Ameritas Group (life insurance, investments, dental insurance) in Lincoln is unfriendly.

From the Nebraska Crossing Outlet Mall:

Hi Wilson,
It has been determined that Nebraska Crossing will be a gun free zone and we will have signage that represents this on our property.

Thank you,
Nebraska Crossing Outlets

The listing for anti-firearm businesses shows the Napa store on Cornhusker in Bellevue.  There is no sign on the door and when I asked, the employees had no knowledge if any restrictions.

I am a new member and new to the forum, so I hope I get this posted in the right place. When the new No Frills at 204th & Pacific first opened, they had a "no firearms, even legally concealed ones" sign on the door. I wrote them a letter and two weeks later it was gone. I am sure I was not the only one. We must continue to let those who would infringe on our rights hear from us.

Glad to be a member and part of the forum!

When we asked the manager in Costco about their policy, he handed us the policy statement from their website that says you can NOT carry in Costco. When we informed us that they should have a sign on their door stating such, they said they don't have to do that to be able to enforce their policy BECAUSE they are a club store and, therefore, are not a place of "'public accommodation' within the meaning of civil rights laws. The definition of 'public accommodation' does not include a bona fide private club or other establishment that is not in fact open to the public".

They obviously have lawyers too! Costco, in my opinion, is trying to have it both ways here. They have a policy, but REFUSE to post such notification on the front of the store because they KNOW that in this state it would cost them business. I am dumping my Costco membership and joining Sam's Club.

Do they sell alcohol?   If so, they cannot charge a membership fee, for alcohol in Nebraska.    Anyone, of legal age, can walk into a Cosco or Sam's Club, and purchase a bottle of wine, without a membership fee. 

This being the case, the premises, is not a private club, and does not benefit from private club status.

So where does COSTCO stand? Do they need to post a sign or not? I would hate to see anyone get caught and get in trouble for carrying concealed inside based on technicalities. If they don't want folks carrying then we should let as many folks know as possible.

I'm aware this isn't in Nebraska but I believe it's a pretty popular place in Iowa for Nebraska motorcycle riders. The Twisted Tail in BeeBeeTown Iowa now has a sign on the front door stating no firearms. Mods if I'm out of line my apologies.

Last time I went in there it was on the glass next to the left side entrance, not on the door itself.  Several years out of date mind you, I have not been back since.

I didn't see it on the front page and search in the forum didn't come up with anything.

Anyone know about Blue Moon fitness being posted? i'm considering joining but haven't been by the building yet and was wondering if anyone on here knew.

thanks

edit: no reply before i got off work so i just went and checked out for myself. no signage posted on the front door or thereabouts. went in, got a tour, signed up.

it must be store by store, I called Scheels a while back and they told me I can conceal carry there, so I do. I do not go to many other stores there so I do not have knowledge of them.

Not gospel, but someone posted a while back the definition of a hospital requires the ability to admit you as a patient...not sure where they got that information or if it applies in this case. I would recommend not CCW'ing there until you are sure
