Omaha city parks ban?

What is interesting is that when cities, posing as "business owners," post public parks and such, they really are attempting to regulate pistol carry which is illegal under state law.
Just noticed that in Washington, cities lost this lawsuit---and I'm betting Omaha and Lincoln would also if it was pushed. Anyone able to ask the Attorney General what he thinks about it? :)
"In response, the city claimed the ban wasn’t a "law" or a criminal regulation, and that it was acting in its "proprietary capacity" as a property owner." ---and they lost.

I agree, the differences between a public road, a public sidewalk, a public trail (right of way?) and a public park are nil.
How a city can ban CCW in one place and be prevented from banning it in the others is beyond me, and I strongly support action to overturn this practice.
We need to get a Senator to request the AG's opinion, and that effort has begun
