Lawsuit filed for denial of a Chicago Firearm Permit

[05FLHT]

The suit claims that he filed Nov. 1, 2010 for a city firearm permit but was denied by the city’s Department of Administrative Hearings because he had a 1995 misdemeanor conviction for possessing a firearm on a public street. Gowder has never been convicted of a felony, according to the suit.

This suit is being supported by the NRA and looks to challenge the denial of a CFP due to a previous misdemeanor conviction.
