Anyone find it Unconstitutional we have to get fingerprinted 2 get a CCP?
grumpy old man:
Does anyone besides me find it Unconstitutional (and very upsetting) in Nebraska legal law abiding citizens have to get finger printed to get a conceal and carry permit? Why are we presumed guilty (only guilty of exercising our second amendment right) of crimes where we have to get finger printed. If you want to exercise your right of free speech you don't have to get finger printed. I find this Unconstitutional and a violation of my rights of privacy.
Would you support getting this changed? If so please like my facebook page as I have contacted certain state legislators who are willing to hear my thoughts if I can show them enough people. In fact I have written to the Highway patrol to see if I can collect signatures in front of the Highway Patrol office in Omaha where people have to get fingerprinted to start collecting signatures to take to these legislators to get this law changed.

Do you post anything other than "like my Facebook page"?
And besides, as a Veteran, a former EMT, and firefighter, among having a checkered past, I'm on so many lists and have been printed so many times that I don't care about one more.

The reason I post the request to like it is because I am trying to get the Nebraska Legislators to uphold the 2nd Amendment. Just like the NFOA I want Nebraskans to be active in making sure we can keep our gun rights. I am not saying You ok but in general I find many Nebraskans who are not willing to be an active participant in making sure we keep our 2nd Amendment rights.
God Bless and I hope you have a good day.

Truth is, anyone can carry concealed under statue 28-1202 and then if caught and charged, defend themselves in court using 28-1202 and the Nebraska constitution as an affirmative defense.
I (and many others in NFOA )did so for years prior to the Concealed Handgun Act being passed.
Of course that offers no help if you want to leave Nebraska and travel with a CCW in another state, so many of us made a choice.
What really needs to happen is a test case, where an otherwise totally law abiding citizen, violating no other law than the concealed carry of a handgun, is arrested, charged and convicted, and then push that case to the Nebraska Supreme Court on appeals for a definitive ruling that creates precedence.
Most people choose instead to give up essential liberty to gain a little security, save on legal fees and get the bonus of legal CCW in other states.
Morally it is not the way I want to go, but realistically, it is the best situation I can obtain with my limited resources, so I submit my prints and pay my fee and move on.
I am not quite the true patriot we all strive to be, but there is a line I will not be pushed past right there at my feet.

Thanks Dan. My goal is to save someone a lot of money and time by getting the Legislators the opportunity to correct a bad law that restricts the 2nd Amendment. I am thankful for your comments. God Bless
