A head's up if you are carrying in Omaha.....

Pretty sure the NRA does not care much about nebraska... we are small fish to big sharks like them.
To register your gun I believe you have to actually bring the gun into the OPD. Which is kind of a double standard since technically you are breaking the law to bring it there.
I disagree about the "oh well" factor of the list. Yes my name is on a list of CCW'ers. But big brother does not know what kind or how many guns I own. I am OK with being known by the gov't as a gun owner. I am proud of that fact. However I do not want him knowing what I own so he can come to my front door with a list of serial numbers of guns to turn in.

I thought I read on a thread either this forum or the CCW Nebraska forum that the NRA had "someone" coming to NE...and I thought that maybe it was about the preemption bit...but I could be mistaken...not the first or last time :)

It's not a painful process. A co-worker and I went down and registered during lunch one day. We took our unloaded weapons into the office in locked boxes. Asked for and received the paperwork which we filled out on the spot, paid our pound of flesh, they ran a check on the serial number or whatever they were doing back there (that took the longest) and we were on our way. If you aren't a resident of Omaha you only have to register the one weapon you plan on carrying. I hate having to register but I hate the thought of going un-armed in Omaha more. I like to limit myself to only one carry weapon because in a stressful situation I want to make sure that I am very familiar with the operation of that weapon. My Beretta has the safety on the slide but my 1911?s safety is on the frame. Stuff like that makes a difference in the dark, when scared, pissed, moving, etc.

Eating donuts?!?! ;D
Actually, thanks for the processing info/experience....good to know that it can be relatively quick...but painful (i.e., the idea, as you and Jesse T pointed out, that they now know at least one specific handgun is in your possession. Greatly appreciated!

If it's Jordan Austin, don't get yer hopes up.......... he's not really that effective in the hearing room: I've watched him twice and was not really impressed. Ernie was making him look sillly.....
...not to mention the fact that the NRA WAS AGAINST US on 958 'bout this time last year: they were cutting another deal with the antis....... for somthinwe did not really want!
