Lincoln armed robbery spree - gun free zones??
« on: February 09, 2015, 10:46:42 AM »
Just curious if anyone else has thought about the recent crime spree in Lincoln and if / which of the businesses that were robbed were gun free zones?

Im not saying these geniuses were smart enough to specifically choose the business that had the sticker displayed, but it might be interesting to find out.

I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.  I carry a lot of ammo because I cant run very fast.

It's an interesting idea.  Don't know if the perps put that much thought into it.  (Those sorta folks aren't always known for being super bright.)   Here's the list of sites they held up in case anyone wishes to report on whether there is signage.

Jan. 26 -- Howard Johnson on Northwest 12th St., 9:14 p.m.
Jan. 27 -- Sonic on 27th St. near Old Dairy Road, 6:22 a.m.
Jan. 28 -- Subway near 14th St. and Pine Lake Road, 7:30 a.m.
Jan. 29 -- Holiday Inn Express on Amber Hill Road, 2:19 a.m.
Jan. 30 -- TNT Vapors on South Street and near 17th Street, 7:45 p.m.
Jan. 31 -- Dairy Queen on 16th Street near Old Cheney Road, 11:30 p.m.
Feb. 2 -- D'Leon's on 27th Street near Randolph Street, 8:10 a.m.
Feb. 3 -- Kwik Shop on S. 56th Street near South Street, 2:35 a.m.
           -- LaMar's Donuts on South 48th Street near Pioneers Boulevard, 6 a.m.
Feb. 4 -- Russ's Market on Washington Street near S. 17th Street, 7:56 a.m.
Feb. 8 -- Motel 6 on N. 27th Street, 2:48 a.m.

I have never seen signs at any Russ' or Super Saver, but would have to say this is a yes and no as they robbed the clerk in the seperate liquor store which I do believe is off limits to carry.

Other than the national chain Sonic has asked folks not to carry there, I don't believe any of these places are posted, even the sonic isn't 'posted'.

Sonic would probably be a push in that although they ask you not to carry most people never get out of their vehicle so they would be exempt if I remember my rules correctly.

I know DQ isn't posted... and neither is LaMars, we frequent both.
