Philando Castile's girlfriend Diamond Reynolds says Castile was armed and told the officer that he had a permit to carry.

She says Castile was reaching for his ID when he was shot.

Minnesota's gun carry permit records are not public, so MPR is not able to confirm whether Castile did have a permit or not.

But to get or renew a permit in the state, you have to go through training.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Lucky Rosenbloom, a certified Firearms Instructor based in St. Paul, about where the law stands on disclosing weapons to the police, and how race plays into that equation.
