Title: Obtaining a CCW permit
Post by: Fr33Th1nK3r on January 16, 2013, 08:35:41 PM
Hello guys and gals!  This is my first post and intend it not to be even close to my last.  I'm excited to be a part of this community!

I'm a complete noob when it comes to owning a firearm but not completely new to firearms in general.  I had very limited "training" when I was in the Air Force.  I also volunteered to perform security police duty on a few occasions while in the military.  That being said, I have a question regarding obtaining a ccw permit.  Here's my dilemma:

I don't have a firearm yet but I put one on layaway just yesterday and I intend on paying off the balance in the next few weeks.

I know that in Omaha (Douglas Co.), registering a firearm isn't required IF you obtain a ccw permit (I'm moving to Sarpy county in June where they don't require registering a firearm at all, so I'd rather not register in Omaha either). But how can I get a ccw permit if I don't get the registration which allows me to pick up the firearm from the vendor? Am I missing something?

I'm assuming that when I go to the Douglas Co. Sheriff's office I'm supposed to tell them that I won't be registering since I intend on getting the ccw permit.  But again, how can I pay off and obtain the firearm without the registration?  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks for your time!

First, Welcome to the Forum!

Where are you located?

Do you have a Firearm Purchase Certificate?

If you are local to Omaha, and have the above "I'm not a felon card", borrowing a gun to take the  shooting portion of the class would not be impossible....... talk to the class instructor, maybe an arrangement can be made......
