Open Carry in Omaha Directly from Marty Conboy (Omaha City Prosecutor)
Mudinyeri:
A couple comments:
Mr. Conboy's "there is no retriction" comment seems to indicate that registration (for those who live outside the city limits) is not required to carry openly, only the state concealed carry permit. That seems contrary to a couple of the statements near the beginning of this thread.
I would say you could open carry in downtown Omaha, as long as you looked like a Fed, and no one would push the panic button. I've seen U.S. Marshals and other Feds in a number of downtown restaurants carrying openly - no widespread panic resulted. On the other hand, if you're carrying openly and you look like one of the people routinely seen hanging out in front of the downtown library, you're likely to end up on your face and wearing handcuffs.

So does this mean that if you have the NE CCW but open carry it in Omaha it then needs to be registered because it is no longer concealed?

I don't think so, because the NE Concealed Handgun Permit Act does not say that you HAVE to keep it concealed at all times. :-)

Chris, is that for sure? I have asked the SP and they either can't or won't give me an answer. Does that mean that if it prints or shows, it's not a crime?

I wouldn't say anything dealing with law is "for sure".
Printing or accidently exposing are NOT A CRIME in Nebraska Statutes.

It's like they want to confuse me. As you may know they took my ccw license and I'm trying to figure out how to open carry. Can a guy apply for an open carry licence?
