Private Purchase

[Xceptiona1]

I understand that if I purchase a handgun from a dealer I need my permit and then have to register at the Omaha PD before I can complete the purchase. Do I do the same process if purchasing from a private owner or can I just show my permit and not register the handgun?

I'm not trying to get away with anything, just not sure of the process. Thank you

Do you have a Nebraska CHP?

It is my understanding that if you have that, Omaha has diddly squat to say about your guns.

You are 'required' to take said legally privately purchased handgun, unloaded, in a case to to the downtown PD office and register it there.
If you hold a CHP, you are exempt from the registration process.  That alone is worth the money and time in obtaining a CHP, IMO.

Or take a more expensive route and move out of occupied territory into the free(er) surrounding communities. So glad I live outside of the occupied zone.

I'd definitely take any legal route that avoids registration. Hell no.

The above info is all correct, if you live within Omaha city limits.

If you live in a subdivision or other area that has NOT been annexed by Omaha as of yet, you need not register that handgun (again, unless you plan on carrying/transporting the handgun into Omaha).
