open carry in city parks
H2O_King89:
I thought the state law was uniform across the whole state and prevented townships making their own laws?

Can't wait for the preemption bill to pass next session.

This was a battle in the legislature a few (couple?) years ago. I would have to look up the LB #, but H2O_King89 is correct. Unless that park is posted "No CC", then Omaha can not restrict concealed carry. Open is another story (in Omaha). Considering that they would have to post a "No CC" sign every six feet along the park perimeter, I highly doubt they would have luck enforcing this in a park. Now if the park has a fence all the way around and there are limited access points that could each be posted with "No CC" signage, then it would hold water.
ETA: @TROYHAYS...You will have to search Cozad ordinance to find out if open carry is allowed. Even if it is, expect to have a conversation with the local po-po after the first hoplophobe calls them regarding "man in park with gun".

Besides Omaha having limits other cities also have limits on carry, an example the City of Blair bans the open carry of loaded firearms everywhere in the city. To know about any given city you would need to read their local ordinances and possibly talk to an attorney. We really need LB289 to pass and end this patchwork of laws.

Do you have a source for that info? That's news to me, for sure.
