Carry at the capitol?

<< < (2/2)

TroyR:
I had heard that the sign legally only applies to concealed carry and not to open carry. Where do we check to see if true?  Seems to me that most would intend it to mean ALL GUNS, but I am curious if anyone knows whether the sign legally applies to open carry.  I'd personally never suggest carrying either way if a place has a sign up.

AAllen:
Other than Omaha and Blair which have their own licensing/prohibitions on the open carry of firearms (we need LB 289 to pass and get rid of these) there is no laws (it is possible there is another community that I do not personally know of, if you know of one please share so we can get it on the list) pertaining to the open carry of firearms in Nebraska. Since it is not illegal it therefore must be legal.  The posting of places as no carry only carries a legal prohibition to those with a CHP, like someone else said the signs should generally be taken as a statement by the management that they do not want guns there, so they could ask an open carrier to leave and if they do not have them charged with trespassing.  This carries the same punishment as it would for someone with a CHP.

Even though there are no laws against the open carry of firearms in courthouses any other than law enforcement doing so would be asked to leave, individual interactions with law enforcement would vary and individual attitudes would highly effect how things get handled.

sidearm1:
While I haven't found anything on open carry, I expect you would be asked to leave after being detained.  As far as concealed carry go, state statute 69-2441 details where you can't carry concealed.

Neither one of those are very good sources.  I noticed a few errors in each.

Like Andy said, and as I noted above, there are no state laws on the subject of where you can and cannot open carry, except for schools.

Don't take that to mean that it's ok to open carry in a courthouse, I'm just saying it's not illegal as a result of state law.
