Carry at the capitol?

(1/2) > >>

rudy:
I read a story in the Journal star recently about security at the capitol building. (http://journalstar.com/legislature/senators-raise-capitol-security-concerns/article_c578fcb2-893c-57d4-8f05-6deecb72a9c2.html)  The story had an interesting tidbit:

"Concealed carry of guns is not allowed in the Capitol because of the presence of the courts, Collins said. Open carry is allowed." (the story states that Collins is a State Patrol spokeswoman)

I was aware that concealed carry at the capitol was prohibited due to courtrooms in the building; however, I was unaware that open carry was allowed.  Is this one of those things where if it isn't expressly prohibited, it is allowed?

 to my knowledge your not allowed to Concealed carry or open carry.. at any court house

Situations or Circumstances Where Carrying a Gun is Illegal

It is illegal to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. But even with a permit, it is illegal to carry weapons in some locations, including:

    school grounds
    into a law enforcement office or building
    in jail or prison facilities
    in a courtroom or building which contains a courtroom
    at a polling place during an election, or during political rallies or fundraisers
    in government offices or meeting places, including meetings of the legislature or committees
    financial institutions
    athletic events
    hospitals
    in secured areas of airport facilities
    within a church or synagogue (or other similar place of worship)
    during a parade
    establishments licensed to sell liquor,
    or any other place prohibited by federal law.

What is your source for this?

Sandhillian:
I'm not aware of any law in Nebraska that prohibits openly carrying a firearm in any location except a school.  Neb. Rev. Stat. sec. 28-1204.04.
