His CCW denial (if they existed then) might have had something to do with his ties to the communist party, and the FBI investigation at the time....maybe.
His CCW denial was due to the racist Southern Democrats at the time. Full-stop.
I have used that line discussing gun rights with Democrats. "You know Democrats have always been going-after guns. When Dr. King wanted to get a handgun to defend himself and his family, the Democrats kept him from getting it. Democrats have always been about dis-arming the innocent."
Shuts them up a lot of the time.
"This will give you an idea of how gun control laws worked. Following the firebombing of his house in 1956, Dr. Martin Luther King, who was, among other things, a Christian minister, applied for a gun permit, but the Alabama authorities found him unsuitable. A decade later, he won a Nobel Peace Prize.
How's that "may issue" gun permit policy working for you? "

The Democrats denying Dr. King a gun permit had everything to do with Democrat douchebaggery, and Democrat bigotry and racism.
Gun-grabbing douchebaggery, bigotry and institutional race-baiting has not left the Democrat Party. Those are still core-ideals of the Democrat Party.
