Omaha City Council ALERT! (CCW Related)
JebM:
Good letter Warhorse! Only problem I have with it is the Suttle is the mayor not Fahey.
WarHorse1961:
Doh! I'm an idiot. ;D Hopefully he'll "overlook" that. ::)
fathertime:
So what was the outcome of the council meeting? I did not see anything on the news or the councils website.
Is there a local reporter who is pro-gun who should know about this?
fathertime:
Just looking at the laws and its not just a knife over 3.5 inches.
28-1202. Carrying concealed weapon; penalty; affirmative defense.
(1)(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, any person who carries a weapon or weapons concealed on or about his or her person, such as a handgun, a knife, brass or iron knuckles, or any other deadly weapon, commits the offense of carrying a concealed weapon.
(b) It is an affirmative defense that the defendant was engaged in any lawful business, calling, or employment at the time he or she was carrying any weapon or weapons and the circumstances in which such person was placed at the time were such as to justify a prudent person in carrying the weapon or weapons for the defense of his or her person, property, or family.
(2) This section does not apply to a person who is the holder of a valid permit issued under the Concealed Handgun Permit Act if the concealed weapon the defendant is carrying is a handgun.
(3) Carrying a concealed weapon is a Class I misdemeanor.
(4) In the case of a second or subsequent conviction under this section, carrying a concealed weapon is a Class IV felony.
fathertime:
I meant to add this definition -
28-1201. Terms, defined.
(5) Knife means any dagger, dirk, knife, or stiletto with a blade over three and one-half inches in length or any other dangerous instrument capable of inflicting cutting, stabbing, or tearing wounds
So most anything could be considered a knife. It a huge stretch but, if I didn't trim my nails for week and kept my hands in my coat pockets, I would be carrying a concealed weapon.
