I could take a few minutes/hours to research that exact statute and its number but I won't. You nailed it in your question. It is legal in Nebraska to carry a loaded pistol or rifle in plain sight even in a vehicle but it is illegal to carry a loaded shotgun in a vehicle. At least it is IF it is Hunting Season and the one carrying the loaded shotgun holds a Hunting License.

This is a good example of WHY lawyers have job security.

I don't see anything in the loaded shotgun statute that specifies if must be hunting season and you must hold a hunting license to violate the law. Yes, it was designed primarily to combat road hunting, but I think the law applies to anyone, year-round. Unless you have another statute or case law to say otherwise...

But we digress, what was this thread about anyway?

Nebraska Revised Statute 37-522

Revised Statutes » Chapter 37 » 37-522

It shall be unlawful to have or carry, except as permitted by law, any shotgun having shells in either the chamber, receiver, or magazine in or on any vehicle on any highway.

"except as permitted by law"
Like I said in an earlier post IsThisTaken vaguely worded laws like this are the reasons very few lawyers are unemployed. If you want to test the law load up your shotgun and put it in your pickup and then draw the attention of a Cop. Chances are IF you are stopped you will be ticketed.

If you can afford a competent attorney and get a trial before a knowledgeable Judge you will be acquitted. Unless you **** someone off LOL.

I'm still confused. I get the feeling that this law applies 24/7-365. NOT just to licensed hunters during hunting season, as you stated earlier.

That is the part I'm trying to understand.

I agree, if I load up a shotgun and travel down the Interstate at 20 over (because the 10 over guys don't seem to get the Troopers attention), I'll get ticketed. And I think it matters not whether I have a hunting license and what season it is, right?

If you're in a convencience store being robbed with a gun and you pull out a gun all you're doing is exponetially increasing the chance of the robber opening fire with whoever else is in the store in the way getting hit.

You probably don't want to move to Vermont. Every citizen there can carry concealed without needing a permit. Coincidence or not, Vermont also has just about the lowest crime rate in the country.

But with all the people that really, really, really want to carry a gun around I don't see a lot of them being the picture of knowledge, training, or restraint.

Elected officials in over 40 states seem to disagree.
