Nebraska Students for Concealed Carry
wallace11bravo:
Received potentially positive responses from two state legislators so far:
Senator Tony Fulton (29, south central Lincoln)
Senator Pete Pirsch (4, western Omaha-ish)
Both expressed interest in meeting in person, Senator Tony used particularly positive wording. I'll be holding off meeting them in person until I can get everything/everyone more organized, and receive counsel from veteran NFOA members/directors on proper protocol for these meetings. I would prefer to avoid any missteps, political or personal, so early on this journey. If Dan or Allen would be willing to let me 'tag along' to an NFOA meeting with one or more legislators, I would much appreciate it.
Also, as far as females in the organization: the campus director for Doane is a lovely young lady whom I recently introduced to firearms. I spoke to my German professor today, and much to my surprise, she has a CHP and used to open carry daily when she worked on the NA reservation (she doesn't look/act the type at all). I am hoping to talk her into taking an active role in the organization in the future. Also received a very negative response from an English teacher... eh, she's not even a citizen, but she had said some things before that made me believe she would be supportive. Kinda puzzling.

Yes, Senator Fulton is a great guy and very supportive to work with, unfortunately this is his last year in the Legislature. I hear that there may be something exciting for him in the near future once his time in the Legislature is over but I have not heard what, thats being kept under wraps at the moment.
Even with him not being in the Legislature he would be able to assist in writing bills, teaching how to effectively Lobby, and sharing who will be your friends and who will be opposed to your efforts. The education he can give is invaluable.
This is where I take a moment and thank all the Senators who take the time to teach us how to be more effective and all the little things they do to help make organizations like ours go.

With the education crowd you'll certainly need logical arguments with statistics to counter every one of the media myths you'll run into. Best of luck!

Common sense does not prevail in institutions of "higher learning".
The big red U of N controls the legislature..... They get whatever they want. Convince them guns are good and you can fix the entire state. (OK, except the city of Omaha) ------ It absolutely disgusts me that taxpayer dollars fund a good chunk of this institution and yet their liberal, lack of common sense leaders dictate whatever they want with the Legislature.
I worked for MCC for 10 years....... For faculty active shooter training, their "so called Police Chief" told me I should throw a stapler or a chair at a guy with an AK 47 if he turned on me...... Seriously......... I decided I valued my personal safety more than I enjoyed my teaching job there, so I left.
