StuartJ:
Isn't 21 to own a handgun?

RLMoeller:
To purchase is 21.  To own is 18.    Makes a lot of sense doesn't it?

Another Omaha Open Carry option is the Handgun Identification Card [HIC].   To obtain one, basically an applicant takes a course which is pretty much identical w/the Nebraska Concealed Handgun Permit class.   So--as implied above, a person might as well go for the CHP class first and skip the HIC.   But the HIC is another option for Open Carry in Omaha.   Many security organizations, armored car companies, and banks send their personnel to the HIC classes so that these employees may openly pack heat in the course of their workday.

And why does Omaha call it the Handgun Identification Card instead of the Open Carry Permit???  Believe me, the card Does Not identify a handgun in any way whatsoever.   I taught the HIC classes at the National Safety Council - Nebraska for several years and asked Everyone there who might be in a position to know.

And.........of course.............No One Ever Knew.   Just another one of those Weird Handgun Thingies.

FWIW,
