Judge blocks Omaha's ban on guns in public places while lawsuit challenging it moves forward
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska's largest city won't be able to enforce its ban on guns on all public property, including parks and sidewalks, while a lawsuit challenging that restriction moves forward.
Nebraska’s largest city won’t be able to enforce its ban on guns on all public property, including parks and sidewalks, while a lawsuit challenging that restriction moves forward.
Douglas County District Judge LeAnne Srb issued a preliminary injunction Friday blocking that ban, but she refused to put Omaha’s restrictions on “ghost guns” and bump stocks on hold.
The Liberty Justice Center filed the lawsuit on behalf of the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association arguing that the city restrictions violate a new state law passed last year that allows people to carry concealed guns across the state without a permit and without the need to complete a gun safety course. A similar lawsuit challenging gun restrictions in Lincoln remains pending.

Nebraska is that state that, when they show up in the news, I go, "ohhhh yeahhhhh! Nebraska is a state!" Then I try to imagine in on a US map but somehow draw Ohio and Utah next to each other.
