We need to have format and placement rules on the ccw prohibited signs

(1/6) > >>

ComputerCowboy:
I want to get sign rules put in place. How do we move it forward? I'll talk to someon at Christensen's office and see if he will put something forward or request that the AG decide the format and placemant rules. Does That sound like the right path? I'm currently dealing with Omaha telling me that I'm a criminal because I didn't see a sign that must have been at groin level instead of eye level. I never wanted to be active in gun rights or belong to the nra but they just had to poke the bear heh heh heh. Now I believe that not doing anything is the same as being complicit.
>I spoke with Dan last week and Kylie today in Christensen's office. They are trying to put legislation forward on the subject of ccw and will get back with me on signage in specific. Dan Just had a baby with his wife today so he's out of the office. Gratz to him. July 23 2010

Ronvandyn:
I dont have an answer for you but I do applaud the effort.  If you need some help PM me and I'd be glad to assist as I can.  I have seen some of the signs, small dinky things that are hidden away in the corner of a window. 

I seem to remember from training that the law does say that it has to be conspicuously placed, but even that is a bit ambiguous.

unfy:
I agree with computercowboy -- getting signage stuff straightened out and enforced is great.


A friend pointed out a wikipedia paragraph on the topic (i lack direct link sorry):

"In some states, business owners have been documented posting signs that appear to prohibit guns, but legally do not because the signs do not meet state or local laws defining the appearance, placement, or verbiage of the sign. Such signage can be posted out of ignorance to the law, or intent to pacify gun control advocates while not actually prohibiting the practice."

sparky:
I would have to agree.  Something needs to be done, I just about walked into a gas station today that had a sign three window panes over from the door (about 7 feet) and I caught it out of the corner of my eye just as I was opening the door.  I just closed the door and went to the one accross the street.  I even looked all over the door and around it first.  Let me know if I can help in some way.

Dan W:
I have asked for this a few times, but it always got pushed to the back of the agenda to focus on more pressing things.

As the law stands, the NSP has the power to write the rules, but the existing law does not restrict the type of sign.

I don't think the AG has any power here.

I agree the upcoming session would be a great time to push for signage standards, and I also think we have some people at the NSP that would like to clarify this area for all concerned, but can't do it without some legislative direction
