I don't know for certain the answer to the first part of this, but the second is your CCW is accepted and you do not need to register your firearms.

Residency within the city limits of Omaha does have bearing on whether or not you have to register a concealable weapon.  It is not, however, the only fact that has bearing.  You're correct, Andy, that the location of the handgun also factors in.

My point, that I think you were cautioning about, was that he does not meet the "residency test".  You may notice that I suggested that there are other "tests" that may require him to register.

While this is not legal advice and there may be other facts not in evidence ... it appears that you do not meet the letter of the Nebraska residency portion of the statute, as defined by the statute.  Therefore, Federal law prevents you from taking possession of a handgun in the state of Nebraska.

This may not clear up any more confusion on the second part of your question, but you have a Utah CC permit.  Nebraska offers reciprocity to Utah permit holders.  That reciprocity is a part of "compliance with the Nebraska Concealed Handgun Permit Act" so you are covered under the City of Omaha ordinance that exempts concealed carry permit holders from registration (non-legal opinion).

Whether my opinion is correct or not, you might want to prepare yourself for some hassle since this is all as clear as mud.

My best advice:  Seek a professional legal opinion and retain an attorney.  James Martin Davis comes to mind.

Thanks for your help and advice, sounds like i can go down to the omaha sheriffs office and get a purchase permit for 5 dollars since i have an omaha address and going to school full time here.  My Utah CCW overrules the omaha rules of registering my guns, I can still conceal carry with my Utah CCW until i become a legal resident of Nebraska buy paying taxes or voting.  Tim dunning is very helpful if you ever have any question, i would recommend him.
