Local news reports
William H. Mize Jr., 66, has a court date Thursday on charges of
aggravated battery and carrying a concealed weapon while under the
influence.
Police said Mize and his wife were sitting across from
each other at the restaurant on Jan. 2 when the man reached into his
front pants pocket and accidentally discharged a small pistol, striking
his wife in the leg just above the knee. She was treated at a hospital
and released.
Mize had a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon
but Kansas law does not allow people to carry concealed weapons if they
are under the influence of alcohol. The Longbranch, 8600 Marshall Drive,
serves alcohol.

This one will count as one of the supposedly highly rare incidents involving concealed carry permit holders. The reason, somehow the fact that he has a permit made it into the news.
Or it could be that these things are checked and carry license holders really are as safe as the evidence suggests.
