Legal Opinion Says Omaha Breaking Gun Law
Wymore Wrangler:
Or the rest of the State of Nebraska law enforcement officers!!!
Wilson:
Question: How do you track a stolen gun? If they know it's mine, they know it's stolen! If I report it stolen, they can be on the lookout for it.
If someone steals my gun in North Carolina and uses it to commit a crime, I bet the NC police will track it back to me...they will discover that I reported it stolen to cover my butt. I think they use this new fangled thing called...HELLO... the internet. ::)
A little common sense goes a long way...most places. ???
We are making progress though and for that I am thrilled! ;D

It would be detrimental to our efforts in getting illegal guns off the streets,? said Lt. Darci Tierney, a spokeswoman for the Omaha Police Department.
Maybe they should approach Douglas County Sheriff's office, or LaVista Police, or Sarpy County Sheriff's office, or . . . . and ask how they do it . . . without registration.

I had a very similar though this morning when I read this story and fired off a letter to the editor. Perhaps OPD should seek training on how to track stolen guns from all the other Law Enforcement agencies in the state...

When I made my one and only firearm purchase here in Lincoln I'm pretty sure the FFL recorded the serial number. So doesn't Omaha do the same?

The city has nothing to do with the FFL recording the serial number on the 4473 form. That is done on all transfers through a FFL, no matter where it happens... gun show, gun store, kitchen table, etc. That dealer keeps the 4473 form for his records, they don't go the the city, county, state, or federal govt., unless the FFL gets investigated by one of those entities.
