Improvements in NE gun laws I'd like to see
depserv:
Any kind of "level II" license for carrying in certain sensitive areas would have to be issued on a shall issue basis once certain provisions are met, such as I suppose a marksmanship test, and I don't know what else, since it's kind of hard to assess how a person will do in an emergency. Any kind of may issue license system will be abused. My opinion is the only license any of us should need is Article 2 of the Bill of Rights.
Is South Point Mall in Lincoln posted as a felon friendly zone? I don't remember seeing any such signs.
mott555:
The Level II CHP sounds like an interesting idea. Personally I'd rather ALL CHP's be like that, but we can't have everything we want. Additional mandatory training would make it easier to sell to the general public/legislature.
mott555:
And I've always wondered what the purpose is for fingerprinting CHP applicants? Do they get filed in a database somewhere? Or are they used as part of the background checks and run against cold cases with unidentified fingerprints on record? And if the latter, what is the success rate of catching these criminals by fingerprinting applicants (has to be dang near 0)?
From the outside looking in, it seems like unnecessary overhead with no practical purpose.

Although you are correct, I want to point out that Nebraska evaluated all states CCW requirements to determine which states we would recognize. That process took place prior to major changes in the Iowa carry laws. If they were to re-evaluate, Iowa would drop off the list of recognized states for the reasons you noted above.
farmerbob:
It has always amazed me how many NFOA members pretend they are against gun free zones, yet they aren't willing to get rid of the law that enforces them.
Many states, including several around Nebraska, their laws do not support no gun signs, private property owners can post them but, it's up to them to ask Individual to leave, if individual refuses, law is called and a trespass warrant could be prosecuted, just like any other behavior a business doesn't agree with. (NO NEED TO HAVE A SPECIAL LAW PROSECUTING INDIVIDUALS FOR EXERCISING A RIGHT)
