NO CCW in Lincoln City Parks - NFOA Legal thoughts?
newfalguy101:
Actually, cities, generally speaking, do NOT own the sidewalks or streets..........those projects are paid for by homeowners, by way of property taxes.

That's why I said some sidewalks as residential sidewalks are owned by the homeowner. Downtown sidewalks are another matter and often are owned by the city. Streets are owned by an SID when a new development goes in (at least in Omaha). When the SID gets annexed that property is owned by the city.
The fact remains that even if the city is acting in its capacity as the property owner and not the government, it is still the city and the statute prohibits the city from regulating possession of a firearm as to a permit holder.

Until we get state legislators to pass a State Constitutional Ammendment stating Nebraska is a "Constitutional Carry" state these issues will persists. We must get the Legislature to write a bill and get it passed!!

I would argue it is completely different. Government owned properties are public property. It isn't one group of people that purchased it and have exclusive rights to it. Everyone whose tax money was used for that property owns a part of it and helped purchase it. Therefore, I don't think it's a stretch to say it should be open to everyone.
