I am amazed that I have not read about this here or on some other boards.
I became aware of this when a young person in Lincoln had all of his firearms confiscated by police.
Seems he had a misdemeanor ticket for pot possession several years ago.
But it appears that 2 DUIs in ten years can get you the same treatment.
If I were in Nebraska I would be screaming about this from every rooftop, but alas I am stuck in a worse place.
I hope you folks can get this turned around.
Best Wishes

Well many of us were screaming at the top of our lungs , but not many listened then. That is one of many reasons I have been here every night making sure the NFOA has a voice.
Welcome to the forums
I think that many of these City ordinances become null and void, if you have a Concealed Handgun Permit, after LB430 went into effect on AUG. 30 2009. That may also make it very hard for the City of Lincoln to prosecute non permit holders too.
Don't have a CHP... here's another good reason to get one, to keep Lincoln from enforcing the penalties for a felony crime against those that have not been convicted of a felony.
I do not condone any of the crimes listed above, but if the State of Nebraska does not think that they rise to level of a felony , then Lincoln needs to live with that

Thanks Dan,
and I am sure all of your members appreciate your efforts.
The young man in question is a duck hunting friend and this hit him just as the season was starting so it is pretty sad.
He made a mistake when he was young, single and foolish, paid his fine and thought it was over and done.
Now he is older, but not quite 10 years older and has a wife and family and settled down.
Some of us on the Duck Hunters Refuge (http://duckhunter.net) are considering getting up a legal fund to help him get his guns back.
First goal is to convince him to fight (after busting his chops pretty seriously for his stupidity) and perhaps find a reasonably priced local lawer to challenge this law or at least get his gun rights restored.
Keep up the good work !

Whats more the County Sheriff"s office will refuse to give a gun purchase permit to any one with these misdeameanors on thier record, denieing them thier rights to purchase under state law elsewhere in the state. But only if the person has a Lincoln address, out of town address.. they can"t refuse. Talk about discrimitory
