I was just searching through the archives and was a little disturbed to see that cities can ban concealed carry. I noticed that Columbus was one of these cities. My parents still live there and I hope to go through all the hoops and turn in the ccw paperwork in May so I should hopefully be carrying by August. The posts I saw were several years old and I would like to know if anything has changed in Columbus. Gosh I hope concealed carry is legal there, that town has gone to hell in a hand basket with it's youth. My dad's truck has been broken into, my car has been vandalized by a gang, and a house down the street was spray painted by a gang; there is a cop that lives 2 houses down and is no more than 100 yards from either crime scene. That is one town I feel that needs to let people use a ccw.
EDIT: Sorry just did some research of the city ordinances and found out they changed this a while ago lol. http://www.amlegal.com/nxt/gateway.dll/Nebraska/columbus_ne/columbusnebraskacitycode?f=templates (http://www.amlegal.com/nxt/gateway.dll/Nebraska/columbus_ne/columbusnebraskacitycode?f=templates)$fn=default.htm$3.0$vid=amlegal:columbus_ne

They only changed it cuz the new state law made it illegal for them to ban it. Cities and villages cannot ban concealed carry by CHP holders.

and Bradkoll, you can send a HUGE thanks out to those active members who 'beat down doors' in the legislature time and time again to get that bill passed. There were many towns- Beatrice, Seward, Omaha (still working on that one to listen) Columbus, etc.
