Urgent: Nebraska pro-gun bill in the works

It appears current events are driving CCW class demand. My January class is full. I may not have a February class due to the cold that usually comes with February. January will be cold enough.

I WILL NOT be raising prices for classes in 2016. The only fee that will increase will be the cost to cover firearm rental as ammo prices have increased.

A pro-gun bill is in the works to do away with a patchwork of Gun laws across the state.

LB289 – Prohibit certain regulation of firearms, ammunition, and firearm accessories by cities and villages as prescribed

LB289 was a bill from last session but never went anywhere so it is a hold over from last session.

Get your Senators on speed dial now, if you don’t keep an eye on your gun rights, nobody will.

Introducer’s Statement of Intent
LB289
Chairperson: Senator Les Seiler
Committee: Judiciary

The following constitutes the reasons for this bill and the purposes which are sought to be
accomplished thereby:
Many of Nebraska’s hundreds of local communities have enacted ordinances governing the
ownership, possession, transportation, carrying, registration, transfer, and storage of firearms
and firearms ammunition. In addition, certain cities and villages continue to have on the
books enactments governing the concealed carry of handguns, although those enactments
have been subsumed by the enactment of the state Concealed Handgun Permit Act in 2006.
The citizens of Nebraska need and deserve consistent firearms regulation across the state
consistently enforced in all jurisdictions. A family leaving their central Nebraska community
in the fall, for instance, to travel to an event in Lincoln or Omaha should not have to wonder
whether a hunting firearm transported in their vehicle is in violation of the law in their
community of destination or those they travel through.
And individual relocating to a new community should not have to wonder whether the
ownership of a handgun requires registration with law enforcement in that new community.
LB289 would place consistent, state-wide, uniformity with local firearm enactments while
allowing local communities to continue to enact and enforce prohibitions on firearm
discharge.
