Related: About this forumOfficer-involved shooting: Ambrose had days-old gun permit
WATERLOO, Iowa --- A Waterloo resident who was shot and killed by police after allegedly pointing a gun at a crowd Sunday morning had obtained a permit to carry a gun days earlier, according to authorities.
Records at the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Office show Derrick Ambrose Jr. received his permit on Nov. 13, following a delay to adjudicate a drug charge.
Less than a week after he received the permit, Ambrose, 22, was dead after an incident outside a nightclub and fleeing from Officer Kyle Law.
Derrick Johnson, a friend of Ambrose, said Ambrose didn't carry a gun because he had been threatened but obtained his license because other acquaintances had theirs.

(33,982 posts)1. Why are these disqualifying cases expunged?
He would have been ineligible after the assault/property damage/tasered by cops incident in 2010, under shall-issue or may-issue anyway.
Why the fuck do we expunge these incidents? They are a rare glimpse into a troubled mind. they should be used to maximum effect.
