The state saw a spike of applications at the time.

The news, which has sent shockwaves across Twitter, is now being leveraged by Democrats and anti-gun advocates against Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, who is running for Governor. In Florida, the Department of Agriculture is responsible for carrying out background checks for gun licenses.

The revelation stems from a report compiled by the Office of Inspector General in July 2017, which found that, from February 2016 to March 2017, a Division of Licensing employee in charge never used the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) that ensures deadly firearms do not end up in the wrong hands

The system shows whether an applicant has a criminal record or is otherwise disqualified from buying a gun. A total of over 230 million checks have been made using the system so far, resulting in 1.3 million denials.

While the investigation dates back to last year, the report was only made public on Friday through a records request by The Tampa Bay Times.

The report states that DOL manager Lisa Wilde, who was supposed to use NICS, was having trouble logging in to her account at the database. While she initially contacted the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) in an attempt to resolve the issue, this effort was short-lived, as she never made a follow-up call after a brief email exchange.

Wilde, who was found to be “negligent” by the investigators, admitted her fault, telling The Times that she was pressured into processing applications as fast as possible and “dropped the ball” on her other duties. She then claimed that when she was entrusted with the database in 2013, she was only a mailroom employee. “I didn’t understand why I was put in charge of it,” she added. The investigation found that last time she accessed the database was February 26, 2016. However, no one seemed to be bothered with the drop in denials for over a year, until the Bureau of License Issuance (BLI) chief sounded the alarm over the lack of any recent requests in late March 2017.

While there are no statistics as to exactly how many applications went unchecked during that time, it may be well over 260,000, as within the fiscal year from July 2016 to June 2017, a total of 268,000 applications were approved, while 6,470 were denied.

Putnam, who has portrayed a massive increase in concealed weapon license holders as his major achievement, has come under fire following the revelation, with anti-gun violence activists and Democrats calling on him to drop out of the race over a “gross dereliction of duty.”

Many pointed out that Putnam tweeted he was a “proud NRA sellout” a month after the investigation was concluded and submitted to his office.

“Shockingly irresponsible – for over a year, #FL failed to run proper background checks for concealed carry permits. This is unacceptable & could have put many Floridians in life-threatening danger,” a Twitter user wrote.

Announcing his gubernatorial bid in January, Putnam said that he made Florida “No 1 for law abiding citizens exercising their Second Amendment rights.”

“There are now 1.8 million active conceal weapon license holders in Florida, No. 1 in the nation, up from 800,000 before I came in (to the Agriculture Department),” he boasted.

Responding to the criticism, Putnam’s office said that the agency promptly took measures to rectify the error, “immediately” reviewing 365 applications, and 291 permits were annulled as a result.

Some pointed out that the negligence of one employee in Florida might have endangered lives in other states, as a concealed carry permit issued in Florida is also valid in 36 other states.

The Department, meanwhile, said that it “immediately” fired the employee after becoming aware of her non-compliance with the procedure, and it “thoroughly reviewed every application potentially impacted.”

It said that the FBI database was mainly used to check for “non-criminal disqualifying offenses,” and that the criminal background checks, while available through the FBI system, were conducted via other databases that continued to be available to the employees.

The number of concealed carry permit applications surged in the wake of the Pulse nightclub shooting, which left 49 people dead and 53 injured after gunman Omar Mateen opened fire on revelers on June 12, 2016. While 54,045 new applications were filed in June and July a year before the massacre, that number rose by nearly 24,000 for the same two months in 2016.

A looser gun law will be valid in Washington, DC, if a conservative congressman’s bill becomes law. The DC Personal Protection Reciprocity Act was introduced after four people were shot at a congressional baseball practice.

Representative Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) announced his introduction of House Resolution 2909 on Thursday, less than two days after a shooter opened fire on four people at a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana), who was shot in the hip, remains in critical condition. The gunman, James Hodgkinson, died in a shootout with police.

“If not for the heroic efforts of the United States Capitol Police at the ball field yesterday, things could have been much worse. What’s always evident in these situations is this: The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” Massie (R-Kentucky) said in a statement.

HR 2909, also known as the DC Personal Protection Reciprocity Act, would also allow Americans to apply for a non-resident permit in DC, if they do not have a permit issued from their home state. Reciprocity would be offered to citizens of DC as well if the bill passes.

Massie says in the statement that it is in Congress’s power to legislate in this area pursuant to article 1, section 8, clause 17. This gives congress the right to “exercise exclusive Legislation in all cases whatsoever over such District as may become the Seat of The Government of The United States,”

“What I’m trying to do is avoid a tragic situation in the future, and what the American people don’t realize is that most congressmen do not have a security detail and we are exposed as the general public is exposed as they come to visit our nation’s capitol,” Massie said in an interview with Fox Business, according to The Washington Examiner.

The new legislation is similar to a bill that was supported by The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action and introduced by Rep. David Schweikert (R-Arizona) last year.

It seems as if tensions are even higher now after the shooting, as one Republican representative, Chris Collins (R-NY), was quoted as saying “If you look at the vulnerability, I can assure you from this day forward, I have a carrier permit. He continued, “I will be carrying when i’m out and about.”

Another Republican, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (GA) said “I think we need to look for some kind of reciprocity for members here.”

“It makes it slightly easier to get one of those non-resident permits in Washington DC”, Massie said, according to The Washington Examiner.

Massie has brought on 23 co-sponsors for his House bill.

Edward Peruta is a litigious Vietnam veteran who spends part of each year living out of a trailer home in San Diego.

Neil Gorsuch is a conservative Coloradan with impeccable Ivy League judicial credentials.

Peruta’s legal challenge to San Diego County’s concealed carry permitting system has been winding its way through the federal court system since 2009.

Gorsuch was sworn in as the newest associate justice of the Supreme Court just four days ago.

On Thursday, their fortunes will meet when Gorsuch joins his first-ever Supreme Court conference to discuss whether the bench should hear Peruta v. California, which asks whether the Second Amendment protects a right to carry guns in public spaces. It could be the most consequential gun case since the Court confirmed the individual right to bear arms in District of Columbia v. Heller nearly a decade ago.

The majority opinion in that case was written by Antonin Scalia, Gorsuch’s predecessor and a staunch originalist (meaning he believed that the intent of the Constitution has not changed), but it left unresolved a handful of major questions about the Second Amendment. Peruta seeks to answer one of them. Here’s everything you need to know about the case.

What’s this case all about, in a nutshell?

Broadly, it’s about whether the Second Amendment protects the right of a citizen to carry a firearm in public for self defense. More specifically, it’s about the “good cause” requirement many California counties — including San Diego — impose on residents applying for a license to carry a concealed weapon.

How strict the “good cause” standard is varies by jurisdiction, but it means that gun permit applicants must have what the sheriff’s department deems to be a convincing reason to need to carry a gun. If a sheriff finds an applicant doesn’t clear that bar, they can’t legally carry a concealed gun in public, which is what happened to Peruta.

Didn’t the Supreme Court already rule that the Constitution guarantees an individual right to bear arms?

Yes, in District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that the Second Amendment provides an individual right to protect oneself with a firearm. But the facts of that case were about having a firearm in the home: The Washington, D.C., gun ordinance underlying that 2008 case banned some types of guns and required firearms kept in personal residences to be disassembled and unloaded.

And residences were the explicit focus of the majority decision in Heller, in which Scalia argued that the Second Amendment “surely elevates above all other interests the right of law-abiding, responsible citizens to use arms in defense of hearth and home.”

So, in other words, the Supreme Court has so far said that policymakers can still set their own standards for allowing people to carry guns in public?

Heller seems to leave room for that, especially when it comes to concealed weapons. Here’s the relevant section from the decision:

Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited … For example, the majority of the 19th-century courts to consider the question held that prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons were lawful under the Second Amendment or state analogues … Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on … laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places.

What’s taken the Supreme Court so long to resolve the question of whether there’s a right to carry in public?

Well, for starters, the court only grants cert (that is, agrees to hear arguments and rule on a case) to a tiny fraction of the petitions it receives. And in the years since Heller, it’s likely that the justices haven’t felt like they’ve seen a good case on this particular question of carrying guns in public. If the justices decide that Peruta is not the suit to determine if the right to carry a gun extends outside the home, there’s at least one other upcoming case on the issue — Matthew Grace and Pink Pistols v. District of Columbia — that the court could agree to hear.

Is this case more likely to be granted cert now that Gorsuch is on the court?

Neil GorsuchChip Somodevilla/Getty Images“As a matter of basic arithmetic, yes,” says Joseph Blocher, a law professor at Duke University who part of Washington, D.C.’s legal team in the Heller case. “It’s easier to get four votes when you’ve got nine justices.” But Blocher also notes that even with Scalia’s former seat now filled, petitioners in gun cases face another obstacle to getting their cases heard. “Replacing him with Gorsuch doesn’t really up the odds that much. Besides Scalia, [Clarence] Thomas and [Samuel] Alito are the only ones who have supported a cert grant since Heller.”

In order for Peruta to be granted cert, Gorsuch, Thomas, and Alito would need a fourth justice — most likely Anthony Kennedy or Chief Justice John Roberts — to also agree that the case should go forward for a full hearing.

What do gun-rights lawyers cite as the constitutional basis for carrying guns in public?

We put this one to Dave Kopel, a leading pro-gun legal scholar.

Heller describes in detail what the words in the Second Amendment mean. What are “arms?” What is “keep?” What is “bear?” Some people have said “bear” is a technical term that only means carrying arms while serving in the militia. Heller says no, “bear” means to carry arms in general.

In addition, Kopel argues, when the court used Heller to lay out how guns can be regulated, it was de facto emphasizing that the right to bear arms extends to carrying them in public.

They say it’s okay to ban guns for convicted felons and the mentally ill. That’s an exception that tells you there’s a right, in general, to keep and bear arms. The fact that you need to name the exception tells you what the rule is. Likewise, Heller says conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of guns are okay. That tells you that selling guns, in general, is a constitutional right. The other exception they state is that it’s okay to ban the carrying of guns in “sensitive places” such as “schools and government buildings.” Well, again, that tells you there’s a right to carry guns in general, but you can make certain limits in spaces that are sensitive. If there wasn’t a right to carry outside your home, you wouldn’t need exceptions.

Given that Gorsuch is an uber-originalist, will he find evidence for a right to carry in public in the text of the Second Amendment?

Maybe — but Blocher notes that originalist interpretations of the Second Amendment can also cut either way. Scalia’s famous Heller opinion certainly used an originalist argument — but so did the dissenting justices who argued that the right to bear arms did not extend outside the “militia” context described in the Bill of Rights.  

The lower court opinion affirming San Diego County’s decision to reject Peruta’s permit application was also heavily originalist. In that opinion, Judge William Fletcher of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals cited sources from the 13th century, the Revolutionary War, and Reconstruction to illustrate that the right to bear arms does not necessarily include the right to bear arms in public.

Let’s go back to California, where this particular case started. How does the state handle issuing concealed carry permits?

Like most states, each county sheriff’s office is responsible for issuing concealed weapons permits. California is a “may issue” state, which means that its sheriffs have broad discretion over who gets a permit.

In San Diego County, the sheriff may issue a permit if an applicant meets these criteria:

  • The applicant is of good moral character
  • The applicant demonstrates good cause for the issuance of the license
  • The applicant presents proof of residency within San Diego County

Are there alternatives to a “may issue” system for concealed carry permits?

REUTERS/Rebecca CookThomson ReutersYou’re on to it: Indeed, the majority of states follow “shall issue” permitting schemes. That means if an applicant meets the criteria for a permit, the issuing authority must grant them a permit. Put simply, “shall issue” states remove discretion from law enforcement.  

So what is Peruta arguing in this case?

That San Diego County’s “good cause” requirements are too strict because they basically preclude the ability to carry a gun in public. The county’s specific provision defines “good cause” as “a set of circumstances that distinguish the applicant from the mainstream and causes him or her to be placed in harm’s way. Simply fearing for one’s personal safety alone is not considered good cause.”

So what would happen to the “good cause” requirements if the Supreme Court rules in favor of Peruta?

States and municipalities that have “good cause” permitting requirements would have to make sure those stipulations aren’t too restrictive. A decision in favor of Peruta wouldn’t necessarily mean that states could no longer place any restrictions on concealed gun carry, however. “The question is not the absolute one of whether states are going to allow public carry,” Blocher said. Because, in practice, every state already does.

Why didn’t Peruta go about Southern California while armed, and just not conceal his firearm?

Because California doesn’t allow open carry. Peruta is saying he’s stuck between a rock (the good cause requirement) and a hard place (the ban on open carry).

So why isn’t he filing suit against California’s open carry rule?

He hasn’t said, but here’s a fair guess: He probably thinks he has a better shot at changing a rule in his county  — the “good cause” restrictions — than he does changing a statewide law.
