Nebraska senators debate restricting guns in the capitol, allowing concealed permit holders, amid security and accessibility concerns.
Nebraska senators are debating LB 1237, a bill to restrict firearms in the state capitol, following a recommendation from the Executive Committee.
The measure would prohibit most individuals from bringing guns into the building but allow those with concealed carry permits to enter, aiming to enhance security while balancing public access and permit holders’ rights.
Concerns have been raised over accessibility for people with disabilities, staffing, and potential security gaps.
Metal detectors and State Patrol officers have already been deployed at entrances, with an estimated annual cost of $1.5 million.
