A head's up if you are carrying in Omaha.....
Rule#.308:
Guys I do not want to start a war here but State Law trumps local law in all cases. If Omaha bans carrying outside your home or office and at least up until lately they can. However State Law clearly makes your vehicle an extension of your home and as long as your firearm is in your vehicle there is nothing they can do. Should they try, by arresting you and confiscating your firearm, they are leaving themselves open for a serious high dollar law suit. They know this and are hoping that you don't. When I travel from Sarpy county into Omaha I simply leave my firearm in my vehicle.

I would not due it. The City has a lot deeper pocket books than most people and they can drag on a case forever.

As it stands right now,if you are from out of Omaha,and you have the Nebraska CCW permit to leaglly carry a concealed handgun,you do not have to have it REGISTERED thru OPD. You have different county plates,a drivers license that states you are from that city and,if you do not get stopped for anykind of violation[of course the cops can run your plates and it shows on the DMV records that you have a CCW permit and they will not and I repeat not stop you unless you are doing something wrong.] Our police Chief and mayor has said and is honoring the ccw permits here in Nebraska and along with the other states that are honoring ours and with theirs. So their is the answer I got from Marty Conboy. You can use the ccw to bypass gun registration here in Omaha and you still[because of BATFE] still have to have the $5.00 buyers card. So,you are all good to go. If you do not have a ccw permit,you will have to REGISTER your handgun still with OPD. rich17z

You don't "Have" to get the County sheriff purchase permit still if you are a CHP holder, the FFL can just run a NICS check to complete the purchase and meet the Federal requirement. However some stores (ie. Scheels in Lincoln) have set their own policy now that they will not sell to you without a handgun purchase permit.
Getting the $5 purchase permit is still the easiest way to handle it

All of the gun stores in Omaha are doing it with the state card and ccw permit so,you do not have to register the gun. I have talked to Dan,the aid to State Senator Mark Christensen and he has a call from a friend of his that works for Senator Mike Johanns. And when I last talked to dan this past week,Senator Johanns is going to put a bug in BATFE to sign off on our state law that took effect July 14th 2010. rich17z
