Military law- concealed carry permit- legal advice

<< < (2/6) > >>

Unfortunatly the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act does not apply, state law dictates on licenses and permits for residency status.  This Act referse to the ability to keep residency in a state where one has lived in the past and maintains a residency for tax purposes.

There is a bill (LB138) that is dealing with residency requirements and this (the Military Spouse issue) would be a good ammendment to the bill.  If you could send me some more information I can see if there is anything we do to get this change made (does not help you but would help the next person in your situation), send to NeFirearms@gmail.com.

Just for background, here's what the state CCW law states:

Current resident of the state of Nebraska having been a resident for at least the past one hundred eighty (180) days or a member of the United States Armed Forces stationed at a military installation in Nebraska pursuant to permanent duty station orders. Members of the United States Armed Forces so assigned may meet this requirement without waiting the one hundred eighty (180) days and are not excluded even if they maintain a residence in another state and claim that state for voting or tax purposes;

I agree.  This piece of the statute should be changed to include spouses.

If I remember correctly this was part of LB 430? or LB 817? and the original wording would have included spouses and dependent family members but that language got dropped because the antis had a fit about training or something like that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

So, as recommended I call the AG office, got forwarded a few times and ended up speaking to someone at the State Troopers office, who tried to help. But she spoke to their attorney and asked if a copy of our deed (showing we owned property in Nebraska listed as our primary residence) would be enough and I wouldn't have to go through with a full appeal process. Well, this attorney (if she may call herself that), replied that now I would need to change my license over since I am claiming NY as my primary residence... she apparently needs to READ the spouse relief literature.... it is NOT a primary residence, it is a "home of record", meaning that I am not required to change everything over every time we move (which is nice because before here, we have not been in a location greater than 17 months.... Not pleased that someone is just answering on a whim without even looking into the specifics... to me that is just ignorant

So.... have not gotten anywhere with that. Still plan on meeting with JAG and filing an appeal... although not sure if it would be a cheaper to just wait... but based on the above, not sure if they will grant it to me then anyway....

DaveB:
Nebraska does not issue non-resident permits. The only way I know of to get a Nebraska permit unless you yourself are in the military is to have the Nebraska drivers license. As wrong as this may be, it is the way I understand it to be. I also have a feeling that you are going to have to wait, and then don't know if you will get a Nebraska permit. I also don't know what the literature is that she should read, I will try and find something, but what I see so far is that you retain the right to vote and pay taxes only in the state you claim residency in, and that is NY.
