I Tried to post this earlier but I don't think it went thru so I will try again.
ReplyDelete~3 weeks ago My wife and I went to the henderson library, Gibson branch, after being their as an open carry couple for about 4 hours an older lady, I presume to be the branch manager approached us with security demanding to know if we had permits to carry the weapons. Confused as why I would need a permit in an open carry state, I showed security my Arizona permit, as did my wife,and she huffed and went and went away, nothing further happened.We remained in the library about 2 hours more before leaving. I returned to the Gibson library 3 more times during the following weeks, still open carrying without incident, save the feeling of being " persona non grata" Now today as we entered with my wife, off to the side about 10 feet off the ground was a brand new shiney "No Weapons" sign. Not on the entrance door or at eye level, but off to the side and mounted near the ceiling. I assume that during their monthly meeting a discussion ensued and they decided to continue to violate Nevada law.
I hope the case makes it was through the court system expeditiously, and the personal in charge are held accountable for their actions, with a minimum of loss of position.
