180 day waiting period for CCW?

(1/4) > >>

str8shooter:
Hello All!

I moved to Nebraska (Omaha) from Los Angeles a few months ago. After 2 months staying with family here, got my own place and NE drivers license. Recently took/passed the concealed carry class, bought a new handgun for CC....and noticed on the form to apply that it states new NE residents must wait 180 days to even apply :o . Having been here 2 months prior to any bills/lease/ID being issued. When does my 180 days actually start?

Also any out of state permits that I may be able to apply for here that have reciprocity in NE.
Thanks!

Easiest way is to go by driver's license issue date, at least that's what I did.

Utah's permit is a common and easy one to get here, but only because it gains you Minnesota. However, I've heard Minnesota just dropped support for Utah's permit. I'm not sure if there are any other out-of-state permits which are worth anything to a Nebraska resident.

If I understand it right, you have to have a CHP from Nebraska first. So you are out of luck with Utah as Nebraska recognizes it.

What Must Accompany the Application?

•A Photocopy of your Driver License

•Photograph. One recent color photograph of passport quality. *Photos may be taken at the Bureau of Criminal Identification for a $15 fee.

•Non-resident proof of permit. If you reside in a state that recognizes the validity of the Utah CFP or has reciprocity with Utah, you must obtain a CFP or CCW from your home state and submit a copy of it with your application for a Utah permit. For a list of reciprocal states click here. You are considered a resident of whichever state issued your ID. If your state does not recognize the Utah permit this does not apply.

•Fingerprint Card. One fingerprint card. Must be filled out completely. Writing and prints must be legible. Fingerprint should be taken by a trained fingerprint technician. Fingerprint cards that are not legible will be returned to the applicant and will cause a delay in processing the application.

*Fingerprint services are available from BCI or may be offered through your local law enforcement agency. There are private businesses that also offer this service. Check in your local phone directory. Photos and fingerprints may be obtained at the Bureau of Criminal Identification (3888 W 5400 S, Taylorsville, UT.) The cost is $15.00 for 1 photo and $15.00 for up to 3 fingerprint cards.
•Weapon Familiarity Certification. Applicants must complete a firearms familiarity course certified by BCI. No exceptions. The course must be completed before you apply for a permit. Please have your instructor complete the certification information on the application. View a list of (in-state) (out-of-state) certified instructors.

Dang, so it looks like I won't be eligible for 8 full months after moving here. Ouch! I wonder why they force new residents to wait so long. Anyone know?
