Does any of that mean he would have been allowed to carry a gun?

He was still supposed to self-identify when filling out the form. The liberal democrat is dead now, so it no longer matters.

Makes sense. Don’t really need armed security at Schlitterbahn.

But still. Texas DPS would never given him a permit as a non commissioned security officer had the Air Force not screwed up.

However - the original questions still remains. On what basis did the State of Texas deny him a license to carry?

Evidently he was on somebody’s list.

Not necessarily “unwitting.” This subhuman was sentenced in 2012, the fourth year of Obola’s illegitimate reign. Obola already masterminded the “Fast and Furious” mass murder plot that was designed to send thousands of paramilitary rifles to Mexican drug cartels to cause mass murder and mayhem, thereby undermining support for the Second Amendment. This could have very well been another of Obola’s attempts to salt the gun grabbing mine.

“I would imagine it was an E-2 or E-3 clerk who obviously needed better supervision and training.”

I wonder how many people with “creatively spelled” names aren’t found in database searches...

We just need a bigger bureaucracy - hire more useless parasites on the taxpayer’s dime who can’t do their job.

Yesterday I was told at the planning and permitting office that they didn’t have any surveys, just what was on the website. I pressed the issue so the clerk went to her supervisor and verified; no surveys. Turns out they did have surveys, just nobody in the office knew it. I had to call my surveyor, who knew the man who ran the office, to get the surveys that are supposedly public record.

Today I went to the water control office to sign up for connecting to the sewer. The woman at the front desk told me I couldn’t do it. A voice from a nearby office said, “Sure he can.” The other woman came out and provided me with the correct documents.

The only government office I have dealt with where the people knew what to do has been the taxing agencies.
The point of all this is, you can pass laws all you want. But they all come down to a clerk who may not be able to find his/her/its butt crack with

"Another one of the governments unwitting agents of mayhem that they seed into the population."

Might not have been "unwitting". This one's on the apathetic Team Obama and his NEUTRALIZED military that he HATED.

Possible answer to my question.

When Kelley filled out the background check paperwork at the store, he checked the box to indicate he didn’t have disqualifying criminal history, the official said. He listed an address in Colorado Springs, Colorado when he bought the rifle, the official said.

http://wgntv.com/2017/11/06/texas-church-shooting-suspect-devin-kelley-denied-gun-license-governor-says/

Perhaps Kelley was not a legal resident of Texas at the time he applied for a license to carry?

I’ll keep looking.

A dirty little secret about the NICS has now broken into the open and there's gonna be a whole lot of scrambling around now - the database(s) are spotty, incomplete. NICS is practically a sham - the questions on the forms you fill out relies on the honor system for the most part.

Happened while Øbama was CIC...maybe the POTUS wanted violent and unstable people to buy firearms in order to fit his anti-gun narrative.

Someone was responsible for doing the paperwork. This person needs to join the Bergdahl Judge in Alaska for a NEW duty assignment

“Well, no problem, no harm, no foul, didn’t cost anyone anything at all.”

Really? Don’t you think that the people who lost family members will be lining up with their lawyers to sue the AF?

You are exactly right. I could be in every “data base” known and have a weapon and ammo in 30 minutes if I wanted one. I fail to see why it’s even an issue. Well, I guess it is because the left WANTS it to be.

My best (semi) educated guess is that he filled out a firm incorrectly or possibly gave false/incorrect information on an application.
