Signs prohibiting carry, how vague can they be?

Hence, the reason I have my quick open with a 3 1/4" blade on me most of the time.

I had forgotten about the length limit. I can now relax about my less than 3.5" knife. :)

Hastings has a 3" limit

The lack of state reciprocity is a problem here. In Lincoln it's the auto knife in Hastings its the length. We need a common set of state level weapon laws. How is one expected to know what other towns might have their own codes. I would hate to loose my CCP for carrying a knife that is of legal length in 99% of the state. I have seen 3.5 inches mentioned many times here, but how many knew about the Hastings Code.
The Hastings City Code
21-101.
Carrying concealed weapons.
No person in the City shall wear under his or her clothes, or conceal about his or her person, or display in a threatening manner, any dangerous or deadly weapon including, including but not limited to, any pistol, revolver, sling shot, cross-knuckles or knuckles of lead, brass or other metal, or any bowie knife, or any knife resembling a bowie knife, or any knife with a switch-blade or device whereby the blade or blades can be opened by a flick of a button, pressure on the handle or other mechanical contrivance, or a pocket knife having a blade of more than three inches in length. No thing in this section shall prohibit the carrying of a concealed handgun in a manner otherwise consistent with
Neb. Rev. St. § 69-2427 et. seq., known as the Concealed Handgun Permit Act or 18 United States Code 926, known as the Law Enforcement Officer’s
Safety Act.
(Code 1973, 39-1; Ord. No. 1750 and 4222-5/2009)

I will admit that I did not. I knew it was a possibility, but was only really worried about Omaha and the surrounding towns when I was looking into this a while back.
Thankfully, I have not been to Hastings (at least not since high school), so I have not knowingly violated this law yet.
