bigdog:
Could anyone enlighten me on hand gun laws in Norfolk? I may have to move there in the near future.

I have Nebraska CCW permit.

Norfolk City Code

Sec. 14-237. Carrying concealed weapons.
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, any per son who carries a weapon concealed on or about his person such as a revolver, pistol, firearm, bowie knife, dirk or knife with a blade attachment, brass or iron knuckles, or any other deadly weapon, commits the offense of carrying concealed weapons.

(b) It shall be an affirmative defense that the defendant was engaged in any lawful business, calling or employment at the time he was carrying any weapon, and the circumstances in which such person was placed at the time were such as to justify a prudent person in carrying the weapon, for the defense of his person, property or family.

(c) Wherever the term "firearm" is used in this section, the term shall mean any instrument used for the propulsion of shot, shell or bullets or other harmful objects by the action of gunpowder exploded within it, or by the action of compressed air within it, or by the power of springs and including what are commonly known as air rifles and B-B guns and shall also include sling shots, wrist rockets and bows and arrows, the latter having a pull in excess of twenty (20) pounds. (Code 1962, § 6-8-2; Ord. No. 4749, § 1, 7-19-04)

State law reference--Similar provisions, R.R.S. 1943, 28-1202.

As you mentioned having a CHP, neither Norfolk's nor any other city's code is applicable to prohibiting you from carrying concealed. In short, you can disregard Mudinyeri's reply with regards to carrying a CONCEALED HANGUN (all other rules apply with brass knuckles, bowie knife, etc.).  Only applies to non-CHP holders now with regards to HGs

Lorimor:
Way back when CCW was being debated, the then Norfolk city manager testified in opposition to CCW, predicting death and destruction should it pass.  Another guy who thought opinion should trump actual experience. :)

Carry away, but mind the usual prohibited places.  I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if city property is prohibited there as it is in Columbus.  (Everyone knows that setting foot on city property instantly transforms even the most sober among us into stark raving mad lunatics.)

That is what I understand Nebraska law also and then I started reading the same code that  Mudinyeri posted on a google search and things didn't add up.  I wonder if it is an old code they have not updated.
