It was still being reported that an AR was used. News early on is often inaccurate but knowing it wasn't an AR makes me (and the victims) feel SOOOO much better.

Having a CC is not moot. He got one despite two arrests for gun usage, a questionable discharge and psyc issues including hearing voices. That is a major issue in our so called background checks.

Thanks for acknowledging the fallacy of the "good guy with a gun" .
