Omaha Handgun Registration Denial?

This is most definitely true. Last gun I registered (there's only 2 of them, and I couldn't remember procedure from the first one). Had to go at 11 at night, don't remember reason why, just remember if I didn't do it at 11, it would be a long time before I could register it.
Put the gun in the trunk of my car, went down there. Felt a little anxious about bringing an unloaded, cased gun into police headquarters, so I called, asked if they needed the gun. Guy on the phone says no. Walked in, talked to the counter guy, essentially got called ignorant because I didn't bring the gun in. Informed him I had literally just called before getting out of my car to walk in and been told I didn't need to bring it in. Thankfully, one of the other three guys behind the counter kind of sheepishly raised his hand and said he told me that.
Walked out, got the gun, came in, and proceeded to get grilled about why I was in there at 11 at night to register it. My smart ass response was something like "well, because I can."
Definitely wasn't a positive experience.

Whenever I've been asked "Why do you want to own this gun?", my response is always:
BECAUSE I WISH TO.

I had to register my first pistol, a 1911 in 1973 , and that was the last one,

Perzackly and Precisely One of the Reasons Why I Register Handguns w/OPD, even though holding NE CHP:
Registration provides Irrefuteable Official Proof of Ownership, Available by Immediate Electronic Inquiry to LEOs.
And you can't lose it. In fact, you can't hardly ever get rid of it.

That reminds me. I've been looking for an answer on this for a couple of years. If you've registered and moved are you supposed to re-register a concealable firearm with the city of Omaha?
I called downtown on two different occasions and got two different answers. Does anyone know? It's been awhile since I read back through the municode, but the language seemed a bit ambiguous so I called trying to get clarification.
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I found the answer to my question: https://library.municode.com/ne/omaha/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIIMUCO_CH20OF_ARTVIIWE_DIV2FIRE_S20-257RE
--- Quote ---Sec. 20-257. - Revocation.
A firearm registration may be revoked when:
(a) The applicant or registrant fails to hold all of the qualifications set forth in section 20-253 of the Omaha Municipal Code; or (b) The information furnished on the application for a firearm registration was false or misleading or no longer continues to be true.

Lame...say someone has 10 handguns and moves, that's $150. Might as well get the CCW permit and thumb one's nose at Omaha.

That's why I have some firearms that are registered with Omaha. Then I have others which were private sale and reside somewhere else and will never set foot in the city.
depserv:
If a gun is transferred to a new owner through an Omaha dealer, does that dealer register the gun with the city, and does that meet the requirement that a gun in the possession of a non-permit holder be registered with the city, or must the gun be literally brought into the police station?
