Do I need a permit to buy a handgun in sarpy county?
husker3in4:
Thanks for the information guys.
So I need to buy a handgun permit from the Sherriffs office to take possession of the handgun.
I know there is a difference between Sarpy and Douglas county.
Is it that you are required to register your handgun in Douglas county but not in Sarpy county?
If I were to buy a handgun out of state, it would be shipped to me.
One poster replied that it has to be shipped to an FFL. Excuse my lack of knowledge, but what is an FFL?

A FFL is a Company that holds a federal firearms licences.
If you buy out of state it must ship to a FFL not you. Your FFL must legally transfer the handgun to you.

Don't be sorry. All the state and federal rules make it quite confusing.
Federal law requires that a handgun purchased out of state be transferred into your possession through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). So you would purchase the gun and it would be shipped to an FFL of your choice. It sounds like you are near Omaha, so I would recommend "RL Moeller Sporting Arms". NFOA board member, and all around good guy. There are plenty others. Generally their fee will be $25-35.
A long gun (shotgun or rifle) does not have this requirement. You could purchase that face-to-face from a FFL in or out of state and take immediate possession. As others have said, it must be a legal firearm in Nebraska (which there aren't many limits).
The other aspect of your purchase question dealing with Sarpy or Douglas counties, I can not answer. Omaha has a handgun registration which others here can answer whether this applies to you.
Sounds like you might be relatively new to firearms or at least handguns. Welcome to the sickness. ;D

Omaha has mandatory handgun registration, you are required to register if you bring any handgun into the city limits even if you are not an Omaha or Nebraska resident. However this does not apply if you have a valid CHP.
I'm seeing things from a Douglas County perspective, does Omaha actually extend into Sarpy County?

Thankfully state law prohibits Omaha from crossing the county line. :) Although anywhere the Millard Rural Fire District provides services you will see Omaha Fire arriving because they were contracted to provide the EMS coverage. *grumble*
