Allow Workers To Have Guns In Vehicles

(1/2) > >>

Aldo:
Hey, I know that there are a slew of LBs going on now this legislative session, especially some pretty big fish, but it would be nice to one day (another session) have NE consider allowing workers to have guns in their vehicles.

Check out what a U.S. Circuit of Appeals Court did today regarding Oklahoma:

NRA lawyer got involved to advocate for this ruling.

Jesse T:
CCW permit holders already can... I wasn't aware that we couldn't, except in obamaha.

Cathy1911:
Yes, and I sure hope the anti's don't figure it out.

Aldo:
Unfortunate for me, though, since I am employed at the university (in Lincoln) where "they" prohibit guns on their property.

I guess that brings up the question as to whether their parking lot is considered "property", but I do not want to alert anyone at the university of my interest in this issue.

Personally, I think it is bogus that university employees cannot carry concealed...and, from my interpretation of their verbage, not have it locked in my vehicle in the parking lot.

If anyone knows different for certain, then please let me know.

Jesse T:
I guess you are right.  The CCW Permit does not explicitly allow you to carry your weapon in your car at prohibited places unless it is "concealed weapons" prohibited only.  Does not cover "other" i.e. default prohibited places. hospitals, schools, etc.

Luckily my employer makes provisions for just this occurrence... They elected to ban all weapons on hospital premises.  (CCW is prohibited by law anyway in any trauma center).  However in their weapons policy there is a line about exceptions to the ban. 

"Exceptions to this ban are vehicles in the parking lots or garages outside the medical center premises."

So either way I think I am pretty safe having it in my car when I'm at work.
