Air Guns in Lincoln
Ram Ringer:
Thanks for the replies. I am intimately familiar with the Lincoln ordinance that has been referred to. THere is a section in there that allows me to do my job. But I what I can't find is something in there about shipping to Lincoln. It appears to only be a hang up with Midway. I have tried several other online purchases (without actually buying), Cabelas being one of them, and none of them give me a red flag. I may have to call Midway USA and inquire about this. If I find anything I will pass it along.
Thanks

Midway will ship ammunition to Lincoln, or at least they used to, but I don't know what problem they have with air guns. I guess, technically, even the postman or UPS guy would be violating the law by simply carrying them to your door. While this may be a problem in trying to purchase from Midway (or others), it certainly doesn't stop Scheel's and other sportinggoods stores from selling them. I've never heard specifically of any case where these laws were enforced, either, though there may have been some. My guess is, like with many other laws, unless you cause some kind of a problem, or somehow draw a complaint from another citizen, the law will never be enforced.
I can say, that if one were to be shooting at birds, rabbits, squirrels, etc., within the city they would be cited if turned in by someone or if an officer were to witness it. The charge might likely be criminal mischief and could result in a $200 fine (perhaps more) plus court costs. At least it wouldn't be a firearm violation that would prevent you from possessing guns in town.
This is just another example of liberals who think government can somehow protect them from all the evils or accidents in life. I wish the University and government would move to Omaha so the conservatives here could live a sensible life once again. (Not that I wish any more bad laws for Omaha citizens, but why contaminate another town in Nebraska :)).

Guilty of shooting rabbits :blank:
Ram Ringer:
I called Midway and the lady looked up their shipping restrictions and said they cannot ship Black powder arms to Omaha, and cannot ship BP arms or air guns to Lincoln. But she did not no why. So lastly I called the City Attorneys office and was told to call LPD or the County Attorney office. The Mystery Continues.

Fortunately, I was never found guilty of anything, but I know someone who has. (I only shoot squirrels! :))
