Brandishing a Weapon

(1/4) > >>

depserv:
It's been several years since I got my CHP, but it seems like I remember the instructor saying something about a state law saying essentially that if someone catches a glimpse of our concealed weapon, like say when we reach for something on a high shelf, and that person is a brainwashed liberal dupe who feels anger or fear because of a fellow citizen being armed, the one whose weapon is seen has committed the crime of brandishing a weapon, and, among other things, will lose his right to bear arms because of it.

Since open carry is legal this makes no sense, so maybe my memory is flawed.  But then again, laws often make no sense, especially those in regard to gun control.

I looked for clarification of this on the NSP website and couldn't find any mention of it.  Does anyone have any information on this?

Dan W:
That law does not exist so far as my research has found

I think your "memory is flawed".  As you stated OC is not illegal in Nebraska (with some exceptions in "Suttleville").  You might be (and this has happened) cited with disturbing the peace (which is a misdemeanor). 

Should you UNrighteously draw your HG on someone, you likely be charged in Nebraska with 3rd degree assault or Terroristic Threat.   

If "brandishing a weapon" were a problem I'd have to wear long sleeves everywhere.....  :P

depserv:
Thanks for the information. 

AAllen:
Some states do have "Brandishing" statutes, Nebraska does not.  Depending upon where you are you could get charged with disturbing the piece or some other crime; it depends upon the Police, the City or County Attorney and the local political climate.  I know that this is not what any of use want to be the way things get handled but unfortunately that is the way the system works.
