Carrying a gun in public?

I've posted this elsewhere also, but bears repeating here too:

Those of you who are from or in Lincoln, need to be aware that even though you may be legal to purchase and own a firearm, and may hold a Concealed Handgun Permit, actually possessing a firearm in Lincoln may be unlawful. 

Please read Lincoln Municipal Code 9.36.100 (http://lincoln.ne.gov/city/attorn/lmc/ti09/ch936.pdf).  If you were convicted within the last 10 years of a long list of various crimes including Public Indecency and Indecent Exposure you cannot be in possession of a firearm in Lincoln.   

This ordinance is not some old antiquated, obscure law, (though parts of it date back to 1956), it was amended as recently as 2006.  Hmmm, did that coincide with Nebraska's Concealed Carry law debate?

This was jthhapkido's response on a different thread, and it is spot on:

With the state pre-emption law regarding concealed carry permit holders, oddly enough, this local ordinance actually has no power over CCW holders with regard to the ownership, possession, or carrying of their concealed firearms.

If you DON'T have a CCW, then yes, this stupid ordinance that doesn't match anywhere else in the state, isn't checked by gun shops (because they can't, and the LPD knows it) and that won't actually ever get used except as an added criminal count if the LPD is trying to arrest you for something---this stupid ordinance does apply.

Care to revise your statement?  The Preemption laws exempt CHP permit holders...During the 2009 legislative session, the legislature passed LB 430, which gave the state the sole authority to regulate statewide concealed carry laws.
