I have been following this story and believe the following statement to be false:

"He probably would be ineligible for such a permit because of his 1997 misdemeanor conviction for carrying a concealed weapon."

There has been no mention of it since the early report.

Here is a comment from a story on April 28th:

"This man “harry” Mcculough is a personal friend of mine and has been for many years. James, as his friends know him has been a VERY skilled gunman from the day I met him, and has taken all necessary training courses to carry a gun. I am very disappointed with the Omaha Police Department that they would ticket him when he is so skilled, and like the county attorney said “he was justified in using deadly force to protect himself and others”. Dont worry guys, the charge of carrying a concealed weapon is a Class I misdemeanor in Omaha, besides he’s got he best damn attorney in Nebraska on his side! EVERYONE in Omaha thinks he is a HERO!"

I did some more searching and it appears that he did have a past citation for carrying a concealed weapon in 1997.

Should gun permits be easier necessary?

Interesting they are talking about training requirements. The FBI did a break down of police involved shootings in 2005 or 2006 and found that police averaged only one "hit" for every 10 shots fired.

This guy, facing similar "danger and stress" that the cops like to talk about facing. landing 4 out of 8 shots. With little to no training.

There should not be any permitting or registration needed for any weapon.

If the MSM can do a study and come up with a scenario to require licenses to print, broadcast, or stand on a corner soapbox and proselytize, then I will think about gun regulations. They are on their face un-Constitutional.

Since a traffic violation is technically a Misdemeanor, does that mean the powers that be can refuse you a Concealed Carry Permit for running a Stop Sign?

A Felony is a Felony for a reason.

The 2A is the only permit needed, stupid legislators.

LOL! Not everyone. There are a lot of people in the Omaha city gov who are pretty mad right now. They don’t want concealed carry at all.
