Jesse T:
What about the lincoln parks ban? Can CCW'ers carry in parks now thanks to LB430?

"12.08.200 Weapons Prohibited in Parks.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to possess or discharge, or cause to be discharged,
within any park, any firearm, including, but not limited to, any pistol, revolver, shotgun, or rifle."

Again, that is a city ordinance...not state.  LB430 overrides it.

Yes, Jesse T, my understanding (which isn't saying much since I am not an attorney) from listening to the floor debates and from my reading of LB 430, Lincoln's park stuff is superseded by LB 430.

During one of the debates, the issue came up, and a pro-LB 430 Senator said that a CHP could carry in the Lincoln parks, and that if an officer came up suspecting of a person carrying (??seeing a "print"???), all the CHP holder has to do is to show his/her CHP, and all would be well.

Randy:
OK I am confused here is it so that 90 days after governor signed vs 3 months after close of Unicameral Session if unsigned but not vetoed. If so we need to update the front page date.

Article below from Columbus Telegam:
"The City of Columbus has 90 days from the day the governor signed the bill to come into compliance with the new legislation, which would place the deadline Aug. 17."

Reply to my email question about date below.
"During composition of the article I confirmed with the governor's office that the legislation would go into effect 90 days after Gov. Heinemann signed the bill. Had he not signed nor vetoed the bill the legislation would have gone into effect three calendar months after the final day the Unicameral was in session.

If you have any other inquiries do not hesitate to contact me."

Just joined (thanks to a referral on another message board) and I'll toss out my first post in the form of a question:  I saw that the Omaha city requirement to register was not eliminated from the final version submitted and signed by the governor.  I have a Taurus Judge that I got from a store inside the city limits, so of course I had to go through the hoops of registering it.  I also have a Walther PP, which I purchased in Germany over 20 years ago and is probably going to be my primary carry weapon ("His Honor" will be the home defense pistol).  My question is whether or not I would be in violation of the city statute if I carried my Walther in Omaha and had to ID myself to a LEO?   ???  I realize that this might sound like an obvious one to some folks, but sometimes things are decided around very fine points of a law. 

Also, has anybody seen any indication or discussion of what the criteria are or will be for reciprocity?  I believe the AG is supposed to make the list of states that Nebraska will recognize & reciprocate with, but I haven't seen anything on that subject with any potential or likely states named.

Any insight on this is appreciated.  Thanks!!!
