Smile When You Say That! Nebraskans Will Be Able To Carry Concealed Handguns
Nebraskans will have the right to bear arms under their coats, in their pockets and wherever else they can think of, thanks to a bill passed Thursday by the Legislature.
Governor Dave Heineman previously said he would sign the so-called “concealed carry” measure. It won 32-12 final approval from lawmakers.
The measure nevertheless allows cities to adopt ordinances banning the carrying of concealed handguns. Lincoln Mayor Colleen Seng and Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey opposed the bill, giving some indication that local bans could be sought in the state’s two largest cities.
The bill sets out requirements for obtaining a five-year permit to carry a concealed weapon. They include completion of a training program, a background check seeking information including criminal and mental health records, and payment of a $100 fee. It also bars the carrying of guns in a variety of places.
