He was a convicted criminal and ineligible to own a gun, much less have a CCW.

No, he wasn't. He had many traffic infractions, but nothing serious.

There is a post form the Ramsey County Sheriffs office that the guy never applied for a CCW and thus could not have one so the claim that he was reaching for his CCW permit to show the officer is a lie.

And, if you had done your homework, you would have known that Castile lived in Hennepin County at one point. In MN, you apply at the local sheriff's office.

A local TV station has inquired, and confirmed that Hennepin County issued a CCW permit to Castile:

None of Castile’s charges or convictions involve guns, violence, threats against or fleeing police. Since he didn’t have any felony convictions, he was eligible to apply for a permit to carry a weapon. Sources confirm that Castile had received a valid permit in Hennepin County.

The TV station was wrong: “According to a question presented to the local county sheriff who oversees the Concealed Carry Permit process, Mr. Castile had never requested a concealed carry permit from their office”

Oh, darn. It seems I was wrong and that they have uncovered a CCW for Castile.

Seems he was only convicted of multiple, non felony criminal charges and was thus legal to won and carry.

My bad. So Sorry

Everything else seems factual.
