Need info on Lincoln handgun laws

<< < (2/6) > >>

mott555:
So basically I can go get my handgun and bring it into Lincoln and not be in violation of everything? Great to hear.

I can't wait to at least be able to legally store my handguns at home. Omaha seems to have a "No Guns" sign every twelve feet so that's about all it'll get me, but I suppose it's better than nothing.

I miss Missouri's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" handgun policy. Their CCW law has a list of places you can't carry, but then it immediately says there is no penalty if you're caught carrying there  ;D. Basically you had to be really stupid multiple times before you could get in legal trouble for it.

As people have said, you will not be breaking any law if you take your guns from someplace outside of Omaha to Lincoln and use them for the class.

Even better, once you GET your CCW permit, you will then be able to move your handguns back into your home in Omaha without having to register them.  :)

According to his statement above, Mott555 lives in Omaha. 
And he owns concealable handguns that are located outside of Omaha.

Now, according to the Omaha Municode, since he owns these handguns as an Omaha resident, is he required by law to register same handguns in Omaha?

What say you???

Omaha MuniCode
Sec. 20-251. - Required.
(a)It shall be unlawful for any person to own, have possession of, or maintain control over any concealable firearm which has not been registered to said person with the chief of police in accordance with this division, except when
 
(i) such possession or control is with the knowledge and express consent of the person in whose name such concealable firearm is registered; or
 
(ii) the owner, possessor or transporter is in compliance with the laws of the State of Nebraska under the Concealed Handgun Permit Act or has a valid license or permit to carry a concealed handgun issued by any other state or the District of Columbia if

   (1) the holder of the license or permit is not a resident of Nebraska and
   (2) the Nebraska Attorney General has determined that the standards for issuance of such license or permit by such state or District of Columbia are equal to or greater than the standards imposed by the State of Nebraska.

That's a really interesting point, when you think about it.  Say you live in Omaha, but have a cabin in Colorado.  In said cabin, you have a gun safe wherein you keep several firearms of various types, including handguns.

According to the strict letter of the Omaha Muni Code----you are supposed to bring those in and register them.  It doesn't actually mention anywhere that your ownership of said guns only qualifies if the guns themselves are in Omaha.  It specifically uses "or" instead of "and" in terms of the qualifications.

That's interesting---I hadn't noticed that before.  (It is also stupid, but then again, this entire section of the Omaha code is extremely stupid.)

Thanks for pointing that out, SFG----that IS something people need to think about.

RLMoeller:
They having town hall meetings around Omaha.  I wonder if anyone will bring that topic up.
