CCW with an old DUI

(1/3) > >>

jimneb:
I pled no contest to DUI in July of 2006. Will this disqualify me for a CCW in Nebraska?

HuskerXDM:
Nope, you're fine assuming you meet the other requirements. 

Nebraska CHP application here: https://statepatrol.nebraska.gov/formsdocuments.aspx

Here's some very recent email correspondence I had with an NE State Patrol attorney on the exact same topic:
=================================
Attorney to Me:
Thank you for submitting a question to the Nebraska State Patrol. In your email, you asked, “If a NE citizen over 21 years of age applies for a CHPermit, but has a DUI or Minor in Possession for alcohol [controlled substance?] within the past 10 years, is that citizen eligible to receive an NE CHPermit??”

You can find all of the eligibility criteria for an individual to receive a concealed handgun permit in the Concealed Handgun Permit Act, found in sections 69-2427 through 69-2449 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes. You can find those statutes at this link: http://nebraskalegislature.gov/laws/browse-statutes.php. The crime of Driving Under the Influence is not listed as a prohibitor anywhere in those statutes, and thus does not affect an individual’s ability to obtain a concealed handgun permit. The same is true with regard to Minor in Possession crimes. However, you should note that Nebraska Revised Statutes section 69-2433(9) prohibits a permit holder from being on parole or probation.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Please feel free to contact me if I can provide any additional information.

Signed by NE SP Attorney
================================
And---jimneb---I also hope that this information sets your mind at ease on that issue.  Now---go get your CHP.

Thanks for the quick replies. I previously had decided that I live in a small enough town that I don't need a CCW. Some recent events made me rethink my position.

I plan to pick my carry gun tomorrow. I need to renew my handgun purchase certificate before I can do anything. They were out of forms when I stopped by on Thursday.  :o

Sadly, they don't offer one you can download and print / fill out yourself :(.

They offer an example that's ugly and heavily water marked with 'sample'.
