Strictly speaking that's the present perfect tense, not a past tense. The present perfect is used for several reasons, such as when talking about a past action that has a result in the present or life experiences up until "now."
In this case it seems that whoever wrote this doesn't know or doesn't care when Cumia lost his CCP, as the present perfect can also be used to talk about a past action that has finished at a point that isn't specified or known. Basically "He had a conceal carry permit once, he lost it. Who knows when. Who cares?"

Sounds like normal behavior of a shock jock

Imagine not being responsible enough not to own firearms? While having strong opinions about firearm laws?

It's like hating basing your opinion of an entire race of people because some behave as shitty as you do

Plus the irony is the NRA supports laws that keep scumbags like Ant from owning firearms.

Exactly, the whole argument by pro gun people is that most people are responsible and can be trusted to own one.
People like Ant mess that up.

Imagine being so frightened that you carry 2 guns with you all the time? If there was a fight do you think nana would lose both guns or just one?

Yeah either that or we can just agree that he's gay.

The Israelis and the Palestinians could agree on that.

"Has had" is present perfect; "Was" and "carried" are simple past.
