Just received this message from Tony Fulton.  He is touting LB430 in his newletter

"Amending the Concealed Handgun Permit Act *

This Act originally passed the legislature to become law in 2006. Since then many cities have passed ordinances disallowing the law. An Attorney General’s opinion found that cities have no authority to act thus, so LB430 clarifies the law and provides for statewide consistency. Presently, a law-abiding citizen who has satisfied the provisions to purchase a CCW permit in Nebraska may find himself in a situation of breaking the law simply by driving through a city that has opted out of the original law. This patchwork of ordinances does not provide a consistent rule of law in Nebraska, and LB430 will bring us into line with the recent Attorney General's opinion. I was contacted by numerous citizens across Nebraska as well as a number from within my legislative district about this problem. I have prioritized LB430 so we can debate and rectify this problem in our law."
