When is handgun considered concealed?
davep:
Chiefs of Police! And County Sheriffs are generally easily accessible, and open to discussing misunderstandings, differing views.
I have talked about this with active duty LE including the Sheriff, and they responded respectfully, but defended the LEO in this case, citing the "plain sight" requirement. Most were understanding, and even sympathetic, and agreed with the CA' decision to waive.
Dan W:
The only thing that will change law enforcement's attitudes are lawsuits, like false arrest and conspiracy to deny one's fundamental civil right to keep and bear arms under force of law
davep:
I know there are many members of the NFOA that are LEOs, both past and active. I have attempted to temper my posts, and not be inflammatory because these guys do have a tough job to do, and there are plenty of insulant, and offensive people out there looking for an excuse to bash them, I am not one of them, nor to I think the NFOA wants associated with any of them. I am also certain the vast majority of LEOs want to perform their duties professionally, and within statutory boundaries. I do believe this incident is a rare example of training not keeping up statute. I am troubled that the legislature would define concealed, Nebraska Administrative Code defines concealed for the State Patrol, and yet we have a trainer training a trainee, and making an arrest in conflict with their own code. Surely it won't take a court to say we need to think about this a minute.

Hmmm. I am thinking the NSP/Sheriff has to cite under local regulations for the jurisdiction where the offense occurred?

The location of the incident was in Nebraska.
He was charged under NRS 28-1202. 28-1202 is a Nebraska State statute, not a local ordinance.
