Omaha City Council ALERT! (CCW Related)

<< < (3/6) > >>

rluening:
Apparently it was amended - the new motion makes little sense in light of LB430...

I'm at work and busy. Maybe it will make more sense when I get a change to read it later.

The amendment:

AAllen:
Well at least that way they are directing it toward the criminals carrying with out a permit, rather than law abiding folks.

rluening:
Maybe, but the state CCW law only applies to permit holder who can no longer be charged under local CCW laws.

I think they just wanted to make themselves feel good....

Chris Z:
Basically the city council wants the legislature to make the offense of carrying a concealed weapons FIRST OFFENSE a FELONY (currently a misdemeanor).

This issue has nothing to do with a law abiding concealed handgun permit holder.

However if legislation such as this does happen, which it will.... We will need to watch closely how it is worded.

Randy:
So this proposed law would make it very easy to be charged with a Felony just because of a minor infraction of the Nebraska Handgun Permit Act?

What a bunch of Bureaucracy Bull.

Members we need to monitor this one closely and be prepared to act accordingly by contacting all representatives involved..
