From the State Patrol FAQ, in answer to the question, "What if I move to Nebraska with a permit from another state": Answer:  A valid permit from another state that is recognized by Nebraska for Reciprocity Purposes will allow you to apply immediately and the 180 day Residency Period will be waived.  All other application requirements still apply including the application fee, background check, handgun training and safety course and all other applicable documentation. .

The Patrol's answer doesn't cover the period from the day you "officially" become a resident of Nebraska to the day your Nebraska permit arrives. Can you carry concealed on your previous state's permit during that time? I suspect not.

HuskerXDM:
No you cannot.

I believe the full answer there is as follows:
YES, per regulations quoted earlier, you may apply immediately to receive your CCP in NE because you have a valid out of state permit, but NO you may not carry until such time as you receive your NE permit.

It's a catch 22, but at least you aren't stuck waiting 180 days to apply and then another 6-8 weeks before getting it.
