LB430 UPDATE 5/13/09: LB430 Passes 45-3; thank the Senators

<< < (22/54) > >>

RICHARD D LONG:
As I read the amendment to LB430, Omaha would be allowed to keep their registration scheme, which effectively outlaws concealed carry unless you register whatever gun you have at the time with the Omaha police, hopefully before you are contacted by an officer.  Is this interpretation correct?

Aldo:
The other day I wrote to the NE Senators via e-mail:

* Dear Sen XYXYXYXY,

LB 430 is very, very important for it to be approved as it provides much needed clarification of the existing Concealed Handgun Permit Act in Nebraska.  I am concerned, though, about the pending amendment (AM 835) relative to how the amendment will dilute the clarification and intent of the originally worded LB 430.

Please do all that you can to ensure that LB 430 stays intact.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

XYXYYXYY

The response from Sen Fulton yesterday was:

* XYXYXX,

Thanks for being attentive to this bill.

Making this my priority bill ensures it will be debated.  Hopefully we have the votes to make it into the consistent law of Nebraska.  The Judiciary Committee has slapped an amendment on the bill which might negate it...I'm not sure though.  I'll discuss with Senator Christensen and other members whether there still remains a loophole in the committee amendment.

Thanks again.
Tony

Response from Sen Janssen yesterday was:


* I will. And I was the lone co sponsor of LB 430.

Response from my representative Sen McGill yesterday was:


* XYXYXY,
 
I do not believe LB 430 will pass without the amendments.  In its original form, it went way beyond making conceal and carry uniform across the state.  I do not support the original language that would not allow local cities to have their own laws dealing with firearms in general.  Lincoln has some laws that I think are beneficial to the community.  While I can see an argument on making conceal and carry uniform, I think local control much be maintained when it comes to firearm laws in general.

I see that today (April 1), the legislature did not get to LB 430 in the morning session.  Not sure if there is an afternoon session today, or if we'll have to wait until Thursday.

Aldo:
LB 430 DEBATE STARTING RIGHT NOW.....2:58PM

Lorimor:

Jesse T:
