The State Police lawyer just informed me that I can not apply for a CCW in NE as I am not a 'resident'. I live here, my car has NE tags, I pay NE state income tax but our home of record is NM as we are not planning to stay in NE. As per NE statue I would only be considered a resident if I pay taxes and have a NE DL and vote in NE. I also found 2 earlier postings stating similar issues. BTW my AD wife would be allowed to apply for a CC permit! Who should I contact to, at least try, to change this unjust regulation?

Get a NM permit than UT and/or AZ non resident permit

First to get a permit quick this is what you need to do. Next I have been working to get this changed in the statute. Thought I had it this year but they backed down on making the proposed amendment. Contact Senator Burke Harr he has a bill to get filed next session on this issue and we need to make certain he files it.

Your wife is a resident and can get a CCW and handgun purchase card. You are not, because you choose not to be one. Game is in your court.

David, I have a NE purchase permit. Also my wife is not a resident according to NE statues. The point I tried to make is that we are treated differently under the law.

AAllen,
Thank you for your reply. That was exactly the information I was looking for.
I will contact Senator Burke Harr. If he hears the issue frequently enough he might move ;D
-
Why don't you just get a Nebraska DL and be done with it? Nebraska isn't the only state that requires CHP holders to be residents.
-
Nebraska accepts 34 other state permits, among them States with great Out-of-State permit reciprocity such as Utah, Florida, Arizona, etc... Applying for one of those out of state permits would be your easiest option. Or you can always get a NM resident permit, which is also accepted in NE.

Correct, and it would not hurt to have a few friends or other military spouses give a call as well, once they know that there is several people concerned they move a little faster.
