Terror suspect wages court battle for gun permit

An interesting permit-related case in the news here in MN. Wonder how this will play out?

Fridley man at center of FBI terror probe wages court battle for a gun permit

For at least three years, the FBI has kept tabs on a Fridley man suspected of helping produce ISIS propaganda while longing to join militants abroad.

Agents raided his home last summer. They’ve scoured nearly two dozen social media accounts he allegedly operated. Now, the 37-year-old father of four is enmeshed in a new court challenge of his own making: He wants to carry a gun, but his county’s sheriff won’t let him.

The highly unusual case, which has drawn the attention of the U.S. Attorney’s Office and FBI, seeks to test the limits of how much discretion officials have in denying permits to carry firearms to residents without criminal convictions.

The statute allows for discretion but on appeal the sheriff must be able to present evidence.

It looks to me as if they'd have evidence to prevent.

A bit of a dilemma for the left:

If they play the race/ religion card on behalf of a victim, as is their wont, they run the risk of putting more guns on the street and contributing to wild west shoot outs.....what to do......what to do....
