I've read through the city ordinances and from my understanding as long as I keep it unloaded and in the trunk I am fine. I'm just checking because with my luck there would be something illegal about it and i'd get hosed. thanks.
 
Also, how would they ever know unless they illegally searched your car? What I'd be more scared of would be getting it stolen by crooks.
 
I grew up in Omaha ( maybe that's why I no longer live there), went to Millard North High & I remember students hunting pheasent in the cornfield across the street from the school, and nobody cared.

What the hell happened?
 
The 1980's and 1990's happened.
Here in my state of Connecticut in about 1984 as a wee little one, I clearly recall that it was common for pickup trucks to legally have rifles/shotguns on the rear window gunrack. It was also common for a used pickup in the classified ad to have options like: New tires, gunrack, winch, plow.
By about 1986 the option "gunrack" was rarely mentioned because you couldn't use it anyway:barf:. Feelgood (to who) legislation hard at work.

Legality implications aside,
may I suggest that one practice how quickly a trunk weapon be acsessed and brought to a readily useable condition? Maybe in a tactical, not legal.

Legality implications respected,
Have 2 or 3 copies of the portion of U.S. General Code that state it should be ok to have a rifle in a case providing that there is no ammunition touching the rifle.
I could not find a Nebraska.gov /DMV/ Highway Patrol/ Legislative site that would return any result for the searched word rifle. It is your butt, so don't take my word for it.

I like 3 AR mags in a toolbox.

That only covers you during interstate travel (state to state), and does NOT protect you during intrastate travel (within your own state).
 
Seems like you are OK to carry a pistol in your vehicle so long as it is unloaded and in a case. The same is true of rifles. They just have to be unloaded and in a case. Neither has to be in the trunk or locked.
