KS - Funny thing on the way to Constitutional Carry
NE Bull:
I'll brag about one of our own- He makes a good living lately writing gun trusts for folks wanting to obtain NFA items-meanwhile, he also helped draft language for a bill that would make NFA paperwork in NE a SHALL SIGN (as opposed to may sign) by CLEO. Has assisted the introducing senator in preparing, AND testified on behalf of the NFOA in Support of the bill. That's Heroic right there!
Chris Z:
You won't see this CHP Instructor opposing efforts for Constitutional Carry.
And if the training requirement goes away, about 99% of Instructors will be out of business. Life goes on, I'd rather have Constitutional Carry in Nebraska.
farmerbob:
From what I've heard from states that have constitutional carry, more people are seeking out firearms training. ( can't remember the source but I think it was on AAR or Gun Talk)
What I meant to say is there is a bigger demand for training in states that have become constitutional carry states.
I believe most people would get their CHP, without it you could only carry in 5 or 6 states.

It would surprise me greatly if many CCW instructors at ALL had any issue with constitutional carry here.
From a purely monetary perspective, very few CCW instructors make much money from their classes----and even fewer teach it for monetary purposes. Some do, sure---but it would still surprise me if CCW instructors in Nebraska spoke against constitutional carry here.
I'd be perfectly happy to stop teaching CCW classes. The only reason I got certified in the first place (after several years of telling people to go to Zeeb's classes) was that people couldn't always MAKE it to Zeeb's classes, and they kept asking. I still send them to Chris if I don't have one scheduled anytime soon.
If everyone in Nebraska could actually exercise their right to carry effective tools for self-defense without having to make it obvious (so: concealed) without having to jump through hoops to get "permission" to do so, I'd think of that as a good thing. Most CCW instructors that I've talked to would agree.
NE Bull:
jthhapkido, Chris Z. Ya'll need to join the NRA Certified Instructors page on Facebook!
Those guys complain about the next guy under cutting their costs, and states doing away with permits, etc.
They almost peed themselves when Gary told of his two for one specials/ Mothers'/Fathers' day specials, free basic training for new gun owners and when I said, since I got my credentials thru the Boy Scouts, I literally volunteer my time, and thus far I haven't charged anyone for any of the basic training (other than costs of range time/ ammo.
IF have to be in it for the safety and the good of the Firearm Community and LIBERTY.
