Concealed Handgun Permit instead of Firearm Purchase Certificate
During my last handgun purchase a few days ago, I was commenting on the need for me to renew my Firearm Purchase Certificate. Here in Nebraska, that Certificate is good for 3 years, and mine was due to expire in a couple weeks. I was informed that a person can now use his/her Concealed Handgun Permit for the purchase of firearms.
Has anyone else heard this?

It is true, a NE Concealed Handgun Permit holder NO LONGER needs to have the handgun purchase permit. The ATF has officially notified FFL's in the state of Nebraska. See the link below to read about it and see a copy of the official letter from the ATF:
http://nebraskafirearms.org/forum/in...ic,3579.0.html Now understand though, there may be some gun dealers who are not smart enough to educate themselves in the laws as they change, so you could go to a gun store and they may not know this. While you are on the link above, be sure to sign up and join the NE Firearms Owners Association. Lots of great info there..... And it is all FREE! (including the membership) |

We had a thread on this a couple weeks ago and the concensus was permit to purchase was needed. This clears all that up as I said then all you need is the ccw now like Iowa.

cmzneb is right. BATFE recently notified Nebraska firearms dealers of their ruling.
However, I still use my purchase permit and I plan to renew it when it expires. I'm not real keen on flashing my CC permit around in public. YMMV |
