And yet two counties denied he had applied for a permit. The Sheriff said that he cannot divulge the names of people under his jurisdiction who have a permit.

According to Jim Quinn (radio announcer), he told the officer before the shooting he had a CC permit. The news stations ran with it, but the Sheriff denied he had ever applied for one. He lied. I think this was an attempt at an ambush.
