Omaha Handgun Registration Denial?

haven't bought in Omaha, but looked at Sol's a couple of times, thought I saw something I wanted, so talked with the guy behind the counter (so take this with a huge grain of salt, I'm trying to remember a conversation with someone from about 10 years ago). What I remember being told was that they would take my money, give me a receipt with the info on it, which I would then take to headquarters to register the weapon with. They would give me the gun when I returned with the magical piece of paper issued by Omaha.
Part of the reason that I've never bought a gun inside Omaha city limits through a dealer. Didn't feel like making multiple trips to the store to get something I had bought.
RLMoeller:
What Hilowe relayed is correct. To expand, if you bought the gun from a dealer inside Omaha city limits, you must take the little paper form from the dealer to OPD to register and then return to the dealer to pick up the handgun after registering it. If you purchase from a dealer outside of Omaha city limits, they will not accept that form and you must take the handgun down to OPD headquarters to register it. I know first hand they will not accept that form from a dealer outside of Omaha.

Ain't life grand in Nebraska? Good life? Not 2nd amendment wise. LB 68 isn't perfect, but we need to support it vigorously, Hint, Hint................... Might need more to show up to testify. or just sign in. We're going to need all the help we can get.

So just to be clear, I could transfer a handgun to a person through an Omaha dealer, and that dealer would give the person a receipt, and he could take that receipt to OPD and not have to bring the handgun in to get it registered; is this correct?
I'l be happy to testify on LB 68 when the time comes. I had planned on just moving to another state, but decided to stay here because I have family here. But I will be moving out of Omaha.
SemperFiGuy:
You are correct:
The transferee would first take the bill of sale/transfer paperwork w/handgun info on it:
Manufacturer
Model
Caliber
Serial Number
Finish/Color
Barrel Length
to the Omaha Police Department, 15th and Howard Streets. Parking in front and across street; some is metered. Take quarters. Don't park in Police or Press parking spots.
Handgun must be unloaded (no ammo anywhere) and in a carrying case that is not concealable, according to the OPD website instructions. Although they do typically accept standard handgun rugs and plastic cases. Better to leave magazines home; clearing process is easier.
Go in front door and up to window. The guys behind the glass will instruct you from that point.
You'll have a short form to fill out and sign w/typical questions. Cost is $15/gun, unless you show CHP; then it's free. Take cash. Can register up to three (3) guns per visit, No More. Guns will be handed over to OPD Clerk through bottom part of glass window. Small guns fit better.
Take your driver's license and NE State Issued Blue Firearms (Handgun) Purchase Permit for ID. Or CHP if you want free registration.
You will receive a signed, printed cardboard tab registration receipt, about 1-1/2" X 5". GUESS WOT.....! That tab receipt is supposed to be with the handgun at all times, carried in your wallet.
The whole process is relatively painless, except for the sheer indignity of having to register a handgun that is "protected" by the 2nd Amendment. Some protection.
That's about it. Just did it yesterday.
