no

If it's a handgun, the buyer needs to have a handgun purchase permit from their local sheriff dept. before they can buy a handgun. That permit can substitute for the nics check.

I found out that now days you need that even for long guns.

No, you don't need a handgun permit (permit to acquire) for long gun purchase in NE. It just makes it quicker and easier if you do have one.

Do everyone a favor, go get a firearm purchase certificate. It takes 5 minutes to apply, $5 to get, and 5 minutes to pick it up, and is good for three years. Don't tie up the dealer's time at a show, where he could miss a sale because you were too lazy to get a permit. It may save you lots of time and effort, avoiding delays from the NICS check.

My brother who lives in Kansas has two DUIs, he gets delayed every time, which could be up to three days (IIRC).

How long it takes to get depends on what county your in and if you "know" someone in the Sheriffs office.  Mine wasn't ready until the next day.  If your in Douglas Co. (Omaha) it could be 3-5 days.

Get the handgun permit.  It makes things fast and smooth.

It took five days for mine to be approved, and I know them well, just standard procedure, two trips to the sheriff's office, no big deal.
