This bill is reigning in those cities that have exceeded that authority. I have more on that topic, but that is enough to respond with for now.

I will do that. Thank you.

Mike is good guy. I've been on both sides of legal issues with him and have been impressed with him as both an adversary and when working on the same side.

I had a great conversation with him last year when he was running for AG. I was pleased with some of his ideas. Of course you hear a lot of things when someone is running for office, but these were not the usual talking points and were unsolicited.

E-mail sent to Kate Bolz (District 29).
She came around door-to-door this summer and I spoke with her about this bill for quite some time. I emphasized the point that tourism is big business in Lincoln, but most of that is not what you usually think of when you say "tourism". It's not a bunch of visitors flying in from out of state to visit the National Museum of Roller Skating. No, it's intra-state travel and tourism for sporting events, business conferences, state FFA convention, etc. etc. A lot of Lincoln residents have friends and relatives from Out West coming into the Big City throughout the year, and when those visitors are here in town they love to shop. But they could go to Scheels, buy a new hunting shotgun, leave it safely locked in their car trunk over the weekend, and unintentionally run afoul of the city ordinance. Somehow that's supposed to make us all safer?
Anyway, Kate seemed really receptive face-to-face. I'm hoping I can get a positive response in writing.

Needless to say, Matt Hansen won't be getting a vote from me anytime in the near future:
Thank you for sharing your support for LB289. I certainly understand the dilemma this places on responsible gun owners.
However, I believe that cities and villages should have the power to regulate themselves above what is required by state law. For instance, Lancaster county has prohibited the possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in domestic violence or substance abuse facilities or shelters.
The views of constituents are very important to our office, so we will keep your information on file.
If you have further questions or concerns, please call our office at (402) 471-2610.
Sincerely,
State Senator Matt Hansen
District 26, State Capitol
