Hello,
I am new to the forum and not a CCW permit holder. This is also probably covered elsewhere and I apologize for that in advance but what are the penalties, civil or criminal, for carrying in a store that has this signage posted (assuming you actually have a CCW permit)?
Thanks,
Terry

According to the Nebraska Administrative Code, Title 272, Chapter 21, addenda, p. 24:
Permit holder carrying a concealed handgun into a prohibited place or premises
is a Class III Misdemeanor for the First Offense [Maximum Penalty: 3 Months imprisonment and/or $500 fine, not to mention the legal costs, criminal record, and loss of CHP.]
and a Class I Misdemeanor for 2nd/Subsequent Offenses [Maximum Penalty: 1 year imprisonment and/or $1000 fine.]
Definitely NOT recommended.
And this portion of the NAC is clearly being enforced. You might want to get in touch with ComputerCowboy on this NFOA Forum for more insights on this particular issue.

That's interesting. The fact that someone can put up a sign enters a criminal discussion is perplexing. I can see them filing a civil suit but I would read prohibited place as being a federal institution, bank, etc. I am sure they legally define "prohibited place". Interesting.

Here shows the intelligence of our lawmakers.
There can not be a second offense if you have lost your CHP.
I agree, I feel that a prohibited place is defined in the list of places you can not legally carry concealed. Also, if you cannot easily see a sign prohibiting law abiding citizens from carrying guns, it should be even less of an offense. Besides, if I can't easily see the sign, the criminally intent won't see it either, not that they care anyway.
