Support LB395

Dear Editor,

I am writing to support the Legislative Bill LB395 concerning the prohibition of cities and villages from passing their own laws on "the right to carry a concealed weapon."

Some folks do not understand that "concealed" weapon does not necessarily mean a gun or knife that is carried on your person.

In most states, a gun carried in the glove box or under the seat of your car is considered a "concealed" weapon. So, suppose that you have taken all of the proper steps and purchased a "right to carry" permit under the present law.

Now, anytime you enter a city or village that denies you the "right to carry," you must be careful to remove your weapon from any place of concealment, be it on your belt, in your purse, or somewhere hidden in your vehicle, and place it in plain sight.

As suggested by Sen. Christensen, this pretty much negates the State of Nebraska Right to Carry Law.
