A business may post a generic gun sign that tells you not to bring a handgun into their establishment e.g. Kwik Shops in Lincoln. They could post a similar sign asking you to not bring an umbrella inside either. Neither is to be misconstrued as a LAW. They have the right to ask you to leave, but this likely would not be prosectutable, nor a violation of your CHG rights. Open carry is "allowed" in Nebraska as their is no state LAW or STATUTE forbidding it. If their is no LAW or STATUTE prohibiting an act, it by conclusion is not illegal, and therefore cannot be prosecuted. The confusion comes with city ordinances and open carry. Although the state does not forbid an issue, a city or county might. I was recently at the Lincoln Airport picking up a rental car. Out of curiosity (and to make him squirm), I questioned the Airport Police about open carry in the entry and lobby (not past the metal detectors to the gates). He agreed that their is no federal, state, or local Lincoln ordinance that would forbid from such action. However, he let me know one would probably be cited or detained for "disturbing the peace". Another interesting point to consider would be a county courthouse and open carry. At the Saunders County courthouse, there is a sign that forbids weapons on the third floor where the courtrooms are. There is metal detector, etc. To my knowledge, there exists no prohibition of open carry anywhere else in the building. Personally, I would not attempt it, but an interesting thought.
As a CHG permit holder we are told that it is against state STATUTE to carry a concealed HG into a bank. Further, there is the "opinion" this negates us from affirmative defense. However, there is nothing in state STATUTE or LAW that forbids the open carry of a HG into a bank.
