Greetings,
I am new to this site forum and joined to speak about the CCW reform that took place against permit holders. I have personally spoken to Steve Shaw, the legislature in Lincoln that wrote the right to carry law. He told me on both occasions when we spoke, and I quote "it was never our intention that individual cities would be able to override the CCW permit law". He stated that it was these cites that were choosing to define and interpret that last clause to fit their own needs. He clearly said it was not their intentions.
The bad news is that to get it changed, one must address the legislature when they meet in January and it is becoming too late now for this years session. All though the NRA has a representative that will be sent, I don't know that this will be 1st on their agenda.
Shaw also stated that the only other way to get the definition interpreted properly was to challenge a CCW charge in court. I don't know about you all, but I can't see anyone wanting to play the scapegoat and spend the money to try it. If you did not prevail, your license would be revoked and you would have a CCW charge on your record. In short, you would be a criminal.
What do you think? I mean this is where we have to start and its going to take organized work. We would have to start at the bottom with NRA and Judicial Branch to get the interpretation correct. That is going to take, effort, and money; all which people seem to be short on these days.
