Customer Shoots Robber in Drug Store???
DanClrk51:
Well if it is true that he was cited back in 1997 for carrying concealed, that also means that he had no way to get a CHP once the CHP law was passed because the charge of carrying a concealed weapon automatically disqualifies you from getting the CHP permit. Am I wrong here? From what I remember any violation of any firearm law gets you automatically disqualified from a CHP.
So he did all he could to be as legal as he could be (registering the handgun, getting an Omaha open carry permit) but decided that it was safer and wiser to carry concealed.
And since the shooting was justified city prosecutor Marty Conboy should also do the right thing and drop the charge of "carrying a concealed weapon". If McCullough had done nothing, lives could have been lost. And if a second offense (carrying concealed) is a class 4 felony he will go to prison over this.
We need to get our ducks in a row here and if all this is true we should lobby Marty Conboy and the city to let this man go free. If we have to stage a "protest/picketing line" outside the prosecutors office so be it.
We need to not allow this man and this story to be forgotten. This needs to set a precedent to change our present gun laws to prevent good people from being charged with any crime when they do the right thing.

I'm in. To that end, we need to keep posting and writing to comment sections of the various News outlets- Public Pulse, et al ....

Guys- Mr McCullough is in the hands of a very good Attorney who is helping him. Out of respect for what little privacy he has left (that the news media has not reported or does not know) I am not going to go into the specifics of his situation here...... I will tell you this though- He is not facing a Felony 2nd offense CCW charge, and he had no firearms violations on his record. Remember the news media only gives you part of the story.
His Attorney is very good, and is working to persuade the County Attorney not to even file the CCW charge. Remember, he has only been cited by OPD... He has not been charged.
Mr McCullough is very thankful for all of the support he is receiving from the public.

So what does everybody think? Is it time to follow the lead of VT, AK, and AZ and push forward with Vermont Carry legislation here in NE? ;D
