Don't forget to thank the Senators that stood up for us in this effort. Once the voting record is posted, I will try to post a list of those that voted in our favor

In my email,  He also stated that Lincoln had "opted out" of concealed carry... not very informed are we Kenny

So, a little help here. What and when is the next action? More to the point when will this be final, and made law?

Next round is Select File.
Select File is the second debating and voting stage. This step allows another opportunity for amendment, compromise and reflection. Bills on Select File may be indefinitely postponed or advanced to the next stage. After Select File, bills are sent to E&R again to be rechecked. Bills then are reprinted for Final Reading.

Final Reading

Before final passage, all bills are constitutionally required to be read aloud in their entirety by the Clerk of the Legislature, unless three-fifths (30 members) of the Legislature votes to waive the requirement. A bill may not be amended or debated on Final Reading, but may be returned to Select File for a specific amendment. Bills may not be voted on for final passage until at least five legislative days after the bill is introduced, and one legislative day after it is placed on Final Reading.

Can't thank you guys enough - especially FarmerRick and Aldo. I have been passing along your reports to other friends who are not members here. At least 3 of them, besides myself, have sent emails and/or snail mails to our state Senators. You are reaching more than just the members here.

Amendment993 introduced by Senator Avery
« Reply #132 on: April 09, 2009, 03:32:40 AM »
Avery's AM993 is not good at all! I don't like the fact that the vote on this was 29 ayes, 0 nayes, 17not voting, 3 absent. Are the pro people just agreeing with every amendment so we can just get the bill passed?!!

This amendment is a problem because anyone who drives to a school, college, or university etc. is not allowed to have a loaded gun in their own vehicle and the gun needs to be encased. Which means this would include CCW people. Furthermore, if you are a student you cannot possess a gun in your vehicle at all even if you have a CCW permit!

I have a permit. I am a university student. So for instance I go do my errands for the day and have my loaded gun on my person. My first stop is the university to make a short stop at the bookstore to buy or sell a book. Oops, I cant go now because I have a gun. This means I have to leave the gun at home, and then go back to campus and do my business. Then I after go back home, get my gun and then continue on with errands! This is not fair.

Christensen should amend this to allow adult students or nonstudents with a Concealed Handgun Permit to be exempt from this rule as long as they don't remove the handgun from the vehicle. If they want to ban guns on university and college property fine! But they shouldn't be dictating what I can or cannot possess in my vehicle. I think this is a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment and the Nebraska constitution.

have to agree... 993 is a mess, it violates the original intent which was clarity and consistency no matter where you are in the state...

This is what I received from Senator Bill Avery...

Quote
I plan to vote for this bill when it comes up again for second round debate.  I managed to get it amended on first round to more clearly define "schools" so that college and universities were included.  With that amendment, I voted to advance the bill and will continue to support it through Final Reading.
Thanks for contacting me.  I appreciate your interest in the legislative process.
Sen. Bill Avery

Is he a little confused or am I?  I didn't think LB430 addressed school carry.  Is he thinking of the original CC legislation?

Hhhmmmm....I don't like this amendment at all!!  As a CHP holder, why should I not be able to appropriately store my handgun in my vehicle while I am parked on "school" property (even university)....and me not in the vehicle?

Aldo, I don't like it either (for Avery's amendment and the "designated Only Ones" for Carry in Church), but is an improvement over what we have.
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.
