Concealed Carry To Take Effect

Restrictions are plentiful

Nebraska is about to usher in a new law that will allow people to carry concealed weapons but that doesn't mean you'll be able to carry those weapons everywhere.

The first step toward getting legal is to fill out the paperwork and go through a training class but come January 3, it will be legal to carry a concealed weapon in Nebraska.

There are a number of places where you won't be able to go while toting that weapon.

City buildings, courthouses and bars are among them. And you won't find any shootin' irons at Grumpy's Grill. Grumpy says he'll put in metal detector if he has to.

Officials with the Nebraska State Patrol also want you to know that if you're pulled over by law enforcement or if you need emergency medical attention, the first thing you need to tell the officer or the EMT is that you have a gun.

The law was originally set to take effect on January 2 but state offices will be closed on Tuesday for a day of mourning for President Ford.

For more information about the change in the law, visit the Nebraska State Patrol Web site.

Thanks for the URL of the Project Safe Neighborhoods incident. I wonder which part of 'shall not be infringed' is being applied here. NRA apologists, do y'all know?

Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns.

ANTI-Gun zealots lke this one are always INVENTING crisis. All this person has to do is post a sign saying firearms not allowed on premisis. IF people violate this they can be trown out and in some cases prosicuted. I seriously doubt his "Metal detector" threat anyway.

Yeah, I'm bleeding to death and have a broken neck from this car crash. But before I tell the EMT that, I'm going to get my priorities straight and tell him I have a 22 in my boot.

On the surface this conceal carry law is about the same as we have in Ohio. Interesting to see what some of the other rules are. Some counties in Ohio made it almost impossible to get a CC but we just passed laws to correct some of the this crap.

"Nebraska is about to usher in a new law that will allow people to carry concealed weapons but that doesn't mean you'll be able to carry those weapons everywhere."

Not to church, school, government offices, hospital, voting places, etc. just like in Texas, I presume.

The Detroit case was a black felon with no right to own a gun, that thought he was caught because the cops were targeting blacks.

That is the case in a nutshell. He just didn't like being caught. Get the evidence thrown out and walk on the gun charge. It was a BS case for him to file.

Restrictions are plentiful

The restrictions seem SOP for all states with which I am acquainted.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Same for NC - both that our law is roughly the same and that issuance of permits varies from county to county. People talk about "may issue" or "shall issue" counties. I live in Wake county (Raleigh) which is pretty much a "Shall Issue" county. But neighboring Orange County (Peoples Republic of Chapel Hill) is decidely not, or so I'm told.

Simple solution: Don't patronize Grumpy's Grill.

PS. I'll taker NE CC laws over CA's any day. Here we have the right to carry if the Sheriff approves, but most don't, unless their re-election is in question.

[dhuffman@awod.com]

Sorry, I guess I missed that part of the Second Amendment's 'shall not be infringed' clause. Do you also find a (felon's) right to vote in the Bill of Rights? Or a right to infantcide in the Fourth? Tyranny is the bottom of the slippery slope slid.

The principle is; if we may be properly disbarred a Right then with the bar sufficiently lowered we will all be legally disarmed.

Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns.

Sadly, most libraries and other prohibited goverment buildings won't be sensible.

If the facility lacks the means to ensure criminals are disarmed, why would any sensible citizen voluntarily disarm?

And if you are a criminal gun collector, bust into the cars in Grumpy's parking lot.

I think the rights are for law abiding citizens. For a felon convicted for violent crime to lose their gun ownership rights doesn't infringe on the intended rights of the 2nd amendment in my opinion.

[ICE-FLYER]

"Simple solution: Don't patronize Grumpy's Grill."

Yes it is. And I wonder if this guy or gal even knows that pro-gun folks will do just this. If anything, people who stand for their right to arms are some of, if not the most, loyal of people to the cause.

[dhuffman@awod.com]

So the Declaration of Independence's statement, "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." is moot?

Rights are endowed by a Creator and merely enumerated by the Bill of Rights.

Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns.

[dhuffman@awod.com]

I think rights are for smart citizens. For a demotic to lose his First Amendment Right to opine and his discovered right to vote doesn't damage the rights of any one else.

Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns.

Yeah, sounds similar to FL too. We did get a law passed allowing CC in state parks and forests recently so that helped.
I don't like the school prohibition though, it makes it a pain in the ass to pick up my kids. Oh well I guess I'm lucky that the graceful legislators here in FL allowed me the privilege of protecting myself.
