Just a side-note: are any NE members working on getting full carry preemption passed?
Off the cuff I think NE, KS, andMO are the only open carry states withoutfull carry preemption.
Anybody got a copy of the opinion? if registration is inapplicable to concealed eprmot holders, then maybe the same cold be said of Omaha's open carry ban?

Opinion: Omaha violating gun law
By Paul Hammel
WORLD-HERALD BUREAU
LINCOLN — Gun-rights advocates now have some legal ammunition trying to persuade the City of Omaha to change its handgun registration requirements.
A legal opinion Friday from the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office said the city is not following state law by continuing to require holders of state-issued concealed handgun permits to register the guns locally.
The registration requirement, at least as it pertains to holders of concealed-carry permits, was nullified by a state law passed in 2009, according to the opinion written by Assistant Attorney General Charlie Lowe.
Andy Allen of Syracuse, president of the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association, said his group has been trying to persuade Omaha to change its legal stance for the past year.
“I believe the attorney general makes that clear,” Allen said.
Omaha City Prosecutor Marty Conboy said he hadn’t yet read the opinion to see what legal guidance it provides. Conboy has said state laws do not affect local registration ordinances, only those ordinances that banned concealed weapons.
