You can't buy a handgun without a permit, at least in my state.
Frankly I don't have the time to dig into each and every incident to see if they had a permit or not, nor do I have the time to research the purchase laws in every state.
The point stands. A permit does not make you a good guy. A permit simply means that you've jumped through the legal hoops.
Those incidents were cited simply because there's plenty of media coverage available.
Feel free do do your own research to support your claim.
Here's another little factoid. Yes, CCW holders DO commit unjustified shootings. The rate is arguably lower, but it does happen. Source:

The Violence Policy Center (VPC) says that Florida tops the nation in killings by people with concealed carry permits. VPC has complete years in their data base for 2008 - 2011 for Florida. There are 27 total killings that are unjustified homicides by CCW permit holders, and 14 of those are domestic homicides. The rate of domestic homicides per 100,000 per year is .583 per 100,000 for CCW holders.
