So the guy who shot the bouncer last year, then jumped in the river, was sentenced to 36 years. I never did hear any more details on the shooting. Did he have a gun with him, or go home to get it, or ...?

Went home and got the gun.

What bothered me was the news reports, that referred to him as "a concealed and carry permit holder", instead of something like "convicted felon".

This was what bothered me as well.

The shooting was entirely unrelated to his carry permit status. I'll bet he had a driver's license, too, and used a car to get to the bar, but we didn't hear him referred to as a "driver's license holder".
