Purchasing a handgun in omaha
SemperFiGuy:
The Firearms Purchase Permit (Blue Card) will allow you to purchase a handgun fairly quickly. In Douglas County (Omaha) it is issued while you wait. Takes maybe 20-30 minutes, maximum.
The NE CHP can take considerably longer. First, find a class. Next, wait until the class date rolls around. Then take the class. Then fill out the application with all the supporting documents and take them to your local NE State Patrol Troop. Get fingerprinted, photographed, and pay $100 fee. Then go home and wait 4-6 weeks or so, depending on the backlog at the NSP CID office in Lincoln. Then go check the mailbox, take out the brown envelope, pocket your CHP. Could be awhile before you get to exercise your right to purchase a firearm.
OTOH, You can obtain your Blue Card from your county sheriff much more quickly. Perhaps as a walk-in. Nebraska law allows the sheriff up to 3-4 days (can't recall exactly, but close enough) for processing if it happens that they don't do walk-ins.
Whatever you do, don't pack concealed until the CHP is in your possession.

I believe in Sarpy county the Handgun Purchase Permit is taking about a week to get because they only take them on certain days and then you have the weekend to deal with. It's the easiest process and you can get your CCP after you have the weapon.
My $.02 is to get your gun from SilencerHQ since you are right there and they are great people to deal with. Saves you fuel and aggravation of standing in line waiting for your number to be called at Cabela's. I would say it keeps the money in the state, but at this point Cabela's is still a Nebraska company. :)

Another nearby store for you is DE Guns in Lincoln (deguns.net). They have a retail store in Lincoln and offer nationwide online sales, like Buds Gun Shop. They are also an NFOA advertiser, as can be readily seen over at the right side of the screen>>>>>>>>
Their prices, especially their Deal of the Day https://www.deguns.net/dealoftheday.asp, are about as rock-bottom as it gets. Plus you can go into their local retail store, speak with a sales clerk, and examine the handgun.
I have heard that their store can often be very busy, but if a store is especially busy, it usually has something special to offer to its customers.
So with SilencerHQ and DE Guns right in your own neighborhood, maybe you can be spared the trip up I-80 and back.
FWIW

Agreed DE is a good choice as well, was just there the other day. It was busy, almost couldn't get your hand in your own pocket.

That's better than someone else trying to get their hand in your pocket. ;)
