Weapons Okayed
Concealed Weapons
Council removes local prohibition

Omaha's prohibition against carrying concealed weapons has been sidestepped. Those weapons will be allowed inside city limits when a new state law takes effect in January.
The Omaha City Council vote 5-2 Tuesday to scratch the local prohibition for those who get permits.
That means that Omaha can join other Nebraska cities in the concealed carry eligibility approved by the legislature earlier this year.
Councilman Garry Gernandt says, "There has been absolutely no statistical evidence that shows law abiding citizens become immediately violent if conceal and carry goes into effect."
The two "no" votes came from Jim Suttle and Frank Brown.
Brown says, "We are not doing our best today. What we are doing is passing something that is a rush rather than taking a step back and looking at its totality."
Mayor Mike Fahey is also opposed and he says he plans to veto the plan but knows it will likely do little good.
"There's little I can do if they have five votes, as everybody knows," he says.
Police Chief Thomas Warren is also on record against the concealed weapons law.
He says, "We only hope that those individuals take the necessary precautions; the necessary precautions to secure their weapons, to not leave them unattended."
A concealed carry permit will require that the applicant must:
Be 21-years of age or older
Pass a background check
Take a safety course which will include a lesson in civil liability.
Iowa already has a concealed carry law and Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker says, "For the most part, we've had very few problems with it."
There is one major difference between Nebraska and Iowa law. In Iowa, along with the list of requirements, a person wanting a permit must issue a statement of justification on why he or she wants to carry a concealed weapon. It's then up to the sheriff to decide if a permit is issued. In Nebraska, no justification will be needed
