Lamont Gist tried to renew his concealed carry permit just out of the city, at a less crowded sheriff’s office with open appointments.
Gist started recording his visit to the Portage County Sheriff’s Department because he couldn’t believe he was being denied a CCW renewal.
“I got my social; I got both my IDs right here, how can you not establish my identity? You’re not explaining to me why.,” he said to deputies in the cell phone footage.
Gist says he originally got his CCW in 2016 after a man robbed and shot him near St. Clair and East 112th street.
“I just know I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and luckily I made it out alive,” Gist said.
He says he still has one of the bullets in his body.
