Sorry for the delay in posting. Have been getting the run around lately! Have a appointment with the Mayor this morning. Looking more likely this is the work of one person in a lofty office. Will post when more info is known. Thanks

Husker_Fan...  you raise an interesting perspective.  Some examples I am familiar with...a few volunteer fire departements that post no carry.  Ceresco village hall posts no carry...  interesting, interesting.....
Under the statute, I think they can ban carry in areas that are otherwise off limits to CHP holders. That may include the Village Hall (if it has a courtroom or there is a government board meeting going on).

In a nut shell, I got tossed under the bus! But thats okay, I have contacted city council members who are not happy with being left out of this process. I will also be speaking at the end of the city council meeting on the 19th. The meeting is at 5:30 instead of 7:30 normal time. Attn. all North Platte folks. If you live inside the city limits of North Platte, please attend meeting. I have been told many plan to show. I also had a nice talk with the individual who is running against Mayor Kaschke. Dewight Livingston. His Wife is a concealed permit holder. As things progress, will let you know. Thanks

I never know who to vote for mayor.  They pretty much say the same lies with lowering taxes.   But if livingston wife has permit.   I might just vote for him.     I was driving around waiting for appt.  The signs are still up.  A  few have rain damage.  Ink is smeared.

Got guys generating lists of names who are not happy  with this. If you live in np, be at city council  meeting  at 5:30 on the 19th.

Already talked to his office. I even called the NRA-ILA and asked them to see if Toby Keith would say something about it at his concert on the 22nd. He being a concealed carry supporter! A quick little jab would go a long way! Trying to cover every angle I can. Thanks bullit.

I went to the rodeo tonight.  I was surprised not to see any signs up.   I think rodeo would fall under sporting event.    I wasnt packing since i was planning on drinking but at 5 bucks a beer.  I had one.  . 

I will try to make the meeting.  And tell others.

Also, contact your city council person. Ask them to support removal of signs. We need one more to side with us. Please have others contact theirs also. Ask those you enlist to be calm but firm when speaking about your concealed carry rights. It helps to have some talking points already written down prior to the call. Thanks

I`m glad that text made it around. Trying to get everyone to call their city councilman. My phone number is 308-650-0745. Hope you and others can make the meeting. Send me a text if you have any questions. Chuck

I live in Lincoln so I won't be there to support you guys, but I just wanted to say it sounds like you're doing a great job.  Keep up the good work.

I've thought about going. I'd have to leave Omaha around 1pm and get back real late. If a couple others wanted to go and share gas expenses,I have a Taurus with ice cold A/C. If I was the only one from eastern Ne. interested,I may bail out. Perhaps, if the North Platte government sees they are drawing statewide attention,they may be a little less cavalier.  RJ

 If anyone else wanted to go,but would prefer driving,I'd help with the fuel.

Chuck,  got your number in my phone.   Are there any plans or ideas we need ahead of time?  So we don't show up lost infront of the council.

Thanks for the support from out your way. Of course you are welcome to show, but I would hold off and save the gas! Our overzealous city attorney got a call from the NRA friday! Yes, I gave them a ring. Anyway, he is telling all the city council people who are being bombarded at home that a city parks employee posted the signs! Some serious posturing going on right now! I suspect this will remedy itself soon! If not I will welcome all the help I can get! Thanks!

If you would like to speak also, I welcome it. We will probably only have a couple minutes each. I`m hoping this may resolve itself as you can see from my reply to omaharj. I still need all of the local people I can get to show up with disgusted looks on their faces!!!! If this does go the way of the trash bin , I want them to think twice before ever trying something like this again! Thanks
