I think the denial of a CCW is more subjective and not laid down in specific law like owning a firearm is many sheriffs never approve any.The county Sheriff did deny the Carry Permit, so he had cause, probably because he did his job and checked the full back ground which includes military records which will show the circumstances of the shooters discharge and the domestic would show up, even if it wasn't listed as a D.V., if the FBI had done there job, they would have seen the same thing that the Sheriff did, and they would have not only denied him, they would have arrested him as a known fellon attempting to purchase!
