LATEST ALERTS !

Our State Legislative Senators have been busy introducing new bills this session, and there are a few that will be of interest to Nebraska's firearms owners.

Each of these bills are listed in the "Members" section of the NFOA Forum at http://www.nebraskafirepower.com/forum/index.php?board=89.0

If you have not voted on the polls in this section, we encourage you to do so, and to join in on the discussion about each of these bills. This is the information that the NFOA uses when we testify at hearings on our members' behalf.

LB889

Change provisions relating to the justification for the use of force(Castle Doctrine)

LB817

Exempts concealed handgun permit holders from the requirement that they obtain a certificate to purchase a handgun.

LB1033

LB747

LB836

For more in-depth information about each bill, go to the "Member" section of the NFOA forum, or the Unicameral website at   http://nebraskalegislature.gov/  , then just type the bill number into the search box at the upper right-hand corner of the page. From there you can find the status of that particular bill, any hearings that may be scheduled, and any amendments that may be attached to the bill.


As a few of these bills have already been scheduled for hearings next week, we would encourage our members that have an interest in these bills to contact their Senators and respective hearing Committee members to voice your opinion to them as soon as possible. (LB747 and LB836 are scheduled for Wed. January 27, and LB817 for Fri. January 29th.)

The strength of the NFOA lies in it's growing membership, so please ask your neighbors, family and friends to join us in our fight to preserve and enhance our 2nd Amendment Rights.

Welcome to the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association

Our membership is open to all types of firearms owners as long as you are a resident of the state of Nebraska.

The best thing about our organization is that membership will not cost you anything!

We are local firearms owners who have a personal interest in representing firearms owners rights in Nebraska. While there are much larger firearms owner groups and lobbyists, we have a personal stake right here in fighting for our rights. We do not have big money to fly in lobbyists from the coasts, we do not have the money to wine and dine Legislators, and we are just everyday normal Nebraska residents like you who want our voices to be heard by the various law makers. Best of all, we will not send you any mailings begging for money like the large national firearms owner groups. We will operate on a low budget and make due with what money is donated to us voluntarily.
