Open Carry in Omaha Directly from Marty Conboy (Omaha City Prosecutor)

(1/10) > >>

ivanawfulitch:
I finally got tired of searching and sent an email directly to Marty Conboy, Omaha City Prosecuter, about open carrying legally. Basically, if you already have your Nebraska Concealled Handgun Permit, you can legally carry concealed or open in Omaha. Now we all need to open carry so the public will get used to seeing it.

This is what transpired;

It would require the concealed carry permit authorized by the state.  One you get that, you can carry either concealed or open in Omaha.

By state permit, do you mean the concealed carry permit or is there another permit that I need?

Thank you for your help.

The city has passed an ordinance that prohibits open carry, unless you have the state permit.  If you have the state permit, you are exempted in the city limits.

Jay:
Thanks for posting this.

That is correct, there have been other posts confirming this as well, just remember that your gun also has to be registered in Omaha, which is what has stopped me from open carrying there.

I am all for open carry, and do it myself quite often, but I just can't bring myself to go register a gun in Omaha.

It's not that gun registration keeps me from carrying in Omaha, it just keeps me from going there in the first place.

ivanawfulitch:
Since I live and conceal in Omaha, my gun is already registered. I guess I'm good to go.

FreedomOne:
So when did this ordinance that prohibits open carry go into affect? News to me. Don't they realize that contradicts the Nebraska Constitution? Nebraska has always been an open-carry state. You can't just pass an ordinance that says differently without being illegal. Am I right?
