In LB63, an amended section is as follows below. Now I know the majority here are not lawyers, but even in the event of self defense either by a CCW holder or in your own house (dwelling), the shooter is a felon according to this section, correct?
22 Sec. 15. Section 28-1212.02, Reissue Revised Statutes of
23 Nebraska, is amended to read:
24 28-1212.02 Any person who intentionally discharges a
25 firearm at an inhabited dwelling house, occupied building, occupied
-17-
LB 63 LB 63
1 motor vehicle, occupied aircraft, inhabited motor home as defined
2 in section 71-4603, or inhabited camper unit as defined in section
3 60-1801 shall be guilty of a Class III ID felony.

P.S...
It was Friend whom introduced this bill. This bill also up the penalties for many gun related infractions to felonies, including the one in discussion of discharging a firearm.

"28-1212.02 Any person who intentionally discharges a
25 firearm at an inhabited dwelling house, occupied building, occupied...... "
I take "at" to mean toward, but if you give a lawyer or prosecutor (same species of weasel, just a color varience) ANY wiggle room, they can twist it around to their employer's benefit.....

I think it means firing a weapon at anything, while standing in an inhabited dwelling house, building, etc.
At least, I would say that is how lawyers will use it.

Basically, I think they're trying to say "no drive-by's". It's not really needed, but if adopted, I think that something about lawful self defense should be added somehow.

Yeah...... leave it to a batch of lawyers to say in 3 paragraphs what they could have said in 3 words.........
