registering a handgun

bczyz:
Is it a felony if you don't register a pistol in Omaha? What if you bought one awhile ago and haven't had time to get to the opd station to register the gun? Do I just tell them that or tell them Ijust bought the gun from a private seller? I do have a handgun purchase permit and may have bought the gun outside of the city limits.(cabelas)

I am not a lawyer, and do not give legal advice.  I hope this will help you find the answer to your questions.

From the Omaha municipal codes here(chapter 20, article VII): http://library5.municode.com/default-test/home.htm?infobase=10945&doc_action=whatsnew

AAllen:
Violations of City Ordinances are misdemeanors, if you want to register a firearm that you have not I would just take it in and if they ask tell them that even though I have owned the gun for a while I?m just bringing it into the city.  If the firearm was never in the city before you have not violated the law.
