I don't know what Nebraska had before, but I thought it'd be of interest:

NEBRASKA APPROVES "SHALL-ISSUE" RIGHT-TO-CARRY;
GOVERNOR HEINEMAN PLEDGES SIGNATURE

On March 30, the Nebraska legislature gave final approval to a measure granting law-abiding Nebraska citizens the right to carry a firearm for personal protection. Legislative Bill 454 now heads to Governor Dave Heineman's (R) desk, where he is expected to sign it into law. Last week, legislators in Kansas overrode Governor Sebelius' veto of the Right-to-Carry measure in that state.

"NRA has worked patiently and diligently with the state legislature for more than a decade to bring Right-to-Carry to Nebraska, and I want to thank Governor Heineman and the bill's chief sponsor, Senator Jeanne Combs (R-32-Milligan), for their steadfast support. Their involvement was instrumental in the passage of this pro-Second Amendment legislation for all law-abiding citizens in their great state," NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox declared.

LB 454 met with overwhelming, bi-partisan support as Nebraska senators voted 33-12 in favor of the measure. The bill allows law-abiding Nebraskans who undergo a background check to apply for a permit to carry a concealed firearm for self-protection.

When the Nebraska legislation becomes law, Wisconsin and Illinois will be the only states to categorically deny citizens the Right-to-Carry a concealed firearm for personal protection!

"On behalf of all NRA members in Nebraska, I want to thank all the legislators who voted for LB 454," concluded Cox. "And as always, we appreciate the commitment and participation of our members in Nebraska for encouraging their legislators to pass Right-to-Carry."

They had no CCW at all, not even "may issue". This is really a nice step forward, and with the Veto override in Kansas it means that WI and IL are the only two now that don't have ANY CCW, though some of the "May issue" states might as well be there also, since even their brand of "May issue" means "You're not my bro-in-law and you're not a celebrity, Of course not!"
