The above link is to the brady group's study of "Law abiding permit holders". They list about 148 permit holders who have broken the law with a firearm ie: murder, impersonating an officer, etc.
They claim this was only a "fraction" of the incidents they uncovered. Although having 148 incidents listed as opposed to 150-200 or a nice even number leads me to beleive this was all they found.
Assuming that they found every CCW holder who broke the law and this was 148 cases...in Florida alone in 2007 had 60,000 FEMALE permit holders (undisclosed # of males).
This "article" by the brady campaign uses statistics from all over the country, so for fun we'll say there are only 60,000 people licensed to carry in the entire country(there are many many many more).
If 148 of 60,000 broke the law that means that 0.246% of permit holders broke the law...
