Nebraska CHP renewal information

How is having 93 county governments ignoring the law better than 1?

+1 Dan.....they can't even keep all the county roads open in Saunders County due to the bridges being in disrepair. They're certainly not going to have the bones to fund employees for CHPs.

The hope would be that the sheriffs would have an easier time complying with the time set forth in the law than the NSP is having right now since they wouldn't have to deal with as many applications. Although I admit there would be potential for issues in the more populous counties such as Douglas, Lancaster, and Sarpy since those three would probably be dealing with the bulk of the permits.
Well and I suppose that these problems with NSP just gives us another pointer for down the road when we will argue for constitutional carry ;-)

Douglas Co. already has 'issues' just dealing with Permit To Purchase renewals. It may have just been the clerk behind the window when I went to renew but it took 20 minutes for a 5 minute process. When she ran the background check, she did not use my full legal name, she punched in 'initial' - 'initial' - 'last name' and got a 10 page printout which we had to go through with 20 plus names and me explaining why "I" was not that person on her sheet. I mean, come on !! A 6'2" Black male, 290#, in his late 20's..... On a good day, I'm 5'7" 180# and WHITE !!

Here’s a CHP RENEWAL TWIST I haven’t seen anyone mention in this post. And hopefully, this situation is bogus.
The 4 month renewal window opened up for my CHP renewal on 5/24/12. On 5/29/12 I went to the NE State Patrol Troop “A” HQ in Omaha and turned in all the required notarized paperwork, check the RENEWAL box, got a new photo taken, new fingerprints taken, showed them my old renewable CHP permit, they made a copy of my driver’s license, etc., covered all the bases like a good boy.
On Friday 6/1/12, received a letter from the NSP saying, “It has been determined that your Concealed Handgun Permit Application is incomplete.” To which I thought, there must be some airhead who doesn’t have a clue trying to process my CHP RENEWAL application. Which still may be true!!!
What the NSP letter requested was that I PROVE I’ve been a NE resident for the past 180 days. That just blew my mind having been a NE resident my entire life and that request just floored me. They wanted "what" on an already established RENEWAL for CHP permit?
Anyway, the NSP letter went on to state that, “What I needed to furnish the NSP to complete my CHP application was,”
1. The original letter they sent to me saying the application was incomplete.
2. I needed to also enclose Proof of 180 day Nebraska residency by furnishing either (a Utility bill OR Paystub, OR mortgage/bank statement dating back more than 180 days.)
I had the option to either mail it in to the NSP in Lincoln, or to again go to the NSP HQ in Omaha.
So, being a nice guy and being very pleasant about the whole situation, today, 6/4/12, I made copies of my utility bills that were over six months old. Then I made copies of both the NSP letter and the utility bill, so I had a set of required paperwork for myself.
When I gave the girls in the NSP Troop "A" HQ Omaha office the required information I had them physically SIGN MY COPIES just in case the documentation would be needed somewhere down the line for future proof they did have all the required RENEWAL information.
When thinking about the situation, I asked the girls in the office WHY they didn’t ask me for proof of residency when I turned in my RENEWAL application. They told me that every once in a while the NSP randomly issues letters like the one I received (maybe they were just covering for someone). The 180 day requirement should only be on original new CHP applications IMO.
This is worth a thought, A driver’s license DOES NOT prove you have been living in NE for the last 180 days. Your CHP permit DOES NOT prove you have been living in NE for the last 180 days. I also told them to insure, that if RENEWAL applicants have to prove a they have been a resident for the past 180 days on a renewal application, they needed to start asking people for that information WHEN they apply for the RENEWAL, so the NSP wouldn’t have to write these bogus letters and waste my time and theirs.
I also asked them how long it would take for me to receive my CHP renewal. They told me it would probably be around 60 days, as that is why the NSP has a four month window established for renewals. I just said thank you and went on my way, before I said something I might regret. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to receive my CHP renewal, and I will update this post when I receive my renewal.
