Good point Rich B!
armed and humorous:
So, what's the latest story? I've heard from people that the Omaha gun registration law only applies to Omaha residents and that outsiders can carry openly or concealed (if they have a permit). Does anyone know the actual current legality of the matter? I'm from Lincoln, and I have the first Concealed Handgun Permit issued in Nebraska, but I don't know if I can drive through Omaha without risking arrest and charges were I to be stopped by law enforcement for something.
SeanN:
The Omaha laws are seriously getting out of control. We need to fight back and do something about it.

I saw a fella OCing in Home Depot at 72nd and Ames a couple of weeks ago. He actually looked kind of silly. He was about 6'5" 250-300 lbs and was carrying a Glock 26/27. He probably could'nt even see the gun when he got his big ol mitts around it. Nobody else even seemed to notice.

I know a guy who open carried in Omaha (out West) with a couple others to make a statement. Their guns were properly registered and everything.
Man with a gun calls came in, helicopter overhead, cruisers swarming everywhere. They were put on the ground, handcuffed, detained, questioned and I believe some of the guns were confiscated (although OPD later had to return them). Never charged with anything.
Just not a headache you want to have.
We can thank the two guys who open carried rifles across UNL campus for the stricter firearms and ccw laws now on colleges and universities. Those two are directly responsible for causing Senator Avery to pursue stricter laws on College & University property
