Never applied for one according to the sheriff
The Star Tribune says he had one according to their source. I don’t know about their credibility either. Seems her would be hard for him to have a carry permit with an arrest record. Also, why would a cook need a carry permit?

Funny thing about that.
At the Gotnews site there’s a screenshot of a tweet from what looks like a “Ramsey Sheriff (Mn) with a pic that shows a badge with the name “Matt Bostrom”. The tweet says, “Mr Castile never applied for a permit to carry with our office. Therefore we did not issue a permit.”
The problem is, in this age of Hellery Deceit that tweet doesn’t say that he didn’t have a CCW - only that this particular department didn’t issue one to him.
A commenter at that same page posted a link to a Star Tribune page that quotes “an unnamed source” that the perp had a CCW. Unnamed sources don’t count.
Then there is coverage at Conservative Treehouse where they recap the Gotnews story. A commenter there posts: “His contact permit to carry was issued in Hennepin County. The article shows a tweet from Ramsey county.”
Thank you if you’ve stuck with me this far and I’m coming to my point. Mark Twain once said, “A Lie Can Travel Halfway Around the World While the Truth Is Putting On Its Shoes”
All this speculation about one small aspect of a much larger story could be immediately put to bed by someone with sufficient authority to look up in the official state database for permits. Why they don’t is a mystery to me but it has the appearance that they (the authorities) actually encourage speculation and rumor-mongering.
The Ramsey County sheriff said that Castile never applied for one at his office.
But, had you asked someone that understands the CCW permit process in MN, they would have told you Castile could have applied for one when he lived in Hennepin County.
And he did: Philando Castile had permit to carry gun
