Omaha Registration

AAllen:
I know there are a lot of horror stories out there to do with Omaha's registration.  We need to know them to help us fight this ordinance.  If you have a story please post it here, if you know of someone elses story post it but let us know it is someone you know.  If you heard something through the grapevine you can tell us those stories as well just let us know you do not know who it happened too.

We need these stories to use in this fight.

Heres one for you Andy. I went to register one of mine and was told I couldnt due to something on my record. This is after having gotten my purchase permit and also registering a couple of others within a few months. They threatened to keep my hangun. After talking with them a little they finally  did the registration. I questioned them about why they wouldnt but the county gave me the purchase permit and was told they do a deeper background check(NICS). I left there and went to the county and was told they did the same check.The entry on my record is from back in 2000 and is a "bad" entry. I have since gotten it straightened out and gotten my CCW. Now the city doesnt even question it even though it is still on there.(they made an additional entry that says no action or charges were ever taken. The funny part of all this is it was always the same lady giving me the hard time(this happened 2 or 3 times).

This is my post of the NE CCW page from back in '07:
http://ccwnebraska.yuku.com/topic/579
As a new resident of "West O" (formerly Elkhorn) and trying to stay in the confines of the law I went to register a pistol downtown today. If you have followed a past battle I had with them about not needing a purchase permit, I finally got confirmation from SGT McGee that it was not required if I had already purchased the pistol and was still in possession of it when I went to register it as the purchase permit it was bought under had expired. So after I hand her the gun she says she needs my ID and my purchase permit I inform her what SGT McGee had said and she comes back with a he's not working today and I'm the one in charge today! After a breif exchange of words I think that issue is resolved. Next the NICS is down so they can't register the firearm anyway and they inform me that until they can find out if I'm qualified to own a handgun they are placing the handgun in police property because the gun is not allowed to be in the city w/o being registered. You've got to be kidding me. NOPE. I ask for a reciept for the gun and she says they don't do that for confiscated guns. HELL NO. Another exchange of words come about. She says she'd write it down on a piece of paper for me, but I wasn't willing to accept that. After about half an hour waiting she finally comes out with a reciept, writes the serial # from the firearm and slams the gun back into the soft case against the counter and tells me to sign it. Supposedly they are going to give me a call when the NICS comes back up for me to complete the registration. I'm still unsure of whether they are going to require me to have the purchase permit but I do know that according to City ordinance I DO NOT NEED IT. I am going to file a formal complaint in this incident, hopefully it will get them on the same page.
Be careful when you go down to register a firearm, you might not come home with it I just hope I can get it back.....

dcjulie:

Mike M.:
