Nebraska Supreme Court to decide if gun owners have standing to challenge Lincoln ban of firearms on city property
By Molly Ashford Verified| Nebraska Public Media Verified The Nebraska Supreme Court heard oral arguments Thursday in a case likely to determine if a person must violate a law before they have standing to challenge the law in court. The case stems from a lawsuit brought by gun owners against the City of Lincoln over an ordinance banning concealed weapons on city-owned properties.
