While I'm very happy with the news, I'm saddened as well. Mr. Black should not have been carrying a firearm but at the same time if their brethren were not such pieces of scat to begin with, carrying out carnage upon his community at a horrific rate, none of this would be necessary.
It comes down to the basic constitutional protections our Founding Fathers put in place at the beginning so that none would have to endure the harshness of over zealous government but here we are. We have a people that have strayed so far from the Bible's teachings that we have fully embraced that we must live with the intent to do harm by the criminal element because we cannot see logically the danger. ::cussing::We have to give every criminal a second chance without even issuing real punishment for the first criminal act therefore, the criminal thinks only that the incarceration or probation of the first act was merely and inconvenience thus never desiring to repent. Top this off, you have the family(s) of the criminals just coddling them to such an extent that said criminal believes that it's the "man" out to get him.
If we had embraced logic then we would all understand that even your family can be the danger and that family has a greater responsibility to come down harshly on their own family members for dishonorable transgressions. In short, we used to recognize the evil and now, rather than do something to prevent further destruction, we make excuses for it thereby condoning it.
Getting back to the subject at hand, we can clearly see that we have a police state than continues to violate our rights for protecting ourselves. Mr. Black should be allowed to carry if he feels his life may be threatened so then why is this a problem? Does society not recognize his life as anything of value? Did he not repent for his prior crime(without specifics I don't know whether the crime was one that involved a gun) in a significant manner(never enough time in prison without possibility of self examination and guidance from a man of the cloth{and I don't mean an Imam}).
There was always a good possibility that a man or woman could be returned to society that is if society valued the teachings of the Holy Bible if we put effort into punishment and rehabilitation however, with society as being such as it is today this will never happen because as a whole, we are no longer that which is a religious one. If there was a place to go I think most of us would but there isn't any where a fresh start is possible. Enjoy the show and popcorn

as we slide further into the abyss.
