Permit to Purchase rules different than Registration rules
« on: January 29, 2013, 09:37:17 PM »
So.  I'm new to the forum, and have a question

I got my permit to purchase a firearm. Passed the background check and away i went.  Searched for weeks to find the gun I wanted (Beretta 96 .40). Found one and bought it.  Went that day to go register the gun (I live in Omaha) so I could take the gun home that day.  I was denied for the gun registration because of a drug paraphernalia from 7 years ago.

I go to get the permit, and they say "Yeah you can go buy a gun", and I go to register said gun and they tell me "Wait, you can't own a gun!"   How did i pass the background check for one and not the other????????

So Now I have to spend $50.00 and appeal this denial for registration with the "Administrative Board of Appeals."   what a joke.  Anybody ever heard of this happening?

Because the purchase permit is state law and the drug paraphernalia is a city ordinance.  Two different governing bodies.  I believe Lincoln has somewhat the same type of city ordinance.

Sadly this type of bs has happened before, welcome to the big O.  The most draconian gun laws in the state.

So did they keep your Beretta till the appeal is done or what?  Curious if they keep your shooter till you get it straightened out? Best of luck.

Get your CCW permit and this won't be an issue.

@Sparkey:  Since the gun was paid for in full, the pawn shop agreed to keep the gun untill i get it figured out.  Waiting to heard back from the board of appeals.
@00Buck:  I would, but the CCW permit has the same stipulations as the City Ordinance, so my charge makes me inelligable till 2016.

For some reason I was thinking something like that was 5 years - sorry.
Not sure if the appeals thing will go, it is Omaha and they do hate gun owners - which would leave you with only two other options - moving out of Omaha, or waiting until 2016.

Yeah.  The only thing I have going for me is that the cop that was filing my registration said there was a good chance they would grant me the appeal.....

The NSP sure as hell wouldn't grant him a permit with his drug conviction.

Well, then get the city council to change the ordinance.

I know the pawn brokers in Omaha. They are nice enough, but they are not going to store that for you till 2016.   

Try to get most if not all your money back, and pick another hobby. The NSP is not going to look the other way on a drug conviction.   You are wasting the fifty bucks on an appeal.

Get a high powered atty if it means that much to you, and get your record aspunged would be the only way. Figure twenty grand in what will amount to.palm grease.

On a similar note I have a friend that came back from Iraq and applied for a permit and was denied because of his 'ptsd' which I think at this point everyone is diagnosed with. He had to go through the process of appeals as well.
