180 day waiting period for CCW?
RobertH:
to volunteer.... just ask and watch the forums or facebook or twitter. any way you can help is a benefit to us as an organization. money is nice, but your time is better. make sure to join our monthly breakfasts in Gretna. those breakfasts are a great way of meeting new members and talking guns, etc. everything is kind of calm now, but the discussion really ramps up during the Legislative sessions. Make sure you're a Full Member so you can access the Member's Only section.

The definition of Resident is spelled out in Nebraska Tax Code.
Resident. A resident is an individual whose domicile is Nebraska, or an individual who is physically present in this state and maintains a permanent place of abode within this state for an aggregate of more than six months. Nebraska residence will be determined by Nebraska law. If an individual maintains a permanent place of abode in Nebraska and is present in Nebraska for at least 183 days during the tax year, that individual is a Nebraska resident even if domiciled in another state. For this purpose, Nebraska considers any part of a day spent in Nebraska as a day spent in the state.

Great question! The first thing you can do that WILL have an impact is to write a letter to your senator and tell them about your experience and your frustrations. Be blunt and honest about how you feel. Remain respectful, but tell them how you feel and how you are impacted by a law.
This does get a reaction. Senator Crawford was contacted by a frustrated constituent concerning similar aspects of the CHP Act and residency requirements. Her Legislative Aide contacted me to discuss the letter to gain some understanding about the issues raised in his email. Most senators do take communication from their constituents seriously.

There isn't much they could say since they did not make that decision. NSP was tasked with administering the CHP program but did not create the law itself. The senators in the legislature in 2006 decided to impose that requirement. The NSP will not comment on the legislatures actions.
JAK:
Have you asked the State Police what they will accept as proof for start of the six month wait? There may be a way to start the wait from when you arrived vs when you got a drivers licence.
The other possibility is are you military? If I remember right there are exceptions in place for military moving to the state.
