Signs prohibiting carry, how vague can they be?

There are plenty of businesses that have no firearms,  no guns, guns not allowed, the gun with a slashed circle sub, etc. But what about ones who just put up a "no weapons of any kind". Does this satisfy the state statute on conspicuous signage stating no guns for concealed carriers? Or does this only apply to their company policy of hopefully keeping hooligans with knives away?

barmandr:
Not sure how/why you'd consider "No Weapons of Any Kind" to be vague.  Nebraska has no requirement regarding the use of any kind of standardized signage type/style business owners are to use.  As long as the "No Weapons of any Kind" sign meets the other requirements for a business to be deemed "posted", then that sign carries the weight of law.

GreggL:

Addressing the flip side of the issue, do the official looking signs that specifically prohibit concealed carry
also restrict open carry? I've read the small print on the signs and they don't seem to address open carry.
I typically just try to avoid doing business in the stores that post such signs.

I've also seen signs that prohibit weapons except for CCW permit holders, which I think is a move in the right direction.

Any clarification on this will be appreciated. Thanks.

There are places like the Gateway Mall in Lincoln that only have signage on the side wall of the entry points.  There is a plaque that is titled rules of conduct and something like #16 is no weapons except for law enforcement.  I almost think that this is next to entrapment.  There is no sign on the entry doors.

It just depends on how willing you are to participate in a lawsuit if you're caught.
