So I know for some reason Nebraska doesn't honor Georgia permits, but I'll be visiting a friend in Council Bluffs IA which does. It appears that OC would be legal from what I'm reading should I cross the bridge to visit another friend.
Or have I been misinformed? And should I choose to just leave it in the car, is there anything I need to know on that front? Duty to inform? Etc, etc... Thanks for your help in advance. I may just end up getting an out of state permit from Utah and avoiding all the hassle in the end.

There is "duty to inform" in NE, and as noted above no OC in the city of Omaha without a permit from the city unless you have a valid CCP. OP outside the city limits is legal in NE, however. If your friend is not within Omaha city limits then you would probably be covered by federal transport laws since you are coming from IA through Omaha, but I would consult a lawyer just to be certain.

That is a very grey area, as the OPD website, and the statute state 2 different things. I have asked my lawyer for clarification, and he suggested I get the Open Carry permit from the city. I'm looking for my copy of the exact statute for reference. From the OPD website: 12. Can a Nebraska CCW Permit holder open carry in the City of Omaha? Omaha Municipal Code 20-206 prohibits people from carrying concealable firearms (handguns) in the open within the City of Omaha limits with some exceptions. One exception is obtaining the "open carry permit." This can be obtained through the National Safety Council, Nebraska. Access the following link to obtain more information about getting an "open carry permit" for the City of Omaha: National Safety Council, Nebraska Open Carry Class The Nebraska Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) which is issued by the Nebraska State Patrol allows a person to carry a concealable firearm (handgun) concealed on or about their person. In the City of Omaha, this particular permit DOES NOT allow a person to carry a concealable firearm IN THE OPEN. If CHP carriers also wish to open carry at times, then it would be prudent to obtain the open carry permit through the Safety Council to ensure they are legal. The carrier would then have two separate permits ensuring the are legal in the City of Omaha. |

The part highlighted above is no longer true, but since Nebraska does not recognize Georgia permits it doesn't apply in this case anyway. |

I don't reckon it will be an issue, but my lawyer friend asked the district attorney and his word was get the open carry permit if you want to be on the safe side. |

Hopefully, people are contacting all NE Senators and asking them to get LB289 on the agenda for debate and passage, then we won't need to worry about any further silly restrictions from the likes of Omaha and Lincoln. |
