Gun Free Zone?

<< < (6/8) > >>

Dan W:
I would argue that public  parks and city property is not properly restricted in this way anymore than a public street or sidewalk. Who is really in control here? The people are the city! I think that legislative intent would show that CCW  in Lincoln parks would be legal, as one of the supporting Senators actually said this during the debate of LB430

 I also would like to see the AG's opinion on this parks thing, but I don't think just anybody can request a legally binding opinion. We might  need a Senator to ask  Bruning.

But as it stands right now, some cities think they have the power to do this according to the laws and regulations I posted above, and unless this changes, it will spread all through the state.

I have already seen the No Guns signs posted at Omaha city parks. i'm fine if i leave my gun locked in my truck while at the park correct?

Dan W:
After LB430 becomes law 90 days from May 29th this will be the law  (possibly 90 days from the signing by the Gov on May 19th)

3) A permitholder carrying a concealed handgun in a
 vehicle or on his or her person while riding in or on a vehicle
 into or onto any parking area, which is open 1 to the public, used by
 any location listed in subdivision (1)(a) of this section, does not
 violate this section if, prior to exiting the vehicle, the handgun
  is locked inside the glove box, trunk, or other compartment of the
  vehicle, a storage box securely attached to the vehicle, or, if the
  vehicle is a motorcycle, a hardened compartment securely attached
  to the motorcycle. This subsection does not apply to any parking
  area used by such location when the carrying of a concealed handgun
  into or onto such parking area is prohibited by federal law.
 

OnTheFly:
I was hoping they would not ban it in Lincoln parks.  I ride my bike on the trails which go through some parks and/or may be considered park property.  I would think an open air location like that without specific entrance/exit points may be difficult to enforce the "No CCW" signs if you took your ticket to a judge.

I had one recent incident where a young (early 20's) man tried to get out of his car to come accost me.  I have NO idea what made him honk at me and flip me off.  Some people just hate bicyclists.  After that I was thinking putting my firearm in a fanny pack might be a good idea.

I have 2 questions here.
First in regards to Dan's last post here(nearly 2yrs ago). A school parking lot, is it legal to enter a school parking lot to pick up your child or if entering the school for an event and securing your firearm before exiting the vehicle legal?
? 2
In a legal to carry retail building such as a large box store or grocery store with a bank branch is the entire building a "no ccw" area? Does it make a difference if the bank has a distinctive entry point (internal to the building, not an outside entry)?
