For those interested, first time application for chp took 55 days. Turned in paper work Jan. 9th.

Congratulations! A year ago they were taking about 4-5 weeks. The Nebraska Code says they have 45 calendar days to process. Perhaps a representative from here can stop the delays if a pattern starts. One of the ways to fight legislation that is disagreed with,is to underfund the implementation. "We're doing the best that we can. But,the budget,outdated equipment,all these applications,the law is unreasonable in regards to the time constraints,etc." All are intended to harass,annoy, delay,and just plain disrupt and discourage. I'm not saying this is the case,just that it's a possibility. Thanks for the heads-up, Jakub. Hopefully other recent ccw appliers will chime in.   RJ

Yet another reason for constitutional carry..............government incapability.

For future reference, others who encounter an unlawful delay in the issuance of their concealed carry permit should do something about it. The cheapest, easiest way to "do something" is to call the governor's office and inform the person that you talk to that an executive branch agency is not complying with a statutory obligation. You may think this is pointless, but I assure you that this is taken very seriously.

Yes, there is no question that constitutional carry is best and should be the ultimate goal of gun activists in Nebraska. People have a natural and constitutional right to keep and bear arms. No one should have to pay a state agency in order to exercise a fundamental right.

In the meantime, though, one thing that could be done to improve the permit wait time significantly is to remove the requirement for a full FBI criminal background check. Doing away with that check and replacing it with a NICS check would also do away with a significant portion of the cost to State Patrol of processing permit applications.
