Nebraska Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Can a non-resident apply for a Nebraska Concealed Handgun Permit?

1. Yes, without any restrictions

2. No

3. Yes, if they are a member of the military stationed in Nebraska

4. Yes, with limited privileges

The correct answer is: Yes, if they are a member of the military stationed in Nebraska

In Nebraska, non-residents can apply for a concealed handgun permit if they are members of the military stationed in the state. This allowance recognizes the unique circumstances of military personnel who may be residing temporarily in Nebraska, thereby providing them the same rights and responsibilities concerning firearms that residents have while they are stationed there. It is important to understand that while there are pathways for non-resident military members to secure a permit, non-resident civilians typically do not have the same opportunity unless specified under certain conditions or recognized agreements in place. Therefore, membership in the military is a key requirement that distinguishes their ability to apply from that of non-residents more broadly.
