What is a prohibited place to carry a firearm in Nebraska, even with a CHP?

  1. Banks

  2. Schools

  3. Restaurants serving alcohol

  4. Grocery stores

The correct answer is: Schools

The correct answer is that schools are a prohibited place to carry a firearm in Nebraska, even with a concealed handgun permit (CHP). Nebraska law specifically prohibits firearms on school grounds, which includes not only the school buildings but also the immediate area surrounding them. This restriction is in place to ensure the safety of students and staff in educational environments. While carrying in establishments such as banks, restaurants serving alcohol, and grocery stores may have certain regulations and restrictions, they do not have the absolute prohibition that schools do. For instance, in restaurants serving alcohol, there are conditions under which firearms can be carried, provided that the establishment has not prohibited weapons and specific guidelines are followed. Likewise, grocery stores do not have a blanket prohibition but may also have their own policies regarding firearms. The focus on schools highlights the heightened sensitivity surrounding gun safety and the protection of minors. Hence, understanding the specific statutes that govern where firearms may and may not be carried is crucial for responsible firearm ownership and adherence to Nebraska's laws.
