You didn't say whether the handgun was "loaded" or not.

Makes a Big Difference.

Ahhhhhhhhh............   And if we only knew the complete, full, accurate, legal definition of "loaded".

Chris Z:
There is NO definition of a "Loaded Handgun" in Nebraska law that I am aware of.

"Unloaded and locked in a case" is what comes from Federal law....... which is dealing with Interstate transportation

Chris Z:

--- Quote from: jthhapkido on November 29, 2016, 02:16:34 PM ---The fact that it was loaded takes it out of clear transportation situations (not accessible to the driver, unloaded for transportation, etc), and into a grey area where it isn't well-defined  (not accessible, but not correct according to interstate transportation rules either)....which is another way of saying "we don't know because there isn't a clear answer, so the only way to find out would be in court."

...and you probably don't want to do that.

Note:  This isn't me disagreeing with Chris, I personally think you can't be "carrying" when it is locked away from you.  However, that doesn't mean that law enforcement will agree, and the law itself on this is....non-specific.

My personal opinion is that if you have a loaded gun in the car, inform.  If it is unloaded but on your person, inform.  If it is unloaded in a case, don't worry about it.

Its Ok to disagree with me  :-)
