Omaha Permit Process... still?
AAllen:
Another strike against this ordinance is the definition of concealable firearm in Omaha Ordinances which must all be registered (any firearm with a barrel less than 18"), the police don't register Short Barreled Rifles as they should to be in accordance with the ordinances.
475okh:
Looks to me like the city has no right to regulate concealable firearms as long as the citizen has a valid ccw permit. Am I missing something??
DanClrk51:
475okh. I think that is the way the law should be interpreted. If you have a CHP no city regulations regarding the ownership, possession, and transportation of a handgun should apply. This should also include & should apply to Omaha residents that possess a valid CHP. Since that is what the law really reads.

I had a conversation with someone I know in the Omaha Scheels store to find out if the city has notified their store that CHP holders cannot be required to register their handguns... Because LB 430 says that cities now cannot regulate OWNERSHIP of concealed handguns.... Certainly this means requiring registration before a purchase is regulating OWNERSHIP????
Chris, I'd suggest you cc the AG's office and your state senator as well.
Here is the statute:
18-1703 Ownership, possession, and transportation of concealed handguns; power of cities and villages; existing ordinance, permit, or regulation; null and void. Cities and villages shall not have the power to regulate the ownership, possession, or transportation of a concealed handgun, as such ownership, possession, or transportation is authorized under the Concealed Handgun Permit Act, except as expressly provided by state law. Any existing city or village ordinance, permit, or regulation regulating the ownership, possession, or transportation of a concealed handgun, as such ownership, possession, or transportation is authorized under the act, is declared to be null and void as against any permitholder possessing a valid permit under the act.

This is an item that I am personally working on. I have had conversations with the city of Omaha Prosecutor and Senator Christensen's office trying to get this clarified. I am in the process of sending a letter to Omaha gun store owners, asking them to discuss this issue with their legal counsel, and asking them to help take the lead in getting this clarified and fixed! Especially since Omaha gun stores stand to benefit from this financially big time by not missing out on handgun sales.
