For a year conceal carry permits applicants in Florida weren't undergoing the required background check.
About 275,000 applications were made during this timeframe.
An audit discovered the problem and the required checks were made.
345 were found to have some kind of problem.
Of those, 291 were then revoked because the applicant was found to be ineligible.
291 out of 275,000...
Fewer than 300 people got a permit they weren't supposed to have while the State of Florida wasn't doing its job.
What this really means is hardly anyone who's forbidden from owning a gun or getting that permit bothers to apply for one.
I'm willing to bet that the 291 people who had their permit revoked were genuinely unaware they're prohibited people; especially with the change that makes misdemeanor domestic violence a prohibiting offense.
