A sheriff’s department in Colorado apologized after receiving criticism for posting a picture of Santa Claus applying for a concealed handgun permit days after the school shooting in Oxford, Michigan.

“Guess who came in to receive his Concealed Handgun Permit today?” the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office tweeted Friday with a Santa emoji. “Did you know the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office has issued 49,750 Concealed Handgun Permits with another 2,560 awaiting to be issued?”
