Yes...good point barmandr. I always forget about the liberal island we call Omaha.

Omaha question, the city expects "concealable" firearms that may only be passing through to also be registered. There is of course the Federal exemption for interstate travel as long as all the required steps are taken (unloaded in locked case separate from ammo in trunk or not accessible to driver or passengers etc.). Unfortunately if you are driving from say Blair to Bellevue you are not in interstate travel because that only protects people moving from one state to another...
The city has ticketed people who have been stopped on the road for various driving offenses that have had firearms in their vehicles for the registration violation. Does not happen often and there is the officer discretion thing going here but if he is not happy with your attitude or something else is going on you could get a ticket for failure to register while driving down the road.
Obviously the CHP exempts you through the preemption clause in state law for those with CHP and the exemption in the City ordinance.
We really need LB 289 passed so everyone is safe.

Person A gets stopped for a taillight being out. Officers notices a gun case laying on the backseat and asks Person A about case. Person A tells officer they have a handgun in said case, gong to range etc. Officer asks to take control of firearm "for his safety", see firearm cause he is gun nut, or possibly "is that registered". Officer runs serial # to determine if stolen and check registration, if not registered along with ticket for tail light being out Person A get ticket for failing to register and their firearm is held/destroyed by the police.
Of course that does not mention the people that lay the gun on the dash, openly on the seat beside them and are now having issues with Omaha's open carry permit on top of there not being registration.

Seriously guys, Im all for training, but if you can point your weapon in the right direction, you can pass the live fire portion of Nebraska CCW testing. Get your ccw card, then you can carry in omaha with no worries and get all the range time you want.
