LINCOLN- With just weeks to go until the start of the next Legislative session, Sen. Tom Brewer believes his gun rights bill, which would bring permitless carry to the state, will pass. Last year, the same proposal fell just two votes short of the 33 needed to overcome the filibuster. Sen. Brewer believes that, since the Legislature is slightly more conservative this year, his bill will have just enough support to pass.

Sen. Brewer also stated that his permitless carry bill will be his top priority come January. "The very first bill that I will drop in the next session will be constitutional carry," he said, "What the decision today has done has helped us to better shine a light on why it's important, and to take away some of the concerns folks had about legalities."

Brewer introduced the bill last session because he saw Nebraska's concealed carry laws as inconsistent around the state. "If you're a legally responsible person," he said, "who can be in possession of a firearm, then that should be your right to be able to carry." Currently, Nebraskans can legally carry a concealed firearm, but Sen. Brewer's bill would allow citizens to do it without a permit.
