Nebraska we are one step closer to the passage of Permitless Carry and ending the unconstitutional registry schemes of socialist-controlled cities that have lorded over the rural areas of the state for far too long.
By demonstrating a willingness to be flexible in the fight and with single-minded persistence, Sen. Brewer pushed L.B. 77 through the first floor debate with a vote of 36-12! Please send a message expressing your appreciation to Sen. Brewer and his staff for their tireless efforts in defence of liberty!
As we have witnessed over the last few sessions, the fight was not without its memorable moments… Naturally, the socialist cabal demonstrated that they care little for their oath or the proper role of government which is solely tasked with defend the liberties of the citizenry.
Indeed, after an eight-hour debate spanning three days, the socialist diatribe might be considered to be a poorly conducted off-Broadway production entitled “The Road to Serfdom.” Sen. Cavanaugh of Omaha unashamedly admitted she was there only to “to take up time,” and Sen. Hunt lamented that the bill represents a “far-right free-for-all.”
What these acolytes of Marx’s dismal offspring do not seem to grasp, is the fact that within the American tradition of ordered liberty, a governmental body, or a court, cannot strip away God-given rights away simply because it arbitrarily deems a constitutionally protected right as dangerous or, in doing so, it has complied with due process. As a citizen of These United States, we have the constitutionally enumerated right to “keep and bear arms” regardless of whether the government or prejudiced individuals within our communities considers it suitable for us to exercise our God-given right to defend life, liberty, and property with commonly held arms.
Patriots, while we won this engagement, the battle of Permitless carry is far from over. This significant first step in the struggle to restore just governance to Nebraska will still have to push through two more rounds of voting before it can be signed by Governor Pillen.
Consequently, it is essential to stay the course by continuing to engage in respectful discourse with their State Senators. Keep up the pressure by demanding that they advance Legislative Bill 77 without further amendments!
So, please send a message to these legislators thanking them for their vote and encouraging them to continue to advance Permitless Carry!
All progress is welcome, and frankly we could take a page from the gun-grabber's indefatigable ability to just keep coming back, year after year. If we don't get a perfect law in Florida, we can take the win and come back next year, as is happening in Tennessee.
But good news for Nebraska, with hopes that this will pass the rest of the hurdles and become law.

Damn right… what could possibly go wrong.
“law that would somehow forget to include open carry in their definition of “permitless” carry.”
Yes it should be legal but l find it a bit disruptive and provocative. Except in a few locations people tend to freak out when you stroll into a public place with a gun visible at your side. It always struck me as a bit vulgar. Discretion is often better.

But the current objection to the proposed Florida law is really about getting true "Constitutional Carry" enacted. The choice of whether to carry concealed or openly should be left to the individual's discretion, based on his own situation.
But if this is the best we can get this session, so be it.
Based on the current state of play, we should reasonably expect to get some version of constitutional carry in NE, LA, FLA,SC and NC, and continue to push to "fix" ND to include out of state residents.
A long road, but this is one of the big wins for the RKBA, and it's important to recognize success when we see it.
Yay! Another step forward for the liberty of Americans. As our founders envisioned for us. Terminate all the remaining infringements now!
Open carry is already legal in Nebraska.
Anyone insisting (not saying you do!) that I conceal what I carry must take up the onus of paying the cost of an adequate, concealable firearm— adequate, that is, by my definition.
There may not be one at all, or it just might be beyond my budget.
