Title: Omaha Handgun Purchasing
Post by: Ram Ringer on January 16, 2013, 09:22:35 PM

Ok I know this has been brought up in various forms in the past, but I was having trouble finding what I wanted in all the searches that come up. The question is if I purchase a handgun in Omaha do I have to register it when I buy it. I am a CCW holder and live in Lincoln.  The reason for asking is I am looking for a Glock 19 or 17 which is like trying to find a needle in a haystack right now. So if I find someone who has one in stock I am going to have to go and buy it.

Thanks

Galen

With a valid CHP you are not required to have a concealable firearm registered

Thanks Dan, That is what I was thinking, but there is still a lot of confusion out there on this.

One of these days I need to stop by and introduce my self. My wife works across the street from your shop at 3E.

Thanks
Galen

I'll also add that even if you do not have a CCW, but live outside of the Omaha City limits you don't have to register it when you purchase it.  I live just outside city limits and purchased a handgun from Guns Unlimited just a few weeks ago and they just looked up my address to verify and sent me on your merry way.

Uh... be careful. From what I understand, if you possess a concealable firearm, within the city limits, you must have it registered with OPD. The only time this doesn't apply to you is if you have a CHP. It's not where you live, it's the fact that you are within the city limits.
Take care.

Yup, that's correct.  The law is so stupid because technically you couldn't legally transport a handgun down to OPD to even get it registered without breaking the law if you buy it outside of of city limits.

Thanks guys, this is why I asked their regs are so confusing. Wish the State would make them get in line with State laws
