Don't believe every thing you read! When I asked the OPD (Omaha Police Dept.)and the State Police about open carry, they told me that if they saw me carrying openly they would stop me because it just isn't done. I wanted to have my .38 with me as I and my daughter were driving across the state to a basketball tourney a couple of weeks after a woman clerk was raped and killed. Both the depts. I asked said to put the .38 on the dash board of my car. I then asked if that wouldn't be an invite to every cop to stop me and they agreed that it would. I ended up going without my gun. Who wants to be stopped every time a cop sees the gun on the dashboard? That particular trip we saw three cops on the way; hours would have been wasted explaining why I had the gun, why it was on the dashboard and why I wouldn't trust the cops to protect me.
I actually took a 9 week Citizen's Police Academy session to learn about the Omaha Police Dept. They would be horrified to know that the two things I came away with from the classes were that the OPD is seriously understaffed and that they can't protect me. All citizens who can legally carry, should.
And you win the prize, it is indeed Ernie Chambers. A man who would like to be like Al Sharpton, but who doesn't dress as well.
But it does suck having to worry about getting hassled by the cops simply for exercising a basic Right.
Did the legislature change enough after the most recent election so that a CCW bill will get passed?
