OMAHA, NE January 6, 2012 – The Nebraska Firearms Owners Association (NFOA), announced the official launch of http://www.protectvictimsnow.org/, a website aimed at educating and promoting the passage of a Victim Protection Act in Nebraska. Twenty-nine states have updated their self defense laws in recent years. Of the 21 remaining states, several already had laws that recognized these changes in self defense jurisprudence. This leaves Nebraska as one of the last states to enact such legislation. Over the last several years, there have been multiple bills and public hearings to attempt to move these changes through our Legislature. This year the NFOA is renewing our request that the Legislature take the steps necessary to update the self defense laws of our state. Nebraskans deserve the same legal protections that citizens of other states have, and we are demanding that our elected officials perform their jobs and get this overdue action done.
“The recent news story of the 18 year-old Oklahoma mother defending herself and her infant by shooting an armed criminal breaking into her home has increased mainstream interest in protecting the victims of violent crime.
” NFOA President Andy Allen stated. “Law abiding Nebraskans are concerned about not only the safety of their families, but about being prosecuted or sued by a criminal if they are ever in a situation where they must use force to protect their families. A Victim Protection Act will protect those who use justified force when attacked by a criminal, so the NFOA launched ProtectVictimsNow.org to educate Nebraskans on this important legislation.”
Nebraska Firearms Owners Association is the largest firearms rights organization in the state of Nebraska, and membership is free for all Nebraskans concerned with their right to keep and bear arms; simply sign-up at nebraskafirearms.org/join. We are local firearms owners who have a personal interest in protecting firearms owners’ rights in Nebraska.
Mission -
Nebraska Firearms Owners Association (NFOA) is organized for the purpose of voicing the opinion of its membership to the Nebraska Legislature and other law making bodies within the state as well as Federal level, as it pertains to firearms.
