Earlier today, the unicameral legislature of Nebraska gave final approval to a right-to-carry bill! The bill will now go to Governor Dave Heineman for his signature. CCW has been a long time in coming for Nebraska, mainly due to a filibuster launched by a single determined liberal which required the bill to get two-thirds of the vote. With this vote and the recent passage of concealed carry in Kansas, Iowa is not the only state that voted for Bush which does not yet have a shall-issue (or better) concealed weapons law.
Self-defense is also on the march. Since my last update, Indiana and Mississippi have passed "stand your ground" laws, and bills in Georgia and Alabama are awaiting signatures. Thus far, the states that have passed "stand your ground" laws are:
Florida (2005)
South Dakota
Indiana
Mississippi
Georgia (awaiting signature)
Alabama (awaiting signature)
