Anti-CCW and Pro-CCW businesses listing

[sparky]

While we're on the subject of hotels ... does anyone know if the Hilton in downtown Omaha is criminal-friendly or not?  I have a meeting there this afternoon.

TIA

Not sure but I would doubt it is CCW friendly as I believe that is the one that is owned by the city of Omaha.

Guess I'll find out in a couple hours.

They do not.

No signs on the entry doors.  Didn't see any in the lobby either.

Just a thought, but concealed means concealed, and if it is out of sight, it is out of mind.

By seeking out the information from the establishment, you bring it "into mind," and in some cases may cause an easily imaginable response of some manager saying "You know, we should put up some signs."

Due to the ignorance of far too many, bringing attention to this issue can illicit only a negative reaction from the general population, as seen with the public outcry for an AWB after the Aurora incident. The AWB expired in 2004 with no real outcry to have it renewed, until some jackball brings attention to it by using an "Assault Weapon" to murder and maim a 50 some odd number innocent people.

The establishment has the responsibility of posting signage or informing you. In other words, I would generally discourage actively seeking out the information from the establishment.

When dealing with the AVERAGE manager, it is far easier to get them to put up signs than to take them down.

I would write them back and ask them what their definition of "reasonable" is, and if they are providing an armed bodyguard for you and accepting all resposibility for your safety, since they are taking away your ability to protect yourself by forcing you to be disarmed while on their premises.

DING DING. THAT"S EXACTLY WHAT WENT THROUGH MY MIND WHEN I READ THAT TIDBIT!

[zombiehunter84]

My brother sent an email to them as he was looking for a hotel that is CCW friendly while he was traveling earlier this year. That is the response he got. I agree, unless they have armed personnel, that is complete and utter BS.. ESPECIALLY this..

"It is our policy that we do not allow anyone (including off duty law enforcement officers) to possess firearms in any of our hotels."

They cannot tell an LE officer that he cannot carry there.

[Mudinyeri]

The net of it is, they don't have signs up indicating their policy.  The law requires them to put up signs.  (I checked two different entrances - the main entrance and the one from the parking garage.)

Thats all that matters, glad we could get a sign check there!

Agreed.  The more this issue is brought up, it becomes more likely that they will post the signs.

Every time I hear about a Motel or Hotel banning firearms, I wonder just how they can ban firearms in a room that is your legal domicile for the duration of your stay.

I was actually going to post on here about my trip to Lincoln this past weekend.

As a CCW permit holder, I have been really watching for door signs. We stayed at the Americ Inn down south along hwy 2. 

In the little book in our room, it said no firearms allowed in the gotel.

However, the entrance had no sign.

I opted to just keep my mouth shut and carry on.

Americ Inn should be put on the list???

I frequent the Applebee's in Bellevue and checked the front foyer yesterday for signage. I was prompted to do so for two reasons: 1) this site has it listed 2) a guest that was obviously CC'ing. Let me make clear that I was not checking to confront the patron, but, only to see whether the signage had changed. I took some time to both check the foyer and the exterior of the building. I did not notice any anti-weapons signage. But,  will check again sometime over the weekend.

[Nebraska12]

They do not.

So, my first thought with this: They want a citizen that has had a background check to obtain a firearm, hand their weapon over to a Hotel Clerk for storage? I don't know anything about that person....not going to happen. Unloaded only means unloaded only as far as the next Walmart for a quick ammo purchase. Simply said, I wouldn't trust them with my weapon. I don't know them from Adam. Just my 2 cents.

[DaveB]

What if the one working at the counter has a felony record that doesn't allow him to come into contact with a gun?

[Nebraska12]

Checked and double checked...I did not see that Applebee's in Bellevue was posted anywhere. I've probably checked their front door and foyer area at least 3 or 4 times.

[webtrekker]

Does anyone know if the Centry-Link Center is anti-CCW or the Home&Garden Expo event?  Would like to head down there this weekend, but don't want to get there only to be required to walk back to the car and leave my firearm.
Thanks

^^ I believe I have read on here it is posted.

I recently stayed at a Embassy Suites which is owned by Hilton in KC and noticed the damn sign on the revolving door.  Now I’m not going to check my weapon with a clerk and certainly not going to leave it locked in the truck overnight.  I just used the single door where there was no sign and concealed means concealed.  In the future I will not go there.
