Oops! Now I see it; the registration may have been denied because of the previous conviction of carrying concealed (knife).

OPD registration denial grounds:
? Not have any previous convictions for carrying concealed weapons....

Still, they apparently issued registration for the .40 he was carrying.

It does sound like "regulating ownership", doesn't it?

We have a Winner! As long as he doesn't take it into Omaha, he doesn't have to register it.

Sounds to me like he should vote with his feet.  Omaha nannyists are why I don't live in Douglas County.

Ditto. (Though it was Growmaha's rapacious annexation policy and never sated appetite for tax revenues that caused me to move to rural Cass county in 1997 instead of Elkhorn......  Avoided a whole lot of nasty power grabs, including the "Learning Community BS!)

Ok, I think Omaha has now gone way too far with their whole registration crap! They are regulating ownership and denying one to own a firearm because of a misdemeanor charge?!!!! This is a violation of the 2nd Amendment. The Supreme Court has already ruled that only felonies can be used to take away this constitutional right! Its time the legislature bans registration of firearms in this state and that they pass full pre-emption of ALL firearms laws. I've had enough of Omaha's shenanigans!

Prosecutor Waits For Video Before Walgreens Decision
Customer Who Killed Would-Be Robber May Be Charged

POSTED: 11:49 am CDT May 3, 2010
UPDATED: 11:59 am CDT May 3, 2010

OMAHA, Neb. --
The city prosecutor said he's waiting to see surveillance video before deciding whether to charge a customer who opened fire inside a Walgreens, killing a would-be armed robber.

Marty Conboy said he hopes to make a decision by Wednesday in the case of James McCullough.

Police said McCullough shot and killed Marquail Thomas last week at the store near 61st Street and Northwest Radial Highway.

Conboy said the video will help show whether McCullough's weapon was completely concealed. McCullough had a permit to carry a weapon, but under state law, the weapon isn't supposed to be concealed.

Thomas' weapon, a sawed-off shotgun, turned out to be unloaded.

Omaha's registration is may-issue, and subject to all the bias abuses of may-issue systems everywhere.  If you bring a gun you already own to OPD headquarters to register and they decide they don't like you, they keep your gun.

On a somewhat better note, I just got my Front Sight members' newsletter today, and they have a free lifetime membership waiting for Mr. McCullough.

No Charges For Walgreens Shooter

POSTED: 2:12 pm CDT May 4, 2010
UPDATED: 2:31 pm CDT May 4, 2010

OMAHA, Neb. --
The customer who killed a would-be robber inside an Omaha Walgreens will not be charged, according to the city prosecutor.

Marty Conboy made his decision Tuesday just after 2 p.m., saying James McCullough's weapon was not completely concealed during the incident.

McCullough opened fire on 18-year-old Marquail Thomas after police said Thomas barged into the store with a sawed-off shotgun and demanded money.

McCullough had a registered weapon but no permit to carry it concealed.

Conboy said police did the right thing by ticketing him and prosecutors acted prudently to review all available evidence before making a decision.

Wow, Conboy is getting mellow in his old age! Probably the first time he has done anything right.
