July 2009 - Crime: Attempted first degree murder
http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090727/NEWS01/907270323
Charles Alexander Diez, a firefighter and CCW permit holder since 2007, got out of his car and stopped Alan Ray Simons and his wife to complain because he didn't agree with the idea of people riding bicycles with children on back. When Simons attempted to walk away from him, Diez attempted to shoot him in the back of the head. Luckily, while the bullet went through the helmet, it missed Simon's head. Diez fled the scene but witnesses took down his number. Police found him at home. Ironically, he was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

A Short Piece Concerning Excellent Prior Research
The first is called, "Where'd They Get The Gun" which documents high profile shootings between 1963 and 2001. Now, this piece doesn't discuss CCW as it documents periods before such laws were in effect, but that said, it analyses incidents where the firearm used in the commission of a crime was purchased legally.
Next, is their study on Texas CCW permit holders, called "License To Kill" which deals with crimes committed between 1996 and 2000.
And finally, in case you thought these guys at VPC had been taking a break, they have the record, "Law Enforcement and Private Citizens Killed By Concealed Handgun Permit Holders" which covers the US between the dates of May 2007 and April 2009.
Read, enjoy and educate. And then send a donation to VPC - they do good work.

No CCW crimes? Look what I found in three hours time
Now either these individuals didn't know how to search, or they didn't want to find because it most definitely can be found. (I must at this time thank two friends Abby and Cathie for getting the ball rolling.)
