Nebraska law allows people to carry visible weapons in the Capitol, as Schroder did, although they cannot be taken into the legislative chamber. Concealed weapons are barred from the building.

Nebraska Constitutional Carry (permitless carry) is advancing in the Nebraska Senate. On March 11, 2022, the Senate (Nebraska is the only state with a unicameral legislature) voted for Cloture on LB 773. Cloture votes in Nebraska are required after 8 hours of debate in this stage of the legislative process, which is designated a General File.
The General File vote is considered the most difficult hurdle for a bill to overcome on the way to becoming law in Nebraska. The cloture vote needed 33 votes, or two-thirds of the senate, to proceed. There are 49 senators in the Nebraska Senate. From Omaha.com:

Lawmakers adjourned without reaching a vote on LB 773, as opponents mounted a filibuster. A motion to cut off the filibuster is expected Friday morning, after about two more hours of debate. The motion needs 33 votes to succeed.
Senator Tom Brewer has been the moving force behind Constitutional Carry in the Nebraska legislature. It has been a top priority for him for the last six years.
LB 773 received 33 yes votes, then three votes were changed from no to yes, to make it 36 total yes votes.
I spoke to Senator Brewer a couple of years ago. Senator Brewer opined he had the votes to pass Constitutional Carry if he could get the bill to a floor vote. The vote on March 11 showed that Senator Brewer (R – 43) is able to count votes. It is an important skill for a legislator.

Excellent! We picked up Alabama and Ohio already this year. There’s a pretty solid chance we’ll pick up Nebraska, Georgia and Indiana too.
I think Louisiana and Florida have a good chance to pass constitutional carry next year.
Louisiana will only pass if they get a new Governor.
They will. He’s out after this year. That’s the only holdup. They very nearly overrode his veto last year.
Kudos to you. Restore is the correct term. Our inalienable rights were compromised by enemies of our country who needed to be thrown out once they signed the unconstitutional laws.
Any time there is any restriction at all on where and when and who can carry then you are talking about "Constitutional-ish" carry and not Constitutional carry. Let's not pretend otherwise.
For example: Prisons, powder magazines, and private property under the trespass laws, if the property owners forbid it.
To say any restriction at all is unconstitutional is mistaken.
All or nothing is a foolish idea.
Anything less is a misnomer. The Second Amendment places no restrictions. Placing restrictions and calling it 'Constitutional carry' is dishonest.
Crime is coming to the forefront in the political realm.the people want to defend then selves without having to go through the sheriff.
