A head's up if you are carrying in Omaha.....

Check out FarmerRick's new post re LB 430.....maybe that will take care of the whole thing! ;D
For the time being, I think I'll save on the gas $ and the OPD application $ and put it towards some new sights for the Glock! 8)

lb430 should do the trick....... but then again, that is what Nebraska gun owners thought about the Constitutional Amendment that enshrined the RTKABA in the very first Article of the State Constitution! Either;
A) the Constitution means what it says, and everybody is bound by it.
OR
B) it's just a suggestion, or a guideline, and everybody is not bound by it.
.....you all might point this out to the Lawyers in Lincoln when you e-mail them on this.......

Interesting discussion I had while at Ike's this morning....great day by the way for shakin' off some of the rust......at least for me :)....
After our introductions and me tellin' him about the fun-times of Rock Your Glock and how he ought to come out for it this year, he let me know that he goes to The Bullet in Omaha and how he's got a ccw and carries while he's traveling in Omaha for business. He received his ccw training in Omaha.
So, I asked him what his experience had been like in registering his gun(s) with the OPD. He wasn't aware of what I was talking about! And yet he received his ccw training from someone in Omaha! He appreciated finding out about it...and so that let me visit with him about LB430.
Wow! This is a plug time for the ccw training class I took a couple years ago (CZ and Roger http://www.neccwtraining.com/), and they made sure we had info in our hands and our heads about the different cities' ordinances etc re carry.
Anyways....he was a nice guy....I've yet to run into anyone at Ike's who isn't a nice guy. It just surprised me that he was not aware of the OPD stuff, yet he carries there, works there, and lives there.

Now I may be one of those dopes that cannot read and understand a law, but it is my understanding under the NE CCW law that if any portion of the firearm is visible, be it the grip or whatever then the firearm is not concealed, this is contrary to what was posted on the Douglas County Sheriffs website posting..... I am so glad that I don't live in one of the progressive cities in Nebraska, Columbus is bad enough.. Maybe just maybe someday this will be all staightend out....

Never-ever rely on getting a law defined by a Law Enforcement officer or agency. They can't keep all the laws straight. DCSO has incorrect info on their website, and they have been informed of it, but they have chosed to ignore requests to correct their info. I guess since they are mis-informing people, if someone is charged with a crime they can TRY to use that as a defense.....
Ask 3 Omaha Police Officers to explain the ccw law for you and I bet you get three different answers. The bigger the department, the worse this issue seems to get
