This issue also presented itself as a foreign CC issue well before NE had a CC permit and did not allow anyone to do so. The NSP and other organizations pursuing illegal traffic often encountered illegal CC during their stops, which were almost always involving foreign residents.
Am I the only one who detects a little unconscious arrogance here as well? Ace
Why is Nebraska so concerned with "foreign" carriers? Other states have reciprocity with each other and it hasn't caused, "wild west shootouts". I don't buy that argument, its the same one raised by oponents of shall issue conceaed carry in every state and blood didn't run in the streets. They could create a non resident license, that should satisfy their concerns. Even liberal Massachusetts has a non resident license.

Nebraska has elitist law makers that think they are the law; regardless of our Constitution and citizens that are not holding them accountable. At least for now.

Hi Everyone!
I just ran across this site, registered, and this is my second post. 
Regarding open carry in Omaha (which I am a resident of, with a Concealed Weapons Permit), I remember something, some years back, that said, to legally carry a loaded concealable weapon in your vehicle, you had to have the permit administered by the Safety and Health Council, which, at the time was $75 and requred a one day course that only they taught.
As far as I know, and I have tried to keep up on this, Omaha does not allow open carry anywhere other than your property, your place of business (if required by your employer), or as a member of the military or law enforcement on duty.
When I took the class for my CWP, I asked about that license, and was told that, even if you have a CWP, to carry a loaded, concealable weapon in plain sight in your vehicle, you still needed this other permit! Unbelievable......
Perhaps, now that Senator Chambers is leaving, we will have a little more common-sense lawmaking in Nebraska.
"We will not falter. We will not surrender. We will prevail."
