Conceled carrying to NE question
mott555:
Omaha and Lincoln are only about 50 miles apart and there are lots of great firearms-friendly places to live between them.
There's also a state bill in the works to shut down the two cities' stupid laws, but I think it got hung up in committee or something. Nebraska as a state is generally gun-friendly, the cities are the problem.

I thought this was interesting:

it ranks you guys 35, and says the law is preemptive of local ordinance.

But state issues I would have to fight to change would be the no carry in church, signs having the weight of the law and a duty to retreat.

It should be noted that Omaha's mayor has a CCW and she had someone testify in favor of the preemption bill before the Unicameral. She isn't the one that enacted the city laws and appears to be in favor getting rid of them.

Well that's good at least, then maybe she would be receptive to a letter, of course I wouldn't be telling them anything they don't already know. Why are the laws the way they are? Do the cities have really bad crime, run by more liberal politicians? is the general poopulation just scared of guns? Thanks Mali.

Yes.
Omaha more so than Lincoln.
Yet, yesterday evening a 10-year old girl riding her bicycle in Lincoln in broad daylight (8pm) was shot in the knee by a random drive-by shooter.
Guess there musta been something about her appearance that the Bad Guy Shooter just didn't like. Maybe she was riding her bike on the sidewalk or something. News report sez it wuz a "small caliber" bullet. Hope the damage to the young lady is minimal.
