You are pretty close on the regs.
180 days establishes your residency. You can take the classes, then apply when the wait time is up. Unless you are military, then there is a waiver, but I am not sure about the terms.
Lincoln open carry... Back before the CHP was law I did it, but I was very discreet. Mostly in the car, gas station, etc.
Now that we have 5 years of legal concealed carry , I think the LEO's are more prepared for a man with a gun encounter, but since Lincoln's police dept. is a pretty antigun outfit I would still avoid any unnecessary contact.
Be advised that Lincoln also has some ordinances that ban possession of firearms by certain misdemeanor offenders.
