Quote from RLM5150:

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

This is correct, both are forms of permission to purchase a handgun.  When a call is made to FBI NICS (thanks, it was late last night) the operator asks if the firearm being transferred is a long gun or a handgun.  If you state "Handgun" the NICS operator will not proceed with the check since the state of residence of the purchaser stated by the dealer earlier in the NICS call is "Nebraska" and a Handgun Purchase Certificate is needed in order to transfer in Nebraska.  The HPC serves as the background check.  Until approved by the ATF, a CHP does not. 

Please e-mail me directly and we can compare ATF sources.

Well that could be the difference.    I don't use the phone, I do it all online with e-NICS.

Interesting.  I will be in touch.

Thanks

I haven't looked at AR stuff at Scheel's Omaha (other than ammo) for awhile, but I'm pretty sure they had collapsible stocks in the glass case near the rifle cases with the magazines and flashlight mounts and such.

In all honesty, Scheel's Omaha has been pretty good to me.  They will keep getting my business.

After going to both the Omaha and Lincoln Scheels in the past week I'm thinking the salesman must have been full of it.  Both stores had AR's with folding stocks, in fact the Lincoln one had a JP rifle with a Magpul PRS stock.  Most of their AR's are DPMS but it's pretty cool that they're carrying some higher end stuff.

As some of you probably know, I was banned from the forum some time ago.  Apparently, the ban has expired.  I'm not posting here to argue with anyone or create unnecessary conflict.  I wouldn't be here at all but for the fact that NFOA still sends me email alerts.  I was curious about the legislation that NFOA is supporting regarding the so called castle doctrine.  It was unclear to me in the letter posted by Mr. Allen, apparently from the Omaha World Herald, whether the legislation being supported included the right to defend oneself anywhere one has a legal right to be, or exclusively in ones' own home.

As for Lincoln law, the topic of this thread, I don't have documentation at hand.  However, I seem to recall after doing some research in the past that the special misdemeanor crimes that prohibit possession of a firearm in Lincoln and preclude one from getting a permit to purchase will not be enforced against those with a concealed handgun permit.  On an additional note, I believe possession includes ownership, not simply have the firearm on or near you at any given time.  Therefore, taking guns to your father's house, or some other friend or relative, would not prevent prosectution for this offense unless the place of storage was outside the city limits.  Just an FYI for anyone caught in this situation.
Gun related issues are, by nature, deadly serious.  Still, you have to maintain a sense of humor about them.

They never used to sell any evil firearms, then Cabelas came to town selling anything.

Now that Cabelas is under new corporate style management don't expect gun counter men who know anything.

If you talking about Jack Prewitt, he's about as classy as a person can be, I once saw him draw himself the winning ticket for a 1500 dollar Colt single action, he was president of the club then, and threw it in the fire and said draw again...

Bought a Walter P22 today at Cabelas, they have changed their policy somewhat from the past with no gripes from me, they took my CCW permit, but did do a NIC check on me...  Now if Scheels would get smart and do the same thing...
