--- Quote from: Dan W on November 01, 2012, 04:45:43 PM ---Lincoln has changed its requirement and will not force the registration of handguns sold to a valid CHP holder. But all other buyers of handguns must sign a registration card that the Lincoln FFL fills out to report the sale to LPD

And if it wasn't purchased in Lincoln and I live in Waverly?  Must it be registered?

Dan W:
If the transaction took place outside Lincoln city limits, then there is no jurisdiction for Lincoln to enforce any ordinance.  :P


Here is the ordinance


--- Quote ---9.36.030 Report of Sale of Firearms.
Any person, firm, association, or corporation dealing in firearms of any type shall, on the same day of the sale of any firearm, except a shotgun or a rifle of a type commonly used for hunting, report the sale to the Police Department on forms as prescribed and furnished by the Police Department. The report shall contain all the information requested thereon. (Ord. 15625 §3; July
9, 1990: P.C. §9.28.025: Ord. 15443 §1; February 20, 1990: prior Ord. 7936 §1; December 26,
1962).

Poor Man:
A reply to Wilson (1)   I would like to add my experience with a contact with a LEO.   I always drive in a manner to eliminate any contact with LEO also.  However,  I was stopped by a NSP on a county road for a simple vehicle inspection,  all vehicles were being stopped. No problems arose.  My point here is that no matter how law abiding you may conduct your driving, sooner or later you will experience some type of contact.  Hope when it happens you meet as courteous an officer as I did. :D

Wilson:
To Poor Man: I have been stopped by Sarpy County Sheriff and it was a very pleasant experience...a non event. Many LEOs are happy to have us out there.  :D

You are right though...someday it will happen. I hope it isn't in Omaha!   :'(

I think it is a good thing that OPD is actually reaching out and TRYING to give information to law abiding citizens and to answer the many questions that come up.

Yes it is unfortunate there is some inaccurate information in their interview as noted above. One other thing I noted is that the Sgt stated that it was not legal for "Aliens" to possess a handgun. Omaha better than anyone should know that LEGAL Aliens absolutely can possess a handgun........ (Since they were sued by SAF and NFOA and lost) Now the Sgt's statement would have been accurate if he would have said "ILLEGAL ALIENS cannot possess a handgun"

Many people mistakenly ask Police Officers to define what a law means and this is a huge mistake. Police Officers have way too much on their plate to have the statute books memorized... And I have seen too many examples where Officers DON'T know the gun laws and tell citizens bad info. They know what they need to know to get by on the street.
