According to what I have read, he had a string of arrests for various things over many years and was a convicted felon. I don’t know about every state, but in mine that would prevent him from receiving a CCW permit. I would imagine it is the same everywhere (except for NYC where anyone can get a permit for a $6,000 bribe). It would also make it illegal for him to carry the firearm he was reaching for when he was shot.
Convicted felon is a no go everywhere as far as I know...
There is no evidence that he is a felon.
