Senators Give Nod To Concealed Carry Bill

[glock rocks]

“A person right now can legally carry a weapon,” as long as it is openly displayed, such as in a car seat or holster attached to a belt, said Lt. Mike Swain of the North Platte Police Department, president of the group.

“What are the benefits of having a gun nobody can see?”

Somebody openly displaying a gun is less likely to be attacked than one who conceals a weapon, he argued.

Or be the first target in an armed robbery. Dumbass.

We should all walk around carrying thigh holstered Glocks in the US...would give Jihadis something to think about. Ha!

[Rakkasan1]

there's a reason cops are shot with their own guns more often than civilians who pack heat.

[rellimpank]

--another rare example of a state legislature doing something useful, not harmful--

[Mr Ramsbotham]

“What are the benefits of having a gun nobody can see?”

To keep the bad guys guessing, I would suppose.

[Dead Corpse]

It's a good start. Give 'em a couple years to figure out that the only "blood running in the streets" is that of perforated perpetrators and then begin the push for Alaska/Vermont style carry laws.

[Dead Corpse]

That, and so you don't panic the sheeple herds who have been conditioned to go fetal at the mere sight of a firearm.

[Myrddin]

Don't leave home without it.

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

An armed society is a polite society.

[in hoc signo vinces]

Throw in some body armor and mandatory firearm, combat, training...and wallah, you get a militarized citizenry...locked, cocked, and ready to rock. A thought.

[Dead Corpse]

Man... that woulda been great back in High School. Volley ball/square dancing for PhysEd... or tactical/combat drills.

Here is my authorization to defend my life, liberty and way of life against all threats.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..." - DoI

Here is my duly ratified guarantee that neither Federal nor State's governments will interfere with my choice of arms or how I carry them.

Amendment II
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Laws to the contrary may be considered a breach of contract.

[shekkian]

Nebraska is one of four states in the country that does not allow residents to carry concealed handguns, ...

Having another dozen or so states on a may-issue instead of a shall-issue policy isn't noticably better than no-issue at all.

Working on that.

D.C. Personal Protection Act-- A Top Legislative Priority

[in hoc signo vinces]

In HS, ROTC did that...but no one else did. It would be great if we had that option...considering all the Chicomms/Nocomms do along with all the behavior modification classes.

[PsyOp]

Correction: "Opponents of the bill say Nebraska will become a more dangerous place [for criminals] if residents are allowed to carry concealed handguns."

[Graybeard58]

It's illegal here to even think about carrying concealed. (Illinois)
