Omaha city parks ban?

<< < (5/7) > >>

Have you read the AG's opinion from 2009?

http://www.ago.ne.gov/ag_opinion_view?oid=4133

Not exactly the question you're asking, but in the ballpark.

If further clarification is required we need to convince a State Senator to request the opinion

Husker_Fan:
I have read it and think it's helpful, but the question I would want answered isn't in there.  Those questions were very specific to Omaha's registration system. The question I'd ask is:

"Does Neb. Rev. Stat. Sec. 18-1703 prohibit a city or village from regulating the possession or transportation of a concealed firearm on municipal property that is open to the public?"

"Did cities and villages have the authority to prohibit the permit holders from carrying concealed handguns into or onto a place or premises where the city or village is in control of the property as provided in Neb. Rev. Stat. 69-2441(1)(a)?"

"If so, was such authority revoked or otherwise impaired by the subsequent enactment of Neb. Rev. Stat. 18-1703?"

I'll draft a request with these questions and maybe we can see if one of the state senators would be willing to sign and submit it.

I agree some clarification would be in order.  Once you have a draft of the "Question" I think I may know a Senator that we can get to formally ask it.

After some thinking...... because the signs were put up before the  statute outlawing ccw banning by cities, perhaps all that is needed is Andy to call the Mayor's hotline and explain their oversight. Perhaps the signs would just be quietly taken down. Hopefully, they will see it as a lost cause and comply. I wouldn't get into the enforceability aspects or even have a discussion: just point out they forgot to take down the signs and go from there. One step at a time   RJ

Husker_Fan:
I believe some of the signs went up after the change in the law.  The prohibition on guns on some of them is included in a list of rules including having you dog leashed and what hours the park is open.

Andy,
I'll shoot you something today or tomorrow.
