--- Quote from: Jesse T on January 03, 2011, 03:55:52 PM ---While I agree private businesses should have the right to dictate their own rules, I don't see why banning concealed carry should get its own special section in CCW rules for it. (and punishments for breaking it).
I just don't think you should get a firearms offense for it.

Jesse T. has hit the spot! Property owners should and do have the right to prohibit anyone for any reason on their own property. But lets keep it a trespassing issue not a firearms offense! Personally I would like to see Nebraska adopt Missouri's language regarding this.
http://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/MSHPWeb/Publications/Brochures/documents/SHP-863.pdf
Carrying a concealed firearm in any location specified above is not a
criminal act. However, you can be denied access to the premises or may
be removed from the premises for doing so. If a peace officer is summoned:
? Upon the first offense, you can be cited and fined up to $100.
? If within six months, a second offense occurs, you can be fined up
to $200, and your concealed firearms endorsement can be suspended
for a period of one year.
? If within one year of the first offense a third citation for a similar violation
is issued, you may be fined up to $500, and your concealed
carry endorsement revoked. If your concealed carry endorsement
is revoked, you are not eligible for the endorsement for a period of
three years."
On the other hand I would like Nebraska to eventually become a "Constitutional Carry State" with no permit requirement but this Missouri language shouldn't interfere with that.

Sorry for the delay in response. The issues I've outlined with regard to state parking facilities are indeed addressed in state policy. First, the state labor contract and second, the DHHS department policy. The DHHS policy however is a bit concerning.
Per the State Labor Contract:
Possession of a firearm is forbidden in State work places by employees other than those who may be authorized in connection with official duties for the employer, and Game and Parks Commission employees who reside in State housing or who serve as Volunteer Hunter Education Instructors, and Aeronautics employees who reside on state airfields.
DHHS Policy Weapons in the Workplace:
DHHS employees are prohibited from bringing weapons into the workplace. Possession of firearms and explosive devices by employees are also prohibited by the DHHS Workplace Policies and/or NAPE/AFSCME contract. This policy applies to all DHHS occupied buildings, grounds, parking areas, and agency vehicles.
So I guess my point is mute as these are indeed policies. it does beg the question however so I'll ask it. What about city owned parking garages used by the public?

ComputerCowboy:
The problem I see is that if someone puts a sign up thten no matter what it may not be seen. If you get asked there is no way you don't know the wishes of the property owner. If you restricted access like at the airport when you try to board a plane once again you are sure to have either seen the signs, been asked about it, or both. The intention of the offender is very important here because while no one wants to see an absent minded old guy go to jail because he didn't understand,, everyone is sure to want to see a guy who trys to sneak a gun somewhere in an attempt to do harm get some time in a cell. We all know criminals don't use ccw licences to commit crimes.
