Today our Unicameral (we only have one house in our legislature) began debate on LB 454, Nebraska Concealed Handgun Permit Act.
The bill's sponsor seems to have enough votes for passage (26) and also enough for cloture (33) of a likely fillibuster by one major PITA senator from Omaha. It all depends on the stratigies and tactics plus the moon/stars/planets being in proper alignment.
Interesting to note that the major opponent who calls those who want guns "Paranoid" reportedly once had a CCW permit himself because of death threats...go figure!
Our Governer has said that he will sign the bill into law.
$100, eye test, fingerprints, background check, approved safety training course within 3 yrs = 5 yr permit.
Keeping my fingers crossed!
There's a website
