lb 817 ??

<< < (4/4)

DanClrk51:
I don't oppose 817 either. Well both Ashford's and Council's amendments have been withdrawn. But we need to really look into this issue and perhaps come up with a bill repealing this language. I know the legislature is trying to do Omaha's bidding tackling gangs and drive by shootings in this regard. But this language is so broad it can apply to almost anyone discharging a firearm. They need to look at some of the other State's language such as Arizona's that spells out what they are targeting.

"Discharging a firearm at an occupied structure in order to assist, promote or further the interests of a criminal street gang, a criminal syndicate or a racketeering enterprise"

See Arizona bill HB2347: This bill is a proposal to change current Arizona law regarding concealed weapons but most of it already is law including the above quoted section. Only colored and stricken areas would be new to the law.

I have proposed the following amendment to clarify what would be a lawful discharge of a firearm within this statute; I'm hoping it will receive support.

Nothing in this Statute prohibits actions taken in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated under Chapter 37 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes or special rules and regulations that make available activities described by Chapter 37 available to those with handicaps.

Chapter 37 is where Game and Parks derives it's authority as well as Game Laws are placed and the Range Protection Act resides.

"They need to look at some of the other State's language..."

Yeah right.  That would be TOO novel for the NE Unicameral.  The "Safe Haven Law" is evidence of how they monkey things up to the nth degree.

tut:
I'm looking for, but maybe one of you guys can point me in the direction of when LB 817 takes effect now that it's been signed.  Specifically, when can we say F.U. to Omaha's gun registration scheme and carry a free firearm without Omaha's stamp of Fuhrer approval?

AAllen:
LB817 will take effect 90 days after the Legislature ended their session so July 13th by my count.
