Statement from Adam Putnam on concealed weapon licensing story

Posted on June 8, 2018

Please see the following statement from Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam in response to today’s Tampa Bay Times article on the concealed weapon licensing program:

“To be clear, a criminal background investigation was completed on every single application. Upon discovery of this former employee’s negligence in not conducting the further review required on 365 applications, we immediately completed full background checks on those 365 applications, which resulted in 291 revocations. The former employee was both deceitful and negligent, and we immediately launched an investigation and implemented safeguards to ensure this never happens again.”
