The still have a silhouette cardboard backer, or something like that, i was in there this week looking at targets, but none of the paper silhouettes anymore... i think they only have that one because it is in a package and is more expensive LOL

I was told by a Lincoln dealer they don't sell AR's w/collapsible stocks because they only sell certain models and get better pricing by purchasing in bulk, thus less options. Why not, then they can sell you one.
Locked n Loaded:
The Nebraska Concealed Handgun Permit has not yet been approved by the BATFE as an exemption to a NICS background check, only the Handgun/Firearm Puchase Certificate has been approved. So if a dealer attempts to call in a NICS background check for an individual wishing to purchase a handgun, the ATF will not proceed with the check since a NE Handgun/Firearm purchase certificate is required in order for that individual to complete the purchase. Therefore, an individual with a valid CHP who does not also possess a valid FPC cannot legally purchase a handgun from Scheels or any other FFL gun dealer until the BATFE approves the NE CHP as an exemption to a NICS check.

You are correct with this part of your post. We are still waiting for the ATF to review and accept the CHP.

Where did you get this information? The ATF does not do the check, the NICS check is an FBI service. Which credentials were presented by the customer is documention on the ATF Form 4473 and kept on file by the dealer. That information is not provided as part of the NICS check.
Both the CHP and the Nebraska FPC are valid forms of "permission" by the State of Nebraska to purchase a handgun, as granted by the State of Nebraska. Having "permission" from the State of Nebraska and having passed a background check are separate.

According to the ATF agent I work with, this is incorrect. A person with a CHP has the permission from the State but until the BATFE approves the CHP as an exemption to a NICS check the dealer must perform a NICS check.
The confusing this about this is that there are at least three functions these certificates/permits serve. First is "permission" from the State of Nebraska for you to purchase a handgun. Second is the NICS check requirement (or exemption of). Third is the Omaha registration aspect. Been covered here before and I won't get into that aspect. My shop is in LaVista so my business is not involved in the Omaha registration mess.
If you have sources for your statement, please provide them. I need to know about any conflicting information from what I have been provided by my ATF agent. If Scheels, or any other dealer, makes a decision to not accept the CHP permit that is their choice and not a legal restriction.

I bought a handgun on the 17th from a dealer in Omaha. They told me no HPP required with a CHP, but they would have to do a NICS check. If you have both documents you skip the check and the registration with the city. Once BATFE approves the CHP as a waiver for the NICS check, you can skip both with a CHP.
I'm not going to hold it against any dealer in Omaha who hadn't changed policies the second the law went into effect. I think they are all on the same page now.
