Starting Life as a Concealed Carrier
Sandhillian:
bullit,
What you are quoting is not a statute. Based on the number, it looks like you are referencing the administrative rules and regulations promulgated by the State Patrol.
You are correct that "upon request" you must show your CHP and ID to a LEO or emergency services personnel. However, if they don't request, my previous statement is accurate. Absent a request to show your CHP and ID, you aren't required to inform a LEO or emergency services personnel that you are carrying unless it's for an official purpose or in the course of their official duties. And, with regard to emergency services personnel, they have to be providing treatment to the permitholder in the course of their official duties, just like I said.
Take a look at the statute enacted by the Legislature, Neb. Rev. Stat. sec. 69-2440, particularly subsections (1), (2) and (4).

I was referring to Gary's comment on this fact....you and I are in agreement.

Subsection (4).

I stand corrected.....the second time I've been wrong about something in my lifetime....
Gary:
Anyone can dance around the statutes about letting LEO's know you are a carrying CHP, and read into it as you wish, and comply with the statutes as you wish, but when contacted by a LOE, safe is better than sorry.
Here is an example of a guy that informed the officer, but not as quickly as the officer wishes he had of.
I guess this would be an example of how not to go about informing a grumpy officer.
When pulled over, my ID will be in my hands, on the wheel. I will verbally offer it to the officer, without moving one iota.

Yes and this clown was justly fired ...and should have never been a LEO.
Gary:
How many clowns does Grand Island have? Omaha? Kearny? Humbolt? Ashland? Syracuse? Geneva? Lincoln? Beatrice? York? McCook? Benkelman? Ainsworth?
We must hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst of you tube to pull us over.
Do all your signal lights work? Is your vehicle up to muster inspection wise? Good tires, everything works? Clean? Even a Husker sticker in the back window may trigger a traffic stop.
Then, how is your mood? Just had an argument with someone at work? Kids?
If everything is not ideal, and that comes through in your contact with an LEO, how will that effect the outcome of you pronouncing you are a CHP and are carrying concealed?
Most officers are great people in a rough job. Carrying a firearm on your person, just makes his day a little more complex, and possibly a little more stressful. Try to understand all he wants to do is finish his shift without incident and go home in one piece.
