Greetings,
We have recently been blessed with the CCW Act of 2007 in Nebraska. It outlawed carry in quite a few places like banks, churches, state and Federal buildings, etc., which I don't agree with, but hey, I guess we have to settle with it for right now. But what really bothers me is the last clause of the prohibited section, there is an additional clause that states "and anywhere else where handguns are prohibited by law, rule, or regulation". Well our municipalities, including the city where I reside, have decided to make rules, regulations, and laws that completely override the state issued permit within an entire city. The local sheriff says "you must know each individual town and its rules before entering or you would be breaking the law". I've contacted local attorneys, and the state legislature whom stated that it was "not their intention when they passed the law" for cities to have this authority.
Now forgive me, but I am a trained and certified Nebraska CCW permit holder whom is not allowed to carry concealed in approximately half of Nebraska's cities. Its like the permit is invalid and no good. People have said to petition it with signatures, get convicted and appeal it, and so forth. Thats not what I really wanted. I mean, I went through a lot of trouble, training,and money to get that permit to have to chase legislatures around with signatures to get them to uphold the face value of the permit. You know what I mean? Any experience? Any advice? I greatly appreciate your time!
