      there are no qualifications for gun ownership in Nebraska.

      only a 5 states require a license for a shot gun, in the form of a Firearms ID. They require no coursework on training.

      Typically you only need to take a gun safety class if you are buying a handgun, and even then only a dozen states require that.

        Every law follows a necessitating incident. Why are people so stupid? I have a shotgun, and while it is loaded, I never had an inclination to keep it chambered for any reason.
