Can a non-resident apply for a concealed carry permit in Nebraska?

Yes, without restrictions
No, only Nebraska residents can apply
Yes, if they are military stationed in Nebraska
Yes, but they must own property in Nebraska

The correct answer is: Yes, if they are military stationed in Nebraska

The rationale behind permitting non-residents, specifically military personnel stationed in Nebraska, to apply for a concealed carry permit lies in the recognition of their unique circumstances. Military members often have training and experience that equate to a high level of firearms proficiency. Moreover, because they are temporarily residing in Nebraska for duty, it is reasonable to allow them access to concealed carry rights which they might typically have in their home state. This consideration for military personnel reflects a broader understanding of the need for personal safety and protection while they are away from their usual residences. In contrast, applying for a permit as a non-resident without the unique status of being in the military typically does not meet the state's requirements, which more generally favor residents. Ownership of property or other factors do not apply to granting concealed carry permits for non-resident civilians in a straightforward manner, as the laws primarily focus on the individual's residency status.
