Please keep us informed WW

Ok, so do we have a lot of people that agree that we should pursue legal action to get our rights back? Let me know what you think. I can even get a place to meet if we need one. It holds about 50-60 people.

ranger04:
I think we NEED to do this. I stated in an email to Jay that I would love to nominate Columbus as the first to be filed on :) If we can find an attorney that would take the case, getting the funds together would not be a big issue I believe. Strength in Numbers. We also need to keep pushing the legislature to get LB430 moving.

--- Quote from: FreedomOne on February 15, 2009, 09:46:46 PM ---Thanks for some great feedback! It's good to see that there are more of us out there that realize we are already legal to carry, by a law already on the books. This was before the ccw or any of the other "illegal" laws that were added. Shouldn't there be a lawyer willing to take this up with Nebraska government, and point out the error of it's ways? And how does Omaha and/or Lincoln get away with adding laws that are in contradiction to already existing laws, and enforce them? Any ideas or thoughts on what could/should be done to correct these mistakes? Should we organize, form a group and hire a lawyer? Should we form a group and protest these illegal laws at the legislature level? We can talk all we want to. I for one, would like to do something about it. One person alone might not be able to afford a lawyer, but perhaps a large group of us could? Just a thought. Action needs to be taken or we can watch our rights go right out the window! Or have they already? It's not too late if we act now!

I have discussed this issue with a lawyer in the past. He said the best way to challenge the law would be to find the cleanest person you could that has a history in military or law enforcement. Have them take the CCW class and fingerprints and everything else for a CCW license but not pay the fee. When he gets denied for not paying the fee, he would have grounds to sue the government to change the law. This is probably the most important part as many lawsuits that challenge laws are dismissed because the person doesn't have the grounds to sue.

Also, as it is my understanding, the group that originally got the firearms section added to the Nebraska constitution's statement of rights back in the 1980's did so with the intent to make Nebraska an unlicensed ccw state. If you can get a representative from that group to testify as such, it would greatly help the case as many judges base decisions off of the original intent of the law.
