LB77 authorizes the concealed carry of firearms without a permit.
The Senate passed LB77 on April 19, 2023, by a vote of 33 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill removes the unconstitutional burden that a person obtain a “valid permit” to carry a concealed weapon, helping to restore the rights of law-abiding citizens. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution expressly declares that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Moreover, the Fifth and 14th Amendments prevent “any State” from depriving or denying “any person” of their “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”
