What does the term 'open carry' mean in the context of Nebraska gun laws?

  1. Carrying a firearm in a vehicle

  2. Carrying a firearm in public without hiding it

  3. Hunting on public land

  4. Using a firearm in self-defense

The correct answer is: Carrying a firearm in public without hiding it

The term 'open carry' refers specifically to the practice of carrying a firearm in public in a manner that is visible to others. This means that the firearm is not concealed or hidden, allowing others to see that you are armed. In Nebraska, individuals who have the proper permits can openly carry firearms in public places, following the regulations outlined in state law. This ability to openly carry is distinct from other activities such as carrying a firearm in a vehicle, hunting, or using a firearm for self-defense, which have different legal implications and contexts. Each of these activities is governed by separate rules and regulations, making 'open carry' a unique right concerning the visibility of firearms in public spaces.
