Can Neb. get a gun law passed like Georgia did?

(1/5) > >>

grumpy old man:
Is there any bill or proposed legislation in the pipeline to get Nebraska gun laws to look like Georgia's? 

Would a petition help?  Would a day at the legislature showing our support of such a bill help?

I am tired of feeling like a criminal because I carry a weapon to protect my family, myself, and anyone around me.  Constitutional Carry should not only be the law of the state but the land.  What steps are in place to make sure Nebraska is going to get this done?

I saw the FACL (Foundation for Applied Conservative Leadership) puts on classes to help organizations such as NFOA to get friendly gun laws passed.

Constitutional carry has been the law in Nebraska since 1988. The problem is no one in power will recognize it.

I would be interested in seeing the NE carry law. Could you suggest a search to find it?

I too have a bad feeling about my CHP. To realize my rights, I had to pay for a class,travel a distance to the NSP, prove citizenship,provide other ID, get fingerprinted, pay a fine and wait several weeks. All of which feels more like something that would happen to a criminal than a law abiding individual. All the while knowing criminals do not suffer following rules. And knowing individuals who do not follow the law and therefore extend their right to self-defense past what I can legally and therefore consciously achieve. The legal obstacles continue to grow daily.

Everyone concerns over registration. How is CHP any different? In some places this information allows LE to enter your house without announcing themselves. Even though the law prevents sharing who holds permits, that info has already be given to the DMV for LE use. That alone demonstrates how people wrtting law do no have to follow the law.

Though it has been years, I have had the fortunate opportunity to talk with a number of the individuals that created and pushed to get IM # 403 on the general ballot that was voted in the affirmative by the population at the ballot box.

One of the biggest reasons besides getting RKBA language in the Constitution was to make Nebraska a Constitutional carry state.

Does it say anywhere that You do not need a permit to carry concealed? No!

What it does say is "... the right to keep and bear arms for security or defense of self, family, home, and others, and for lawful common defense, hunting, recreational use, and all other lawful purposes, and such rights shall not be denied or infringed by the state or any subdivision thereof."

What it does is forbid the state and its political subdivisions from denying and infringing the Nebraska citizens Right to keep and bear arms.

The language the creators of IM #403 used was drawn from the statutes that the Vermont Supreme Court relied on that established the original Constitutional Carry in the U.S.

Hope this helps.

SS_N_NE:
Thank you for taking the time to provide that information.
