Is Costco in Omaha posted...

I haven't been there in a couple years - since shortly after the shooting at the Las Vegas store - however, the last time I went there was a sign outside the inner doors.  I cancelled my membership when I found the no weapons clause in the membership agreement.  Odd that Sarah Palin is having a book signing there.  Personally, I won't darken the doors.

i do not have a membership here but i will say that i have called sams here in omaha and i have been given the green light to open carry in their establishment. I am not a big fan of walmart or anything associated with it but the fact they let me open carry is a plus. They don't have any "no guns signs" posted and i have never had an issue open carrying at walmart or sams.
i always call management before i go somewhere I'm not 100% sure how they will feel about it.

also topic on the posting conspicuously. if an establishment does not have any signage posted at their establishment and you are unaware of their gun "rules", you can carry their until told otherwise. if there is no signage but you have been told you cannot carry there, either by corporate or management, at a previous time,  then they have the legal option to file charges against you. If there IS signage and you decide to carry there and get caught, they have the legal option to charge you without a previous warning from management.

Best Buy for example, they are anti gun. no conceal or open carry allowed.
They do NOT have any signage on their doors at all or anywhere…
so if you carry there and don't know they are anti gun, they would only be able to give you a warning for next time and ask you to leave or go put your weapon in the car.
It is not law, in Nebraska, for a company or establishment to have a "No guns sign" in plain sight if they do not allow guns on their property. Always talk to your favorite companies and make sure they are pro gun establishments. They don't always have to advertise they are against the 2nd.

I'm not sure that is quite true.  Or at least, the way it is stated is misleading.

Being charged with illegally carrying in a posted place and being charged with trespass are two VERY different things. 

If you carry in a posted place and get caught, the first charge occurs. 

If you carry in a non-posted place, and get asked to leave and then don't leave, you can be charged with trespass.  If you are officially notified that carrying a firearm on the premises is illegal and you later return with a firearm (concealed or otherwise) you might potentially be charged with trespass.

Two separate issues, two different charges, with two very different sets of consequences.

I've had my lawyers look into this issue for me because i wasn't 100% sure about it.
It's trespassing if you do not leave the premise when asked but if you are caught with a gun in a no gun zone you can be charged with lower to mid misdemeanor for bringing a weapon to a no gun zone. Being told to leave and getting caught with a gun in a no gun zone are two different things.
They have the power to charge you if you get caught with a gun in a no gun zone.
