   Gamby brought up the issue during council comments, when no action can be taken, but both City Manager Wayne Anderson and Mayor Paris Fisher agreed that the gun-free status would be discussed at a future meeting.

Sandhillian:
I respect the councilman for raising the issue, and I agree with him philosophically.  However, I think the law is pretty clear that you can't legally carry a concealed handgun at a city council meeting, no matter what the city council has to say about it.  I don't see any exception for this in Neb. Rev. Stat. sec. 69-2441(1)(a).

Dan W:

Mntnman:
The article clearly states that they can waive the restriction.

Then, open carry on.

Mntnman...maybe you are joking and I'm not detecting the sarcasm, but if not...

Regardless of what the council members or the writer states, what statute allows a government agency to waive those restrictions?

From what I can find, carrying concealed at a city council meeting, among others, is strictly prohibited and no one has the authority to waive it.
