During a ceremony at the State Capitol on Tuesday Governor Jim Pillen signed a Constitutional Carry bill into law. LB77 allows law-abiding Nebraskans who are 21 years or older to carry a concealed handgun without a permit.
Pillen was joined by the bill introducer Sen. Tom Brewer and several other state senators. “Signing this bill upholds the promise I made to voters to protect our constitutional rights and promote commonsense, conservative values,” Pillen says. “I appreciate the hard work of those senators who supported this legislation, and particularly that of Sen. Brewer who led this charge and carried it through to the end.”
Brewer says Nebraskans should not have to pay the government a fee or ask permission for constitutional rights. “This bill finally delivers on the promises in Nebraska and United States constitutions. I am proud to help Nebraska join twenty-six of our sister states in removing this obstacle to the right to keep and bear arms.”
