Firearm sale questions.
AAllen:
Yes, "shall" does mean "must" but you need to complete the discription of who it is, not just "any person" but "any person dealing in firearms" I do not believe it applies to a private seller getting rid of a firearm they do not need just FFL's. For further verification you would need to check with the city attorney or police, the State Patrol would not be able to be much help with a city ordinance like this.
JimP:
IMHO, the Powers That Be in Lincoln seem to be operating on the false premise that if they just pass ONE MORE law, then that will solve whatever problem they are having at the moment...... they just can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that criminals, by definition, don't care what the law says, and the only people affected by this stuff are those not inclined to do bad things in the first place........
........ Lincoln is that place in Nebraska where folk still believe in that "Better Living Through Government" tripe.........
OnTheFly:
That is the way I read 9.36.030. It seems to refer to a dealer/FFL.

Sorry...thought that was understood when I said I am from Lincoln. Yes, it was in Lincoln that I took delivery of my PX4.
So are you saying the Lincoln ordinance 9.36.030 specifies "Any person" (as highlighted by you) "shall...", but yet you are not required to register it? Is "shall" synonymous with "should", so it is not "required" as in "must"?

Just because one is from Lincoln,I would not assume that they only transact business in Lincoln.
And a savvy seller that wants to make sure that the sale doesn't require a registration responds by transferring the handgun outside of Lincoln's jurisdiction.
OnTheFly:
What can I say? I'm young (in the world of firearms) and did not understand the rules of the game. The next time I make a handgun purchase I will be a bit more savvy. That is another reason for asking this question.
The initial reason was to find out if a handgun sale between individuals (non-FFLs) would have to be recorded in any way. That is to say, if the gubment came to the door and said "we want all your guns", could they have been sold without a record?
