Concealed handgun size limits.

<< < (3/9) > >>

mott555:
I believe the Nebraska knife limit is only 3.5", as some here told me when I moved in-state and was sorting out my stuff to see what's legal and what isn't. If it's shorter than 3.5" you can conceal it as it isn't considered a weapon.

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 :)

Easily concealable...  ;)

"Also depending on location and time of year you might also run afoul of Nebraska Big Game laws that cover certain center fire rifles and handguns that are considered capable of taking certain big game animals without a valid unfilled tag in your possession."

Well let's just say that I wouldn't want to get caught driving around the back roads of Nebraska with a loaded AR in the car during firearm big game season with out a valid tag as that could open up a big can of worms. Think possible poaching/ illegal firearms possession depending on the mood of the GW/LE at the time.

That is an interesting opinion ..... my personal comments are 1) they would have to know I have it (e.g. RAS or PC to search my vehicle) unless I was in the act of hunting with it and 2) have  WHOLE lot evidence to support that I was actually hunting with said firearm.   Again, an interesting subtopic for conversation....

DR4NRA:
Be glad to discuss it later. Being at work it's kinda hard on my phone to answer, but do believe that last year the US Supreme Court granted game wardens a lot more power on search and seizure than normal LEO have. Case was out of California.
 Also do believe that they can confiscate the weapon by using the federal Asset Forfeiture law based on suspicion.
