Open Carry in Omaha Directly from Marty Conboy (Omaha City Prosecutor)
Cathy1911:
I work downtown in Omaha, and in warm weather it's not unusual to see professionally-dressed people open carrying. No police badges; if they have any visible creds at all they're just ID's on neck lanyards that nobody can read anyway. One man last summer was especially conspicuous with a black shoulder rig over a white shirt and tie with dark suit trousers. He was in the plaza on the Farnam Street side of the Civic Center.
Nobody pays any attention.
JimP:
Sooooo...... we just have to put on a cheap suit to look like one of TheOnlyOnes? Book Covers and Judgin' and all that.....
FreedomOne:
Has anyone contacted the State Attorney General, Jon Bruning, to see what his take is on all this? He would at least see things on a state level, and not just the city level. Just a thought. Thanks!

Personally, I don't see the point of open carry. If you have a CCW permit, why not conceal it and not attract attention to yourself.

Its called the second amendment. The fact that we have to have CCW permit is wrong if you ask me.
More people are killed by cars than guns.
But busy bodies don't call the cops every time they see someone driving a 2 ton weapon down the street.
I to would be interested in the AG opinion as previosly stated.
we are slowly losing our rights and if we don't start standing up for ourselves we will be in the same boat as the citizens of Germany during the nazi era, unarmed and defenseless against anarchy by our own government or the UNITED NATIONS or the Mexican cartels or some thug who couldn't pass a back ground check & doesn't care about rules & laws.
If I had my way every responsible citizen should have a weapon. They wouldn't have to carry it with them but at least have one in the home & available and trained to use it if needed.
The biggest challenge we have right now is alot of people today haven't grown up around guns & are afraid of them. Mostly thanks to the liberal media spin on the subject & the false sense of security they get from thinking that the POLICE will be just around the corner if some criminal goes off.
Now don't get me wrong I won't be open carrying because i do have a permit & I would rather not advertise the fact. It's kind of like when I have a pocket full of hundred dollar bills. I would rather not let anyone know. 99.9 percent of the people wouldn't try to take my hundred dollar bills if they were sticking out of my shirt pocket but walk around long enough & some fool will make grab for them.
That would be against the law wouldn't it but the cop's the judge & my friends would say well that wasn't very smart. But I have the right to walk around with hundred dollar bills sticking out of my shirt pocket.
if it is indeed legal to open carry in communist Omaha with or with out CCW permit maybe a open carry neighborhood cleanup should be organized on a monthly basis. Could possibly get some positive media attention. I can hear the headline now "today 50 people with guns pick up garbage in north O & no one get's hurt, mugged or arrested".
After a couple months The media, cops & busy bodies wouldn't pay any attention to us. No news here just another neighborhood clean up.
Pretty soon people would be calling & wanting there neighborhood cleaned up.
I live in the Dakota city area so it is not logical for me to organize something like this. However if someone would take the initiative to check legality with the AG & organize something like this I will drive down to participate & hopefully so would a lot of other folks from all around the state & even neighboring states since we now have reciprocity with other states.
I am available every Saturday & every other Sunday to join in a neighborhood clean up
