Concealed handgun size limits.
lunchbox:
Im sure this has been discussed in length, but the search function here seems to be less than stellar. If I read correctly on the original 2006 legislation. A handgun that is allowed with a CHP in Nebraska is considered anything with a barrel shorter than 16” and made to be fired with one hand.
DenmanShooter:
I just came across this and was surprised there wasn't even 1 reply.
That is an interesting little tidbit.
So, does that mean one COULD conceal a rifle, even without a CHP (since the H stands for Handgun, apparently)?
Or does that mean one cannot conceal a rifle at all?
Admittedly, concealing a rifle is difficult but not impossible.
Since having a rifle in a case is a form of "concealment" I would assume rifles are basically exempt then.
Makes my head hurt.
shooter:
If I expect enough trouble that I have to carry a rifle,. I aint goin there, I got a H&K 53 copy, 8.3 inch barrel 223, but damn, if you expect that much trouble, you better be going in as part of a fire team,
bullit:
Title 272 Chapter 21 002.07 "Handgun" shall mean any firearm with a barrel less than sixteen (16) inches in length or a firearm designed to be held and fired with one hand.
MY OPINION ... the intent of the above statement would DISALLOW the concealed CARRYING of a long gun ..... that being said, it would be allowable to carry an AR/AK variant pistol .... and that's a lot of firepower :)
