KS - Funny thing on the way to Constitutional Carry
GreyGeek:
Part of the population already practices Constitutional Carry - thugs, gang bangers, dope dealers, cartel members, etc. Restoring NE law to be compliant with the letter and spirit of the 2nd Amendment is the only practical and common sense thing to do. Then such low life would know for sure that ther attempts to commit violent crimes would be met with overwhelming resistance.
LEOs have nothing to fear because they'd know that everyone they meet could/would be packing and would behave appropriately, as would the law-abiding citizens. They'd also know that in any armed confrontation they might encounter there could be armed citizens nearby ready to assist.
Requiring high school kids to take firearm safety and handling courses along with Constitional Carry would be merely returning to the way things were during my youth.

I'm a CHP instructor & am all for Constitutional Carry. What is taught in the classes is important but shouldn't be mandatory.
NE Bull:
Many states (started in Arizona) that has went to a Constitutional Carry system have started groups "Train Me ______" Resources for all the training available in the state. Satisfied the instructors and lawmakers.

IT would be sweet to get on started in Nebraska BEFORE we take on the fight. Anyone feel like taking that project on?
depserv:
To me it isn't so much having a training requirement that's objectionable as it is having to get a license to exercise a Constitutional right. Having to pay for training, get fingerprinted, and then having to pay for the license itself make it worse, but the fundamental problem is that a license is necessary. Imagine having to get a license to exercise our first Amendment rights. Or any of our rights for that matter. Imagine if when police arrest people instead of reading the so-called Miranda rights police asked suspects if they had a license to exercise their 4th and 5th Amendment rights. (Actually that almost seems tempting.)
I agree completely with Grey Geek that gun safety should be taught in public schools. It's insane not to teach it. Something like the Eddie Eagle program should be taught early on, and then more in the higher grades.
If basic laws that we all have to follow are not taught in schools they should be. Anyone with a diploma should have been taught when use of deadly force is legally justified, among other things. I'd think this should be at least as important as things like feminist history.
I encourage everyone who has a gun to take at least one class (if not more) from a qualified instructor. I got an NRA instructor certification just because I teach friends informally on occasion and I wanted to make sure I was qualified to do it (I haven't used it yet to commit the thoughtcrime of capitalism). My objection is in citizens being forced to take classes in order to exercise a right.
