Are there any reliable numbers published on how many have been issued in Nebraska?

Indeed, its very surprising. Compared to our 15 or 16,000 over a 5 year period. I never would have thought that when I first moved here. Nebraska, despite being a red, conservative state, seems very apathetic when it comes to concealed carry compared with other states. If you look at the cost of training in Wisconsin, the price is comparable to here in Nebraska. The only difference is the application fee, being 50 dollars less there.

The other difference may be perceived need. A higher percentage of Wisconsin residents live or commute to urban centers than in Nebraska.
It would be interesting to see a county-by-county breakdown of the numbers for Nebraska. I think the numbers in Douglas and Sarpy county would surprise some people here.

This is old info, but even back then, SD had a BUNCH of permit holders.
I haven't quite figured out us Huskers. ??? ???
