The standardized form should contain a four- (4) inch circle with a slash covering a handgun and text giving notice that carrying a concealed handgun anywhere on the premises is prohibited, A form will be available on the Patrol's website which can be downloaded for printing. The Patrol also recommends that a place or premises wishing to prohibit concealed handguns post the sign at normal eye level at each public entrance to the place or premises. Normal eye level is considered to be between 54" and 66" from the floor,016.06 Except as prohibited by federal law, a permit holder may carry a concealed handgun in a vehicle or on his or her person while riding in or on a vehicle into or onto any parking area which is open to the public and used by any of the places or premises listed above if the handgun is not removed from the vehicle and the handgun is properly secured in the vehicle before the permit holder exits the vehicle. To be properly secured in the vehicle, the handgun will be locked inside the glove box, trunk or other compartment of the vehicle, in a storage box attached to the vehicle, or in a securely attached hardened compartment if the vehicle is a motorcycle.016.07 Employers may prohibit employees or other persons who are permit holders from carrying concealed handguns in vehicles owned by the employer.016.08 While state law does not mandate, the Patrol recommends that any establishment having a liquor license which derives over one-half of its income from the sale of alcoholic liquor post conspicuous notice of no concealed carry on the premises with the standardized sign.272 Neb.
