Action Needed: State Wide Preemption - LB289
Les:
A group I belong to invited Sen Haar to several meetings in the summer of 2013 to share views on bill we wanted to introduce in the Legislature, it may or may not shock some of you how little some Senators actually know about the legislation they're passing, I know I was.
RobertH:
i finally remembered to send Sen Morfeld an email. i think he is in favor of it, but will report back after i hear from him.
tackle8:
I sent an email to Sen. Kolterman in Dist. 24, and will report back any reply that I get.
TroyR:
I am disappointed by the response from Kolowski. Anyone else in District 31, please send him a note or call him. I'm surprised and disappointed when a former marine and someone who claims to support 2A, comes back with a response like this. I even gave a real example of driving from SW Omaha to a farm north of Tekamah this weekend to visit a friend and do some shooting, means I was probably a criminal passing through various Nebraska small towns.
His response:
Dear Mr. Rader:
Thank you for your email on LB 289. I apologize for not responding earlier but Senator Kolowski was out of town last week. I talked to him about your email and he remains undecided on LB 289. He has taken the concealed carry course, and as a former marine he understand the importance of guns and is a supporter of the second amendment. However he generally supports local control and the ability of municipalities and local elected officials to make decisions that are best for their localities. However, you obviously have a real concern when you are legally carrying a concealed weapon and then the status changes because of local rules you may not even be aware of.
He has not made up his mind yet on how he will vote on LB 289 when it comes up for debate next year. Emails from constituents like yourself are helpful to him in deciding on this issue.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Tom Green
Legislative Aide for Senator Kolowski
RobertH:
Got my reply from Morfeld.
Hi RobertH,
Thanks for getting in touch. I remain in support of LB 289, and unless there is some drastic amendment or change in the purpose of the legislation, I will remain in support.
Stay in touch!
Adam
