concealed carry in NE

(1/4) > >>

ajsumms:
I recently heard that CCW permit is not actually needed in Nebraska. I did some research and all I could find was about Initiative Measure No. 403. The way I read it (in laymen term) you do not need a permit to carry concealed. As long as you can and have the right to own a fire arm the state, being a servant to the people, cannot touch your arms. I'm just looking for someone to show me something that states I MUST have a CCW permit to conceal my firearms. Thank You!!!

If you get caught with a concealed weapon and no permit you will be arrested and will stand trial.  You can use the Affirmative Defense method of defending yourself, which basically means that you admit you were carrying concealed without a permit but were doing so while carrying out a lawful action.  I wouldn't risk it unless you like to gamble and have a lot of money to throw at lawyers.

If you have a job that dictates the necessity of protecting cash or valuables, you may pull that off.  If you get stopped by a old timer, he will understand the law you are trying to comply with, and he makes a judgment call if you are being just and prudent in your actions.   If he finds fault with your actions, off you go to jail to explain it all to a judge.  Attested on a Friday afternoon, possibly going to get three hots and a cot all weekend and see a judge on Monday.

If on the other hand, you get a trooper fresh out of the academy, likelihood you will go to jail and a judge decides.

In the old days, police called it the just and prudent man rule.    Todays law enforcement does not so much go by it. 

In the eyes of the law, you in fact have fewer rights with a CCW permit in Nebraska. However, that all depends what light that law is interpreted under.

Me personally, I am becoming less and less trustful of anything gov, and I have decided it is time to get under the CCW statutes. 

In a grocery store buying groceries, and someone sees you printing (gun seen under clothes via outline) and the cops are called.  You have a R rated film you are renting on terrorists, a quart of milk, a bottle of wine, a 6 pack of beer, and a bag of grapefruit.  Are you better off with a CCW permit, or better off with the Just and Prudent man rule?

You own a gun store, and it is closing time.  Winter, and it is dark out.  You have a gun on your side, under your coat.  A police officer walks up to see what you are doing.  You own the store, no CCW permit, and your gun is hidden under your coat, while you were locking up.  Would any officer think your actions were just and prudent?

In the last case, few officers would challenge your decision to protect your shop, and the daily receipts, with or without a concealed carry permit. .

Thanks, I was just wondering if there was any truth to what was said. I was told there was an NRA rep at Cabelas that said not to do the class and that you didn't need it. I'm not opposed to the classes. I'm sure I could use more training. Also, I think the $100+ is going to be much cheaper than court cost or lawyer fees.
