Nebraskan Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Well, it looks like Nebraska is finally going to join the other 47 states that allow CCW. It has passed the Legislature and just needs to be signed by the governor, who has already stated that he will sign it. It should go into law 1/1/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Awesome. Too bad it take 8 months to go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Too bad they let cities like Omaha pass their own pre-emption of CCW (or at least that's what some of the news articles are saying). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby step, I guess. The state can later make a ruling to superscede the city rule AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerjg Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Awesome. Too bad it take 8 months to go through. Cool, it should almost be in effect when i get back from Iraq at the end of the year. Now i have to decide what gun to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerT Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I heard that Kansas is getting ready to pass a CCW law as well. That would leave just 2 states. The Ya-Hey-Der's to our North (WI), and those of us trapped behind the Iron Curtain here in IL. Good news for you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 It really leaves a lot more that 2 states, since there are quite a few states where you need a "special need" (being important or well connected universally counts as a special need). Places like NJ, HI, NYC, some counties in upstate NY, some towns in MA non-rural areas of CA are just a few locales which come to mind). A discretionary system can be worse than none at all since (a) It creates the impression CCW licensing for the public already exists, and ( You get no pressure from influential people to change the system since they have already been taken care of. Are gun owners in NJ better off because important people can carry, or would they have a better chance of getting a shall-issue CCW system if those of privilige, power and influence were not aleady being taken care of?

Excellent Point! I just like the fact that it makes my State (IL) look that much more backward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
