For those of you who are into making beer or wine, Kirk's Do it Yourself Brew in Lincoln has an NRA sticker right next to the door.  I noticed it when I stopped in today to pick up some supplies, so I let him know about the NFOA.  Kirk is a good guy, so hopefully we'll see him on here.

Budget Storage just off 13th and Hwy 2 is no-carry.  The sticker (no picture, just wording) is placed such that you have to be inside the office and facing outward to read it.  ::)  We've vacated our unit there.

Well I'm at it again! Poking the bear.  ;D

I took my daughter for ice cream at Ivanna Cone in the Creamery Building (701 P St) and noticed a rudimentary "No weapons" sign near the entrance of the building (not Ivanna Cone's interior door).  Soooo...I decided to send off a letter and see what the response is.  Probably no change to the policy, but who knows.


--- Quote ---Greetings,

I visited a tenant in the Creamery Building (701 P St, Lincoln, NE 68508) and noticed the "No Firearms" sign posted in the window.  I was hoping you could answer a few questions for me.  I am sure that your sign works well to keep law abiding citizens with Concealed Handgun Permits (CHP) from entering your property with a firearm, but what has your company done to insure that criminals with ill intent do not bring weapons into the building?  Also, if a criminal did enter this "gun free zone" and the sign did not discourage them from carrying a concealed handgun, what arrangements has Concord Management taken to protect myself, my family, and all the other unarmed patrons of the businesses within?

I only ask these questions because most of the mass shootings that have taken place in the US have been in these so called "gun free zones".  It appears that these signs, though they have the best of intent, did nothing to stop these crimes.  In fact, these individuals intentionally went to these locations to inflict their carnage because they knew no one would be able to defend themselves.  Maybe a sign that more closely meets your intent of stopping criminals would include a statement of "No concealed weapons EXCEPT for CHP holders".

It is my opinion that Concorde Mangement, by posting a sign in its current format, has completely accepted responsibility for myself and my families protection against such heinous crimes. If your company is not willing to bear the weight of such liability (whether legally, morally or financially), then I would ask you to consider letting citizens, who have met the legal requirements to carry a concealed firearm, be responsible for their own safety.

The fact is that Concealed Handgun Permits have be enacted across the country in all but three states.  There is zero proof that it has caused any wild west scenes in the streets as predicted before the legislation was enacted.  However, it has been demonstrated that "Gun Free Zones" are misread by the criminal to mean "Free Crime Zone".

Sincerely,

Well you are factually incorrect... CCW is legal in all but 1 state

Oops...I just went to handgunlaw.us, made a quick glance at their national map and counted the red states.  Oh well...hopefully it will still get the point across.
