Question about public parks...

<< < (3/8) > >>

Justsomeguy,

I agree.  Conboy is admitting that the law they have/had on the books is no longer valid.  He is NOT saying that they can not attempt to post any area they so desire as No CC.  Though I believe he realizes that trying to post a park with an infinite number of entry points would be impossible to enforce and prosecute.

justsomeguy:
Only individual property owners can post as off limits. The parks are owned by "the people" and controlled by a government of "the people". Any government smaller than the state is bound by LB430. If cities could declare areas off limits simply by posting as such what's to stop Obamaha from posting the whole town?

Dan W:
State law

018.04 A person, entity, or employer in control of a place or premises described in Section 018.01O above, which is open to the public, may prohibit permit holders from carrying concealed handguns in the place or premises by posting a conspicuous notice that carrying a concealed handgun is prohibited in or on the place or premises or by making a request, directly or through an authorized representative or management personnel, that the permit holder remove the concealed handgun from the place or premises

justsomeguy:
Dan, I believe the term "entity" was intended to describe a business entity. A governmental "entity" smaller than the state is bound by LB 430.

Since the city could be considered an "entity", this would be their only method of restricting CC.  Why does Omaha not post the entire city?  The same reason they do not post the public parks.  It would be too costly and ineffective.
