I think Washington state has some of the most liberal gun laws, basically you have to have a good reason NOT to get a concealed permit. I don't hear about too many of these things happening there.

However it could though. Most of these cases are buy people that purchased weapons legally and are carried out in areas where concealed weapons are not allowed anyway, even if you had a permit. Here in MI you can get one, but where you can actually carry is pretty limited.
