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.

(42,564 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.

(42,564 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.

(17,000 posts)it seems there are state carve outs that may supersede federal law in some. Again, thanks
