CNN — The New York City Police Department is preparing to revoke former President Donald Trump’s license to carry a gun, a senior police official told CNN.

Trump’s New York concealed carry license was quietly suspended on April 1, 2023, following his indictment on criminal charges in New York, the official said. Two of the three pistols he was licensed to carry were turned over to the NYPD on March 31, 2023, and a third gun listed on Trump’s license “was lawfully moved to Florida,” the person added.

After Trump was convicted of 34 felonies on May 30, 2024, he could be in violation of multiple state and federal laws if he still possesses that third gun in Florida. CNN has reached out to representatives of Trump to determine whether he still has a gun in Florida. Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon is a federal crime. The NYPD’s Legal Bureau will complete its investigation “that will likely lead to revocation of his license,” the senior police official said. Trump could seek a hearing challenging the revocation.

Trump has had a license from the NYPD to carry a concealed firearm for more than a decade, according to multiple law enforcement sources, but because Trump’s application came with a request for confidentiality, they are exempt from public records requests, according to the NYPD’s guidelines and New York state law.

1. Now he won't be able to shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue.

Will he have to smite them with his tiny fists instead?

[IcyPeas]

7. Not to worry... he has soldiers.

You can fill in some actual names of Repubs to fit these definitions. He seems to have many soldiers.... many in the government who have taken an "oath of silence, called omerta".

[Bo Zarts]

2. How will he prove his 5th Avenue hypothesis?

[louis-t]

3. If anyone thinks he won't try to keep a gun

just to stick it to the Man, they should think again.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. For some reason

I just never heard him (outside of maybe calling for violence at idiotic rallies) "gun hump". And that was regardless of speaking to the NRA. He never did the fake "hunting" photo ops or AR-15 poses and whatnot.

10. I dont think trump is really pro gun

I dont think he is anti gun either. I think he doesn't really care much on it and just said whatever the republicans wanted him to say on guns. Outside of that, it's a nonfactor to him.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Exactly.

His "thing" was "golf".

[Blues Heron]

5. Ha ha no guns for you!! now go pee in a cup

[Harker]

6. That won't prevent him from shooting his mouth off...

or shooting himself in the foot.

[Emile]

8. Republicans have always said, enforce the laws already

on the books whenever new gun laws were introduced.

[MOMFUDSKI]

9. Why quietly?

WTF?

[Traurigkeit]

15. Lot's of $$$ and followers in NYPD and The Police Union.

[moonshinegnomie]

12. he cant have a gun in florida either

id love to see him charged with being a felon in possesion....

[Ford_Prefect]

13. I would have thought that a Delusional Paranoid would have been disqualified for reasons.

[Traurigkeit]

14. With his weak arms, he'd shoot his toes off first.

[COL Mustard]

19. You know he won't shoot himself in the balls.

Too much blubber protecting them!

[Traurigkeit]

21. need microscope to aim

[llmart]

16. I can't even picture that idiot with a gun.

I doubt he's ever gone to a shooting range to learn how to properly use it. Probably couldn't hit the broadside of a barn either. Maybe he'd be another Dick Cheney and "accidentally" shoot someone like, oh, I don't know, another GOPer??? Best they take the guns away from him.

[Evolve Dammit]

17. Best news all day. I'm sure he will abide by that ruling.

[Evolve Dammit]

18. If only his trouser handgun would cause injury by accidental discharge? Would that be bad?

[Oopsie Daisy]

20. I did not know that he had a license to carry. Interesting. How long has he had it? Did he ever carry in public?

[sarisataka]

22. I believe he has had it for over 30 years

It was discussed long ago in the gungeon when NYC was put forth as an example of how permits should be handled. The counter argument being all it took to get a permit in NYC was money or influence; Trump was given as an example.

Did he ever carry or was it just something to brag about? There doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. (Personally, I would doubt that he would carry unless it was to "impress" someone)

[Oopsie Daisy]

23. Thanks! I was just coming back to revisit this... Lawrence O'Donnell just had a segment *

* that explained it.
