Maybe I should move to Florida. Except hurricanes cant be good for guns.

As a recent CA transplant, the NE system is pretty good. Every purchase in CA, gun shop or private party, long gun or handgun, has a DOJ check and 10 (really 11) day waiting period. I don't like the $5 purchase permit on principle, but it's great to be able to a) verify a private party isn't prohibited and b) sell a gun directly without FFL fees/waiting periods. (And I left before background checks for ammunition became law!)

That said, Omaha's restrictions are a bit onerous (or impossible?), but that's why I have a CHP.

StuartJ:
When I picked up my revolver from Thunder Alley last week I had to show my drivers license, my permit and fill out a form answering the same questions I had to answer to get the permit. Seems a silly wast of time to me. Both times. I don't think a convicted felon, a wanted suspect, a mentally ill person or an illegal alien are gonna go to the sheriff's office and answer these questions truthfully. Nor are they going to buy guns in a gun shop. They're going to get them wherever the black market is in Lincoln. Don't know. Don't want to.

And I've seen the videos on how the "gun show loophole" doesn't actually exist. They run background checks.

Anyway glad I got my permit before the quintupling of the fee.

StuartJ:
They call it a handgun permit online, but the permit itself actually reads: "FIREARM PURCHASE CERTIFICATE". The first time I saw that I wondered if they planned on making it required for all gun purchases. I still think they would like too.
