Columbus, Nebraska, is considering banning concealed carry.
Joe Jarecke, vice chairman of the committee, said he would support a citywide ban of concealed weapons.
Carrying concealed handguns “is not necessary in our city. We can do without it,†Jarecke said. “I see no reason for people to carry guns around here in Columbus.â€
You see the mind of some people. If they see no "need," then you go to jail. Interesting philosophy of government . . .
Here are the places off limits, according to the article:
The law prohibits carrying a concealed weapon into any law enforcement facility; courtroom; polling place during a bona fide election, meeting of any government body, financial institution, professional, semiprofessional, or collegiate athletic event; in or on school property or at a school-sponsored activity or athletic event; place of worship; emergency room or trauma center; political rally or fundraiser; bar; where the person, persons, entity, or entities in control of the property or employer in control of the property has prohibited carrying concealed handguns into or onto the place or premises, or into or onto any other place or premises where handguns are prohibited by law, rule or regulation.
