FILE - State Sen. Tom Brewer introduces LB77 during a judiciary committee hearing on his bill at the state Capitol, Jan. 26, 2023, in Lincoln, Neb. After years of trying to pass a bill to allow people to carry concealed guns in Nebraska without a permit, conservative lawmakers are on the cusp of doing so, thanks in part to the defection of two Democratic Omaha senators — the only Black lawmakers in the body — who cited racial disparity in enforcing gun laws in their districts. Brewer of Gordon, is the bill's conservative sponsor who has tried since 2017 to pass it. (Kenneth Ferriera/Lincoln Journal Star via AP, File)
