I studied this subject extensively in college, while a resident of Nebraska. Open carry is legal in Nebraska, and until the provisions listing prohibited places in the CCW law were enacted, you could have LEGALLY walked into the "Penis of the Prairie" with a gun on your hip. That's not to say you wouldn't have been asked to leave, etc., and maybe charged with disturbing the peace if people paniced, but you would not be charged with any weapons violations, as there were none. While living in NE I was stopped for speeding by the police several time with a gun in the car, and first thing I did was unload it surreptitiously before I even stopped the car. The only time I was hassled about it was when a rookie Trooper tried to tell me it was supposed to be cased and in the trunk. I corrected him and asked him to call dispatch. He did and was corrected by them as well. He even let me off with a warning for speeding too, I thought for certain I was going to get a ticket. As for Omaha, I didn't take the chance, I took the gun in the car with a case, and was ready to unload and case in a heartbeat. I can't wait to move back to Nebraska, I'll be open carrying again in no time!:celebrate
