St. Louis County Gun Instructor 'Cut Corners' on Concealed Carry Training

Several St. Louis County residents who believe they completed the mandatory training to receive a concealed carry permit may not actually meet state requirements.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that two undercover officers who took a concealed carry class confirmed at least one gun instructor, Donald Crangle, 'cut corners' on proper training. Crangle is being charged with multiple counts of falsifying documents, according to the report.

"Police are now enlisting other jurisdictions to identify the scope of the problem and are trying to decide what to do with at least 1,770 people toting guns in public on Crangle’s say-so," Post-Dispatch reports.

Concealed carry permits can be picked up at the St. Louis County Government complex, 41 South Central, in Clayton.

Officer Randy Vaughn told RFT police officials have not determined how to deal with concealed-carry permit holders trained by Crangle.
