Local Gun Laws in Nebraska
SemperFiGuy:
And a Bit More from the Nebraska State Constitution:
I-1. Statement of rights.
All persons are by nature free and independent, and have certain inherent and inalienable rights; among these are life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the right to keep and bear arms for security or defense of self, family, home, and others, and for lawful common defense, hunting, recreational use, and all other lawful purposes, and such rights shall not be denied or infringed by the state or any subdivision thereof. To secure these rights, and the protection of property, governments are instituted among people, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
When I first read that section of the Nebraska Constitution many years ago, it was very reassuring that I had moved to the right state. But I've since found out that it sorta doesn't mean squat. :P

I hope I don't get arrested for not knowing every city, town, and county laws.

To my knowledge, only CHP holders have preemption, which is why we need to push for statewide preemption laws which includes everyone.

Correct, but note preemption only covers handguns carried pursuant to a valid CHP, not long guns.

True, I forgot to clarify that in my post. Thanks for the correction.
JAK:
While I agree that there shouldn't be any firearm laws lower then the state, I have done some work at finding out what the laws are in other cities in Nebraska.
Please keep in mind that these are the ones for the cities that I looked up and do not include all of the cities in the state.
Hope this helps, the date the info was downloaded should be at the start of each document.
