I just read the statues for NE and the way I read itis, You cant carry it about any wherepublic unless you are in your vehicles.Now the statue 18-1703 that passed on Aug 19 from the AG of NE states that no village or city shall reject or override a CCW law.

Is this correct?

Sort of. Yes, the statewide preemption was strengthened, but as for where you can carry, if you read the list of prohibited places, it is more like you can carry anywhere except public places.

You cannot carry on the grounds of any kind of school, any place being used by a school, any church, any political meeting or rally, any government building, any meeting of any governmental body, any sporting event . . .

And dont forget any place of business or employer that prohibits weapons on site. So if you want to go in and dine at your local Burger Kingor go thru the drive thru you are prohibitted from doing that also. So basically you may carry in your house on your land, or if you are driving or riding in a vehicle are really the only places allowed by the greatF#$@ing state of Nebraska.



If I am reading this incorrect, some one pleaselet me know!

It is pretty much empty preemption, but it is an improvement.

Way too many restrictions and then there is Omaha. :(

Yeah, don't even get me started on Omaha. Unfortunately, Lincoln doesn't seem to be that much better, either.

There is full pre-emption for permit holders here, as long as the gun remains concealed, otherwise you are not protected against local ordinances.

You can carry your gun while going through the drive-thru at BK, just don't go inside the building. Personally, I don't waste my time giving my money to anti-RKBA businesses.

That was while cities were banning ccw, which they can not do anymore. Even then, having it in the car while passing through was risky. You can carry anywhere except places specifically prhohibited by statute and premises that are posted.

Not sure where you are getting the info about the drive thru but there is nothing that says you cant carry at the drive thru. If the store is posted you cant carry inside but nothing stopping you from carrying outside in your car. I carry everywhere that is not posted.I go to many stores and buisnesses or for walks and my carry piece goes with me.I have talked to LEO on the streets and (according to law)told them I was carrying and have had no problems.I have also OCed with the same results.Addmitedly I dont OC very much but then Omaha is not real friendly on this issue. If you have your CCW or a city OC permit you can legally OC. However you are facing a stop from LE for it.Not saying it would happen everytime out but feel that it will happen some time.

For those who have questions about our laws please ask. If I cant get you the answer I can point you in the right direction to get it.I am new on here and hopefully can be of some help.

Mike.

In Omaha you must have their OC permit or a CCW to openly carry.The state is an open carry state. The only thing I could find about this comes from http://www.Handgunlaws.us.

This is what they say.

There is no law we can find covering transporting a visible loaded defensive Handgun in a vehicle. It is
illegal to carry a long gun under the Dept. of Natural Resources and Hunting laws. It is illegal to carry a loaded concealed handgun in a vehicle in NE without a NE Permit/License to Carry. Some cities have banned the transporting of firearms also.

[align=left]Handgunlaw.us suggests not carrying a loaded visible firearm in a vehicle until more information is available.
