haq had a CCW
i have made the point that, in my experience, the vast majority of CCW holders are law abiding, and do not use their guns for crime. and that i was not personally aware, of any local case where a CCW holder committed a felony with a gun

well, in the interests of intellectual honesty, i am pointing out that in this seattle shooting case, the suspect apparently DID have a CCW.

and used his gun, apparently, to murder one, and injure several others.

from
http://corner.nationalreview.com/
The Seattle Times (h/t Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch) has more background on Naveed Afzal Haq, the man who yesterday shot six women, one fatally. We learn that his father was a founder of a local Islamic center; he was more studious and serious than the average high school kid; he has a pending indecent exposure; he is licensed to carry a concealed weapon; he is single, childless and may currently be jobless; his landlady thought he had recently gone to Pakistan; and he often talked with a neighbor about guns, politics and his disdain for President Bush. Details here

and yes, i read the corner. i also read the nation, mother jones, reason, and many other political wesbites. so spare me the accusations in advance :)
