====Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act====

In 1995, questions arose when the Caddo Sheriff's department under Hathaway denied a gun permit to a Shreveport liquor store clerk, Philip Russell Coleman. When Coleman was informed of the sheriff's department decision, he told the pawn shop owner where he intended to buy a weapon that he would go to see the deputies in an attempt to resolve the matter, which Coleman assumed was a "mistake." Before Coleman could get his weapon permit, however, he was shot to death in a holdup. He was forty-two. Hathaway said that there was apparently justification for initially denying Coleman's application but that when Coleman came to the office, his application was approved. National [[radio]] commentator [[Paul Harvey]] aired the Coleman story on one of his broadcasts. Many used the Coleman case to show the unintended consequences of the James [[Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act]] of 1993, which requires a waiting period for background checks for citizens seeking to purchase handguns.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hoboes.com/pub/Firearms/Books%20and%20News/Gun%20Control%20Kills/Dying%20for%20a%20Waiting%20Period/|title=Murdered Clerk Had Sought Handgun for Protection|author=Dunstan Prial|date=August 17, 1995|publisher=''The Shreveport Times''|accessdate=June 18, 2014}}</ref>
