Improvements in NE gun laws I'd like to see
farmerbob:
Let me just add that there is a difference between private properties, some are open to the public others are not, I'm talking about the open to the public type only.
Never said I wasn't grateful for everything the NFOA and it's members do for gun rights. I would like to thank each and every one of you, not just the boots on the ground, but everyone that gives their hard earned money and time.( this organization should be of it's members for it's members)
This thread was to express our 2 cents worth, I've exhaust mine.
DR4NRA:
Do I understand that Scheels (probably the biggest firearms retailer in Lincoln) is a no-carry store, despite no signs on the door, because the whole mall area is posted somewhere?
The food court and mall are no carry zones at southpointe Pavillion. Nebr open carry lists Scheels as open carry friendly, and even the NFOA bad guy list doesn't have Scheels on it. I carry in scheels all the time with no problems.
The rights are equal, are they not?
Evidently Dan, the Constitution and Bill of Rights are only for the ones who believe in the 2nd Amendment. Everyone elses rights are inferior, and thus of no importance.
farmerbob:
Well it depends DR4NRA, if your 2nd. Amendment rights and rights of self defense are basic fundamental civil rights as a citizen of this country, then we could argue that it would be discrimination. Not to long ago certain races were not allowed in certain businesses, I'm sure their was a lot of business owners crying about their rights as business owners not to allow them in and how this infringed on their constitutional rights.
Maybe right to carry, right to self defense and 2A are not a civil rights then I'm wrong and it's not discriminatory. After all a civil right is something you should never have to check at the door.

Ok, and somehow I missed this groovy thread from last February...

...which makes it clear as mud that:
* Scheels Lincoln welcomes concealed carry, however...
* Some of the Southpointy (how I pronounce it when people put a stupid superflous "e" at the end of a word to sound cool) sidewalk signs prohibit OC or CC, however...
* Some folks here reasonably surmise that such signage doesn't meets the definition of "conspicuous", however...
* I really don't want to have to argue that before the judge. ::)
All of which does make me wish the laws were better in this state regarding the whole signage matter. I understand both sides of the "RKBA versus Property Rights" conversation above, but having to rely on inconsistent signage seems silly and puts lawful carriers, property owners and LEOs in a confusing situation.

This may be a useful analogy: I read in another forum about a bearded-weirdo hippie type hanging out in a California gun store then confronting every ammo / bullet buyer about whether they were aware that lead is killing the California Condor. If you were the gun store owner would you say Hippie Guy's first amendment rights trumped your rights to throw him off your private property?
