Policista:

Looks like both are being charged for violating the purchase certificate law.

It's a good reminder for anyone who sells a handgun to a private party that you should ask to see a current purchase certificate and ID.

Ah, glad you guys were talking about this.  I was reading
http://www.omaha.com/article/20120518/NEWS97/705189901#stacey-lawyer-gun-charge-unprecedented
And saw the line "Lawry had no certificate to possess a handgun, Polikov said, and Stacey knew it".   Couldn't figure out what they were talking about.   Didn't realize that the handgun purchase certificate would ever apply to loaning a gun out.

seems like a witch hunt to me.  If Stacey is convicted will he not then be prohibited from Owning a handgun? or carrying for work.
