Legislative Bill 236 now encompasses the below pro-gun measures:

• • LB 85 – Require Nebraska State Patrol to provide notice of expiration of CHP
    This bill would generate a renewal notification requirement to inform a CHP holder that their permit is due for renewal at least four months before expiration, by U.S. mail or electronic notice.
  • LB 173 – Change provisions relating to carrying a concealed weapon
    This bill attempts to eliminate the impact of the Nebraska Supreme Court decision, which set a vehicle concealed carry precedent.  The decision stated that a firearm must be physically separated from an individual while in a vehicle, or the firearm was considered to be concealed and therefore illegally carried if you didn’t have a valid CHP.  This would mean that those without a CHP would be unable to travel with their range bag and equipment in the back of an open-ended vehicle (without a trunk) because it would be considered carrying a concealed firearm illegally. Further, even having things like a filet knife in your fishing gear, or a steak knife in your lunchbox could be a chargeable offense of carrying a concealed weapon under this ruling. LB 173 clarifies the law by stating that, as long as a firearm is unloaded and stored in a case, a person who is not prohibited from possessing a firearm can transport that firearm to, or from, any location where it can be lawfully possessed, carried, and used.
  • LB 244 – Change permit renewal provisions of the Concealed Handgun Permit Act
    This bill would permit a CHP holder to renew an expired permit if done so within 30 business days.

Again, please contact your State Senator and ask them to SUPPORT Legislative Bill 236.
