This in WaPo?

Yes, but as usual the slimy WaPo has to put a negative spin on it in their story:

There is little consensus on the efficacy of concealed weapons in reducing crime, however. Although supporters of concealed weapon ownership argue that it discourages crime, some studies have shown it has no effect. Other studies have found it actually increases crime.

Anecdotal evidence abounds on both sides of the argument.

In January, a man in Renton, Wash., just a few miles away from Burien, brought his concealed weapon into a movie theater. Dane Gallion was reportedly worried about public shootings. Instead of stopping one, however, he committed one, shooting a woman in the back in what his attorney later claimed was an accident. Gallion was arrested and charged with third-degree assault.

Similarly, a Michigan woman was charged with misdemeanor reckless use of a handgun after she shot at shoplifters fleeing a Home Depot in October. After she was sentenced to 18 months probation, Tatiana Duva-Rodriguez said she would “never help anybody again.”

Both individuals were stripped of their rights to carry concealed weapons.
