Firearm Purchase Permit
« on: March 03, 2020, 08:52:52 PM »
I have a purchase permit.  I have since moved.  I tried to purchase a new pistol at cabelas, with my new DL (I needed a new one as it was expiring) and they stated that once you move, the permit becomes invalid.

As far as I can tell, the statutes do not state that it becomes invalid if you move.  I also cannot find much information about this.  Does anyone have any experience or knowledge along these lines?

Did you move to another County? I really don't have an answer for you but am sure someone will know more.
If you get a CHP, you no longer need a handgun purchase permit.

I moved to another county 5 years ago, and had to get my license and conceal carry switched over to the new address within 60 days.  It's a safe bet that the same goes with the permit.  What does the State Police web site say?

I looked at the sheriff's website, along with other sheriff's websites and they all dau basically the same thing, but it it's very vague with nothing specifically on point.

It only says that the permit becomes invalid in the sheriff says so or it expires after 3 years.

I'm guessing that the "place of residence" reference in the statute would require a person to obtain a new certificate if they moved.  Just a guess on my part though.

Nebraska Revised Statute 69-2404: Any person desiring to purchase, lease, rent, or receive transfer of a handgun shall apply with the chief of police or sheriff of the applicant's place of residence for a certificate.

While the purchase permit is still valid Cabela's requires it to have an address that matches your Drivers License and the address you put on the form. There are some other dealers that also do that, take the CHP requirement to include the purchase certificate and they can do that.
