Open Carry in Vehicle in Nebraska?
barmandr:
So, since NE is a "duty to inform" state, if you get pulled over for speeding and inform the officer that you are licensed and carrying, you'll end up getting arrested? How has this not been addressed?

That's an interesting scenario and by the letter of the law you're right. As others have said this is why we need preemption at a state level. We've got the bill out there and out of committee. All we need is it to come to vote and some good senators to support it.
SemperFiGuy:
A hint was made up above about Omaha's requirement of a permit for Open Carry.
To firm up that point, the Omaha MuniCode requires a formal officially-issued permit for Open Carry in Omaha: Handgun Identification Card [which is the name actually headlined on the permit].
This permit further requires an 8-hour class w/written and range qualification exams, generally the same as NE Concealed Handgun Permit requirements.
As the saying goes, "Don't Leave Home Without It."
Or...............Just drive a big circle around Omaha. Sorta like the Bigger Circle around Illinois.

My comment on this item will appear to be extremely harsh, because it............is:
Any time that a Citizen is in possession of a handgun in the presence of an LEO, that Citizen is in Deep Jeopardy.
Why do I say so?
Because that LEO can draw his service weapon, gun down and kill the Citizen where he sits, and then make any number of claims (reaching for the gun, pointing it at LEO, yada-yada-yada). And then will be completely exonerated after an internal investigation has been completed.
Like I've already clearly admitted, the above comment is extremely harsh.
It's also something to think about each time that you, your handgun, and an LEO are in the same place-time event.

As I understand it, state law pre-empts this requirement if you hold a CHP.
The same applies to Blair's ordinance. If a CHP holder is arrested for carrying, he will win in court. The only question will be how much time and money, his and Blair citizens', will be wasted before Blair officials concede defeat.
