The charges that were pending were Carrying concealed without a permit. Those have since been droped due to lack of conclusive evidence.

So then he should be able to get a permit to purchase then - right?

He already has that.The purchase permit and gun registration are two different things.What he needed was the new gun registered with the city. And yes he should be able to do this and then pick up his new gun from the dealer.

Omaha has entirely too many unnecessary hoops through which one must jump and obviously I am not fully cognizant of them. It appeared from what I had read earlier that he had been denied the purchase permit.

In any event, it seems that it is working out for him - I'm glad.

In the state you have to get a purchase permit which is good for 3 years. They do a background check and when time to buy no NICS is done on you. Omaha requires that all handguns be registered if you live in the city limits unless you have a CCW.If you buy a handgun from a dealer in the city limits they require you to go and register it before the dealer can let you have the gun.Total pain in the ass here but it is getting better.
