Pre-emption already in place???

"LINCOLN (AP) ? Nebraska cities aren?t allowed to trump state law and ban the carrying of concealed weapons."

AG Jon Bruning may have done us all a favor unknowingly!  Can we use this to push those 13 cities to get the bans taken off the books?

Fantastic news! 

I wonder if we can still get a reciprocity bill introduced?

I think that I'll make copies of that article and put them in my truck and my wallet to serve as a resource should there ever be an "issue" when a resource might be needed to help clarify the situation.  ;)

As I have said elsewhere, these local POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS ignore the State Constitution...... what the hell do they care what the AG thinks?

The Right to Keep and BEAR Arms is enshrined explicitly in both our State and Federal Constitutions, yet most of us are afraid to actually excercise that Right, for very good reason: there is a good chance of being arrested........ and  THAT is a damned shame.  III.

Jim, I don't think it will affect the cops decision when he stops you to check out your gun or for speeding or whatever.  However it is a good tool to help convince those cities who have banned concealed carry to get it off their books or add an exemption for CCW holders.
