State of Nebraska Constitution--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Article I:

Statement of rights.
               CI-1  All  persons  are by nature free and independent,
          and have certain inherent and inalienable rights; among these are
          life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the  right  to  keep
          and  bear arms for security or defense of self, family, home, and
          others, and for lawful common defense, hunting, recreational use,
          and all other lawful purposes,  and  such  rights  shall  not  be
          denied  or  infringed by the state or any subdivision thereof. To
          secure these rights, and the protection of property,  governments
          are  instituted among people, deriving their just powers from the
          consent of the governed.

I guess my question is how is one supposed to defend themselves when out of the home?  NE has no CCW laws whatsoever.  We do have an open carry law but I'd like to see someone try it in Omaha or Lincoln...

Is there any law on the books that prohibits CCW specificly? If not carry as you wish. They would have to bust you and pove you broke a law by CCW. But i'm not a lawyer so that is at yer own risk of course

NE has no issue.  No may or shall issue.  I don't know if there is a specific law to that effect.

I am not going to test it!!  There are specific laws against concealed carry...

That is one of the topics that came up in the debates by the senate when they discussed the proposed changes. Many came forward and gave testimony that a CCW law was not needed because in effect we had it now since a person who is judged prudent to carry concealed in thier situation is perfect legally able to do so.

Yes it's shitty wording but if in the eyes of prudent people you are justified in carrying concealed then it is legal.

Most of what killed NE carry bill is by the time the Senate got done adding amendments to the proposed bill that not even the pro-gun groups wanted it.

It's at worst case a misdemeanor now. No big deal.

See the words in red those sneaky lawyers put in??  Those words NEGATE all the other high sounding words.

It says the STATE decides your rights, NOT the Creator.....
