Constitutional Carry in Nebraska! ~~POLL~~

<< < (3/6) > >>

bk09:
I seem to be outnumbered here on this one. I voted no because there are too many people inexperienced with guns who would carry concealed and not be smart about it. They would not always use a holster, not use bullets meant for defense(meaning over penetration and possible injury of other people around), limited knowledge of their gun could mean they are a less than ideal shot also resulting in injury to others. And with no training on how to properly draw could alert the criminal they have a gun before they can unholster and make sure the weapon is ready to go (probably don't make sure it is always locked and loaded with safety off) meaning Mr./Mrs. bad person shoots them first. Scares me to picture some kid who was given his dads gun trying to be cool and showing it off in public. Too many accidents waiting to happen in my opinion. I turn 21 in less than 3 months and plan on getting a .22 pistol to learn my basics and gain enough confidence to make difficult shots before even getting a ccw pistol or training. My $.02 take it or leave it

armed and humorous:
I'm going to abstain on this one.  In theory, I agree with the idea that anyone who can legally own a gun ought to be able to carry it, concealed or not.  On the other hand, I shudder to think how many people without a clue might decide to start packin' if they were allowed to do it concealed, no questions asked.

Since my renewed permit is good for another five years from today, I don't think I'll worry about it for now.

FarmerRick:
There are no government hoops to jump though in order to open carry in Nebraska(I know, except in Obamaha), why should I be forced to jump through hoops if I want to cover my weapon with a shirt or jacket?

Supersparky:
Nebraska's shooting qualification to obtain a CCW can be passed by someone who has never even shot a handgun before.  I witnessed it at the class I took.  I don't really see the difference between constitutional or carry by permit in terms of people being experienced.  You are always going to have the people that train and the people that just get by, laws are not going to change that.

WallPhone:
It's embarrassing that Nebraska was one of the last states to adopt shall-issue, just like we're behind the curve on Victim Protection and one of the last states to adopt a safe-haven law. (Boy did we mess THAT one up...)

Time to be proactive.
