DR4NRA:

--- Quote from: CitizenClark on December 04, 2014, 03:11:48 PM ---I must have missed something. Why would he be charged as a prohibited person?

--- End quote ---

9.36.100 Unlawful Possession of Firearms.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to possess any firearm within the corporate limits or
on any property of the City of Lincoln outside the corporate limits when that person has been
convicted of any one of the following offenses within the last ten years.

This and denial of purchase permit means Illegal/ prohibited I do believe.


From OP

To keep it short, I went to renew my handgun permit and was denied. They said I fell under Lincolns new ordinance. Supposedly I cant have guns do to a 5 sec. phone call I made to me ex.



Headline Front Page.

"NSP lawyer overturns judges conviction and issues CHP to person convicted of violating Protection order/No Contact Order in domestic dispute."

I think DR4NRA mistook GreggL as the OP (ckloeter)

GreggL, I know it reads - except those used for hunting, but I believe most places are reporting handguns.  I suppose what the city was also trying to get at was those dreaded Evil Black Rifles (ARs).
Hmmm. That has me wondering about the last AR I bought. I will have to check with my store also. 
Let us know what your FFL says.  We need to get to the bottom of this.

GreggL:

Ok, I called the local gun shop that I purchased my 3 gun shotgun from. The owner took the time to discuss this with me. This ordinance only applies to sales within the city of Lincoln. He told me they interpret it to mean handguns only. Any rifle (including AR's etc.) they perceive  as being able to be used for hunting and thus, not reported. He also confirmed for me that they also report handguns that they do transfers on.
He shared with me that he believes the ordinance is unconstitutional but would need to be challenged in court.
I appreciate those of you that have responded in helping me to understand this.

NE Bull:
