Be Careful What You Wish For

A Lincoln resident made his point at a City Council meeting that it's perfectly legal to carry a gun.

Tim Tyrrell Sr. made the point by visibly sporting his own holstered and loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic Glock at Monday's council meeting.
Excellent, Mr. Tyrell. That was a brave and admirable thing you did, and you deserve our gratitude. You shouldn't have had to go it alone.

I hope Mayor Coleen Seng wet herself.

In NE I beleive that concealed carry is not legal.

"CARRYING

It is unlawful to carry a weapon concealed on or about the person. There is no statutory provision for obtaining a license or permit to carry a concealed handgun."

And as a result, NE residents have been using open carry to protest this.

Heh.

Can you tell me what is wrong with that statement? In fact, what is treasonous about it? If not, say so and I will tell you.

...I thought NE and KS just passed CCW laws...

Anyway, if I tried that in my commie state I would no doubt be gunned down by the Only Ones.

Good for him.

David.

Thank you for the kind words.

The Legislature passed CCW this year, but some of the Political Subdivisions believe they have home rule authority to opt out thus banning CCW inside city limits.

The law itself does not go into effect until January 1st 2007.

My point is that even with a CCW ban open carry will still be legal.
