by the LEO because he understands the State Laws. He runs a quick check on me with dispatch, and we are off on our merry way. ;D
This is going to take some getting use to. (The Nebraska State Laws). The only reason why I never got a CHP in Louisiana is because I always saw it as a ludicrous money-making opportunity for certain individuals in the local gun community; indeed, they often were against any moves by State Legislators towards a Constitutional Carry because it would infringe on their "honey pot".
Is there any legislation currently in the works in Nebraska's Unicameral towards a Constitutional Carry?!? And if not, is there anyone running for office who would push for it? (They'd win my Vote).
Not trying to turn Nebraska into Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, or Wyoming.... but I saw the slippery slope that Colorado, (where I'm originally from), went down during the original Bush Sr./Clintonista AWB through the current 2013 High-cap Ban on Mags Law. Nebraska being a Rural-oriented, Red State, there shouldn't be this murky gun laws like I'm seeing.
Someone, please educate me.

Blake, why on God's green earth would you move to this God forsaken state? We're in the top 10 most taxed state in the Union, and in Lincoln you can't carry a knife that has a 3" (I think) blade. Don't know about Lincoln, but in Omaha (which includes Millard and Elkhorn) and you don't have a CCW, you are SUPPOSE to register your firearms with the OPD. Which you know is one step closer to confiscation.
Why do I live here you may wonder? Taking care of old family members. As much as I dislike this state, family comes first.

3.5", not 3.0". Just to nitpick.
That being said, I wouldn't equate Lincoln to Boulder and Omaha to Colorado Springs. Lincoln doesn't have that "I'm SO open-minded my brain has fallen out" vibe that Boulder does. And large sections of Lincoln have common-sense. They just are in the minority, though at least it isn't a small minority.
Omaha, on the other hand, is a place that loves it when the government takes charge and handles everything, and no one else should even attempt to do so.
That's over-stating the case, but by less than you'd think. :(
I'll note: I like Nebraska a lot, myself. And yes, people are working toward constitutional carry. It is just going to take awhile----but considering how we've gotten this far (from where we started) we are doing it, step by step.
