Handgun Sales In Omaha

(1/3) > >>

heartlandjon:
It's been over 10 years since I've had to think about this, and evidently a lot has changed in those 10 years.  I've researched this, and can't find a definitive answer.

I live in Omaha, am not a dealer, and want to sell 2 handguns.  Near as I can tell, I need to document that I checked the handgun permit, check ID for state residency, and execute a bill of sale.  Do I also need to jump through the police registration hoop as a private seller?

heartlandjon:
From the lack of response can I deduce it's a convoluted process?   I suppose the safest thing would be to sell them to a pawn shop, but I'll only get a fraction of what they're worth.

Give it some time guy, its the weekend and there is a holiday.  Someone who knows more about this than I will take it up.

The easiest way to do it would be to create a classified ad here on the forum. (Whatcha selling?  ;D )
As far as the actual sale goes(if face-to-face), here is what is required by the state of Nebraska:
1) Buyer must be 21 to purchase a handgun
2) Buyer must have(and show) a Nebraska Firearm Purchase Permit issued to them by their county sheriff, with matching state ID card/Driver License.
3) If the buyer is not a resident of Nebraska, the handgun will need to be transferred by a FFL holder in the buyer's home state.
  
Many people also will write up a bill of sale to record the numbers on the above documents and the gun's serial number, but many do not.  That is a personal choice and not required by law.

If the buyer resides withing the city limits of Omaha, they would then(after the purchase) need to take the handgun to the OPD headquarters in downtown Omaha to register that handgun with the city, after paying a $10 tax fee.  
If they do not live in Omaha, there is no need to register the handgun.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!   :)

Spot on Farmer...I would recommend a bill of sale with serial number as a minimum though.  Mark
