Constitutional Carry in Nebraska! ~~POLL~~

<< < (2/6) > >>

NE Bull:

Agree and Agree. We could start kickin around the idea with in our own camp, but let's throw all our weight at the VPA and signage this year.  Constitutional Carry is probably something we would never get passed here in Nebraska, but on the other hand it might get us to a compromise that ends up better than what we have now.  (Learned from years in the used car business; Ask for everything the auto is worth, accept what you need to cover the cost and make a little profit) ;)

Dan W:
poll fail

We already have Constitutional Carry for all the good it has done.

All persons are by nature free and independent, and have certain inherent and inalienable rights; among these are life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the right to keep and bear arms for security or defense of self, family, home, and others, and for lawful common defense, hunting, recreational use, and all other lawful purposes, and such rights shall not be denied or infringed by the state or any subdivision thereof. To secure these rights, and the protection of property, governments are instituted among people, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Now if we can pass a bill that forces the powers that be to honor the state constitution...

armed and humorous:
I haven't been around the forum for awhile, until recently, so perhaps this has been discussed before.  However, for the sake of the poll accuracy, it might be a good idea to explain what is meant by a Constitutional Carry Bill.

unfy:
I think Castle Doctrine and Uniform Signage should be tackled first... personally.

Uniform Signage is perhaps the easiest (i guess ???) ... and would really help.  I hate walking up to a new store and looking like an idiot for a minute while i read the trillion signs they have on their doors / windows to see if there's a tiny no carry sign etc.

And Castle Doctrine is... well... covers everyone rather than just those that want to carry.  Having to worry about legal percussions in your own home in the middle of the night is b.s..

FarmerRick:
Constitutional Carry has been implemented in Arizona, Alaska, Wyoming and of course Vermont.   It has been introduced in Iowa, Georgia, Colorado and many other states.

Wiki page on Constitutional or "Unrestricted" Carry:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrestricted_carry

Basically, it is a recognition of the 2nd Amendment as the right to carry a concealed weapon without need for a permit from the sate.
 
Novel idea, eh?   ;)
