The Nebraska State legislature has added LB 817 to tomorrowâ??s (February 23) agenda for consideration on General File. Sponsored by Senator Kent Rogert (D-16), LB 817 as passed out of Judiciary committee, would allow for a concealed carry permit holder to use their concealed carry permit as a substitute for state mandated permit to purchase card. Since concealed carry permit holders already go through such intensive background checks, as well as the mandatory training, it only makes sense to remove this redundant bureaucratic hurdle.

Wyoming residents could carry concealed guns without state permits under a bill that has received preliminary approval in the state House of Representatives. The House voted Thursday to approve a bill that would allow people who wish to carry weapons hidden on their bodies to do so without going through existing training and permitting requirements. The bill still needs to be heard two more times before heading to the Senate.
