So, did he wrap the permit around his hand and use it like a glove or did he roll it up and loop it through the trigger guard and pull it out?
I've to confess, Right Wing Assault, I skimmed more than read the article, so I didn't notice that. I've just now noticed the source: a television station in Sacramento. All is suddenly explained: somebody with a California education was trying to write intelligible English.

I can't tell you how much trouble I had trying to find copywriters and proofreaders when I lived in Silicon Valley. When an aspiring copywriter's resume and cover letter contain the larger part of a dozen grammatical howlers, misusages, spelling and punctuation errors, and stylistic lapses, you wince and grimace and shake your head. When an aspiring proofreader's resume and cover letter are no improvement upon the aspiring copywriter's, you think to read it aloud for giggles and grins, only to realize you'd have to explain the deficiencies to everyone in the company.
