Permit transition from another state without gaps

Hey all, getting prepared to move to NE soon.

I am hoping I can have as little of a gap in my concealed carry permit as possible.

A few things I have come up with so far:

1. Take a vacation to NE and take the training course in advance of moving (I'm in NE a lot, this will be no problem)
2. Have all other paperwork in order to apply on the day I move

My problem is, as soon as I get a NE driver's license (likely my first stop in applying), my current permit is invalidated by my state's laws.  Hopefully, this will still get me the exemption from the 180 days waiting period.

Do I need to pick up a non-resident permit that is recognized in NE to fill the gap?  I know Nebraska says that you must have a NE permit if you are a resident of NE, but it also says that you must live in NE for 180 days to be considered a resident.  So the Utah permit could fill the gap since they only require having a license from your own state when you apply (which I do currently) and it doesn't appear to be invalidated if you move.

Has anyone done this recently?  Any tips?

For an informed answer to this inquiry, you might consider directly contacting the Nebraska State Patrol:

Link has always provided timely and clear responses to concealed handgun permit questions in the past.   The response has always been from a staff attorney employed by the NSP.

FWIW,

The only exception to the 180 day residency rule is if you are active military and stationed here.  I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you will be without a conceal carry permit for at least 7 months.  Do not waste your time and money on a non resident permit, as you are changing residency and it will not work.  Now for the good news, Nebraska is an open carry state and you can legally open carry everywhere but Omaha and Blair at this time.

Did that change recently?  The information I have read is that you can skip the 180-day wait if you have a valid carry permit that is recognized in NE.  I already have one in my current state, so I am hoping it will allow me to skip the wait to apply.
