Been Thinkin' About CCW Issues..............
Seems like there are at least four ways to legally carry a concealed handgun in Nebraska:
1) The Concealed Handgun Permit Act of January 1, 2007, as amended. [LB 454>>>>Nebraska Statutes 69-2427 thru 69-2449.]
2) The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) of 2004 [HR 218>>>>18USC, Ch. 44, Sections 926b and 926c], which allows various LEOs, retired LEOs, and other folks (such as state constables and Coast Guard boarding officers, etc., etc.) to carry concealed handguns.
3) Nebraska Revised Statute 28-1201, para. 1(b), Carrying Concealed Weapon, Penalty, Affirmative Defense, , which reads (b) It is an affirmative defense that the defendant was engaged in any lawful business, calling, or employment at the time he or she was carrying any weapon or weapons and the circumstances in which such person was placed at the time were such as to justify a prudent person in carrying the weapon or weapons for the defense of his or her person, property, or family.
4) Nebraska Private Detective Statutes, Neb. Rev. Stat. ยง 71-3201 - 71-3213, in the context of Item 3), above. I once held a Nebraska Private Detective state license for a while and dimly recall a court decision holding that licensed Nebraska private detectives could carry concealed while actively involved in working a case.
Any comments on any of the above areas??
Any other concealed carry venues to add to the list??
