Denied purchase permit for handgun

(1/4) > >>

KK@:
After waiting for nearly 3 weeks in which I couldn't reach anyone about the status of my permit, I was denied. I have never had legal issues, I am the only person with my name in the entire world, and I am active duty military with a top secret clearance... so there is no chance anything could ever show a red flag in a background check.

The reason provided for denial was "Must have valid Nebraska state ID or Driver's License". When I applied I provided my current military ID, my PCS orders, my LES showing legal residence claimed in another state, and proof of current Sarpy county address in the form of two utility bills.

The statute states state ID, NE drivers license OR Military ID. Does it not?

Is this a legal denial? I'm a little pissed off about how big a waste of time this is. Do I seriously have to appeal this idiocy?

It was obviously denied in error.  Perhaps they failed to realize you were AD military and were applying as an out of state resident.  I'd think an appeal or a re-submission, making sure you highlight your status as active duty, would clear things right up.

Just out of curiosity, where did you apply?

Everyone seems to be talking about a Concealed Handgun Permit (issued by the NSP). The topic says "purchase permit" which is issued by your county's sheriff. KK@, can you clarify which county you are in?

Any way you shake it, I agree this is an error. From the Lancaster County website:

--- Quote ---DOCUMENTS REQUIRED AT TIME OF APPLICATION

Current Nebraska operator's license, Nebraska state ID card, or a Military ID card. The ID must have your correct legal name. The address on your Nebraska ID must be current and match the address on the application. If your only form of ID is a Military ID card, you must also provide two forms of proof of Lancaster County residency (i.e. utility bill, vehicle registration, pay stub, etc.) with your current address.
Application fee of $5.00.
Applicants born on a Unitied States military base outside the U.S. must provide their birth certificate.
Applicants born outside the U.S. must also provide a copy of their citizenship papers, U.S. Passport, or alien resident card.

From your description, I think you covered your bases. Perhaps a polite visit to your sheriff's office is in order?
