After years of labor, Nebraskans can now bear arms without a license

It’s a new day in Nebraska, where after years of struggle lawful gun owners can now bear arms in self-defense without having to first obtain a government-issued permission slip.

Gov. Jim Pillen signed LB 77 into law back in April, declaring that the bill upheld the promise made to voters to “protect our constitutional rights and promote commonsense, conservative values” and praising state Sen. Tom Brewer for championing the bill year after year, slowly making progress until the legislation finally had the votes to cross the finish line.

“Nebraskans should not have to pay the government a fee or ask permission for constitutional rights,” said Senator Brewer. “This bill finally delivers on the promises in Nebraska and United States constitutions. I am proud to help Nebraska join twenty-six of our sister states in removing this obstacle to the right to keep and bear arms.”

As progressive-controlled states implement more and more anti-gun laws in violation of the Second Amendment, conservative states are returning the rights to the American citizens that have been slowly taken away over the past few decades.

Need to get South Carolina, North Carolina and Louisiana to adopt constitutional carry next.

So Nebraskans can carry now, but they have to do years of labor first? OK, I guess I’d better read the article...BTT...

Wow, that is great.

It is ridiculous how many regulations are “acceptable” even to firearm supporters.

What part of “shall not be INFRINGED” do they not understand?

Goes for CCW too. Why should we have to conceal? Isn’t that kind of like wearing a mask (pre-COVID)? And why have to get a permit to hide it?

There needs to be as consistent an effort for other rights to be restored.

[Huskrrrr]

There is no place like Nebraska. Well, not many.

That map gets prettier each year!

If you travel out of state, always—ALWAYS—be aware of the gun laws in that state. You can check and see if the state has reciprocity and recognizes the carry permit from your own state, but make sure you do not run afoul of that state’s laws.

Should not have to pay the government a fee or ask permission for constitutional rights,”

I don't know how these corrupt people in government ever got away with that bull s**t.

I lived in rural Nebraska for a lot of yrs. We all carried and never had trouble. Way back we even carried to school so we could hunt for food on the way home. ha to leave our weapons in the coat room though.

The 2023 map looks awesome!

The changes over time are phenomenal.

[Tom Tetroxide]

I’m looking forward to seeing every state being green for Constitutional Carry.

Dittos. If one of us got a new gun we always took it to school to show our friends, of course it was a one room school house in most cases. Most of our dads had been in WW2 so we’d been taught safe operation and care of fire arms. Pistols were rare, we all had rifles or shotguns.

It's all about sovereignty. Either the people are sovereign, or they are not.
