RAW: Sherriff responds after wrongly denying gun permits to people in active recovery

Gun owners who've taken steps to treat their addiction and are in active recovery are getting denied concealed carry permits by the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office and it's costing some of them thousands of dollars to fight the illegal denials in court. A WCNC Charlotte investigation found the sheriff's department has a longstanding system in place that prevents people living in sobriety from legally concealing their guns when in public. Court records show MCSO has denied concealed carry permits in recent years for people whose health records last noted addiction as far back as 1991. The never camera-shy Sheriff Garry McFadden initially refused to answer questions about MCSO's practice on-camera. After weeks of trying to convince McFadden to explain his reasoning on-camera, WCNC Charlotte alerted his office that, while not preferred, WCNC Charlotte intended to interview the sheriff in a public setting in the days and weeks ahead. https://www.wcnc.com/article/money/ch...
