Nebraska governor signs NRA-backed bill that promotes the US to carry concealed firearms without a permit

“Today, Nebraska joined 26 other states whose constituents and leaders recognize that law-abiding Americans should not have to ask for special government permission and pay additional fees in order to exercise their rights outside of the home,” Randy Kozuch, executive director of NRA-ILA, the NRA’s legislative lobby arm, said.

Nebraska state senators voted 33-14 to pass Legislative Bill 77 last Wednesday, sending it to Nebraska Gov. Pillen for signature. 

“The NRA has worked tirelessly to protect the rights of Americans to defend themselves for decades, and we’re thrilled that this protection has now come to Nebraskans,” he added. 

Pillen’s signature on Tuesday further solidifies the U.S. as a constitutional carry-majority nation, after Florida tipped the scales as the 26th state in the nation with permitless carry laws on the books earlier this month. 

The Nebraska law will take effect 90 days after the end of the legislative session, which is scheduled for June 9. Eligible Nebraska residents will then be allowed to carry concealed firearms on their person or in their car without paying the government for a permit.
