The bill has to be signed by Nebraska Governor (R) Jim Pillen to become law. Governor Pillen has promised he will sign the bill.

LB77 incorporates a number of features to make Constitutional Carry in Nebraska a reality. One provision has been a sticking point in getting the bill passed.

(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of any home rule charter, counties, cities, and villages shall not have the power to:

(b) Require registration of firearms or other weapons.

(3) Any county, city, or village ordinance, permit, or regulation in violation of subsection (2) of this section is declared to be null and void.

The bill changes the definition of what is a concealed handgun so that if any part of the handgun is capable of being seen or observed by another person, it is not a concealed handgun:

“. . . shall not be infringed.” A most difficult set of words to comprehend.

It already IS the law of the land, but blue states refuse to acknowledge it.

Will never happen in NE states like NY, NJ, Conn., RI, MA, etc.,
Great Lakes states like Ill., Minn., Wisc., or Pacific Coast states. Or NM.

All of the cool kids say we're a democracy now, so 27 States are the majority rule. The rest just need to have this majority forced on them.

I’m a Texan, born and bred. I have no desire to go to any of the above listed states. I do drive across NM to get to Arizona occasionally. Worst roads I’ve ever been on.

You had better make those trips soon. Once the Democrats & Uniparty Republicans take the state house & senate in 2024 Arizona will be like Colorada, completly Californicated and FUBAR.

Yeh, I know. Have a daughter that graduated from ASU a couple years ago. So kinda stay up on Az politics. Liberals f¥ck up everything wherever they go. I’m worried about my beloved Texas. The Austin area is already blue. With the current influx from California we’re starting to turn purple.
