Don't know what to make of this? Looks like he's had a concealed carry permit since at least 2016? Too tired to re-watch. Seems remarkable, though, if true.

(43,256 posts)need to enforce the gun laws already on the books. That's what the right-wing gun nuts have been telling us for years.
Think. Again.
(22,456 posts)Yes, enforcing laws is part of the concept of having laws.
So I imagine trump isn't allowed to carry, but he probably does anyway and his parole officer is being overtly negligent.

(17,010 posts)if he was convicted in Florida he isn't able to vote or have a firearm or be in possession of ammunition and firearm related items.
Funny how that is ignored for certain individuals

Welcome to DU !
Emile
(43,256 posts)Yes, under federal law, a convicted felon is generally prohibited from owning, possessing, or using a firearm; this is codified in 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) which states that individuals convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than one year cannot possess a firearm.
Federal law applies: This restriction applies nationwide under federal law.

(17,010 posts)it seems there are state carve outs that may supersede federal law in some. Again, thanks
