Have you considered living just outside of Omaha? Sarpy County, Washington County, or one of the small town in Douglas County. This is a viable way to avoid the repressive taxation and gestapo type gun rules. You could save enough in wheel taxes to pay for your CHP in a couple of years.
Just sayin, Greg58

Husker_Fan:
A couple of things. Others are right that you don't need to register with a CHP. However, if you did have to register, the guns must be taken in person to OPD headquarters downtown. They limit you to 2 or 3 per visit. A rather ridiculous policy. Years ago, I had to take a new gun I bought out of town to the OPD to register. Another guy was registering a 3rd gen S&W that OPD confiscated because he had a firearms related infraction on his record (discharge in the city when he was younger). Ironically, the sheriff had issued him a purchase certificate.

Possession is what matters with the registration, not purchase. If you buy a gun outside Omaha and want to possess it in Omaha, you still have to register it. If you buy from an FFL in Omaha, they will give you a registration card to take to OPD. If you buy it outside of Omaha or in a private sale, you have to take the gun to OPD.

Also, I'm not sure where the FFL comes into play. If you own the guns and they are located elsewhere, I believe you can ship them to yourself at your new address in Nebraska. You can also bring them yourself when you move.

SemperFiGuy:
Here's an Interesting Feature of the Omaha Handgun Registration Process:

If you do register a handgun in Omaha,  it stays on your OPD record until you sell it and the new owner then takes it in to re-register the gun.

So--if you should sell the gun to someone outside Omaha, or if the new Omaha owner does not register the gun, the list of handguns connected with you grows and grows and grows.    Until it appears that you have what the Omaha World Herald would call an "arsenal".

You can ask OPD to take the sold/transferred handgun off your list.

But--------They won't.

i already am in Nebraska just not a official resident, and a few of the hand guns are registered to my father. also a few are registered as "assault weapons" and require him alone to go with them along with his paper work to a "assault weapon licensed" ffl to send them out of state to me. such as the mac 10, tec 9, colt AR15, and so on which are banned by make and model. i am still not sure if what i have to do to take the handguns out of state since they are registered to my father. the longguns that are not registered AWs i could take today and drive them out of state the rest im not sure of the legality behind them as far as CA is concerned.

time isn't much of an issue i can do this at anytime. i was mostly wondering as to buy a fire arm for personal protection until i get around to getting the rest of my collection out here.

to answer the question of why i don't live out side of omaha, i have looked at that to some extent. we are looking for decent places to live with our son and for the new one on the way, along with needing to be near the family and work, as she can only drive so far being so pregnant, along with the snow that is coming.

The cleanest solution for you is to wait out the six months of Nebraska residency until you qualify for a CHP and then get one. (Even if she isn't very interested, your wife should get one, too.) Without a CHP:

* It isn't practical to carry routinely.
* You have to register with the OPD any handgun you bring inside the Omaha city limits.
* You must obtain a handgun transfer permit from the local sheriff before you buy a gun including from a private person. This doesn't apply to any guns you get from a close relative such as your father.These issues go away if you have a CHP.

Don't give up on finding decent, affordable housing outside the Omaha city limits. Possibilities are:

* Cities of Ralston, La Vista, Papillion, Bellevue and Bennington. There are other good choices a bit farther out.
* Unincorporated parts of Douglas, Sarpy and Washington counties.
* Pottawatomie county in Iowa including Council Bluffs. (Iowa carry permit is honored by Nebraska.)Property taxes will be lowest in unincorporated parts of the counties.
