ConditionalVerified Jul 18, 2026

Nebraska has a proactive duty to inform, and it covers every concealed carrier, permit or not. Anyone carrying a concealed handgun who is contacted by a peace officer or emergency personnel must immediately inform them, and the officer may secure the handgun during the contact (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-1202.04(2), extended to permitless carry by LB 77 in 2023). There is an exception for a handgun stored unloaded and cased in a vehicle. Violation starts as a Class III misdemeanor and escalates with repeats.
