You should have full reciprocity in both states, but it pays to check for any weirdness in the ordinances.

Thanks Fogger - Just want to be sure there are no "weird" conceal laws I need to be aware of, so far I have not come across anything.

Good Stuff, heading to Texas this week and taking the Glock for a little vacation.

PDF to the iPad for a quick read.

While I don't claim to be any sort of an expert, it is my understanding that NE tends to be fairly anti-gun --- particularly around Omaha (strict laws in Omaha as I understand it).

Yeah, I did read that in Omaha you can only carry in a vehicle if you have your CCW, period. Here is for the Stae of NE:

You are allowed to carry concealed handgun anywhere in Nebraska except:
Police, sheriff, or Nebraska State Patrol station or office
Detention facility, prison, or jail
Courtroom or building which contains a courtroom
Polling place during a bona fide election
Meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or other political subdivision
Meeting of the Legislature or a committee of the Legislature
Financial institution
Professional or semiprofessional athletic event
Building, grounds, vehicle, or sponsored activity or athletic event of any public, private, denominational, or parochial school or private or public university, college, or community college
Place of worship
Hospital, emergency room, or trauma center
Political rally or fundraiser
Establishment having a license issued under the Nebraska Liquor Control Act that derives over one-half of its total income from the sale of alcoholic liquor
Place where the possession or carrying of a firearm is prohibited by state or federal law
A place or premises where the person, persons, entity, or entities in control of the property or employer in control of the property has prohibited permit holders from carrying concealed handguns into or onto the place or premises
Any other place or premises where handguns are prohibited by law or rule or regulation.
A place or premises that has prohibited permit holders from carrying concealed handguns onto the premises must post conspicuous notice, or ask the permit holder that the firearm be removed, before the permit holder is in violation of this section.
Permit holder may not be consuming alcohol, or have any alcohol or controlled substance remaining in his/her blood, urine, or breath.There are also a handful of cities that prohibit Conceal Carry. Yikes!

Also, as of Jan 1, 2011 Iowa has a "Shall issue" gun law which law enforcement is not fond of, so much that the Police Chief sent out "No Guns Allowed" Stickers to 300 local business (see link): http://thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/02/robert-farago/iowa-police-chief-sends-no-guns-allowed-stickers-to-300-businesses/

I will be back-and-forth between Council Bluffs, IA and Omaha, NE during the College World Series coming up in mid through late June for work, so I am just trying to be sure that "I'm on top of it." I will double check Omaha specifically since that is where I will be most of the time.

Thanks for the feedback.
