(49,445 posts)...his CCW permit had nothing to do with his ability to cause the carnage he did.
He was in his home when things went sour and he decided to get out a gun and start shooting, so his ability to carry legally concealed in public had nothing to do with his ability to commit violence in his private residence.
Now, the story doesn't say specifically what kind of gun was used; it does say he shot the unofficial "neighborhood watch captain" with a shotgun after chasing him up to his apartment and kicking his door in, and also after shooting and killing two bystanders that came to help.
It would seem very likely that the shotgun was used in all four murders, which, again, would have nothing to do with his concealed-carry permit or his carrying concealed in public.
