To answer your question (highlighted in bold), not that we're aware of. The members of these forums are constantly on the lookout for incidences of such nature. We're also attempting to keep tract of events in which lawful OC'ers have used there weapons in self-defense or defense of another.
As far as stats go, concerning lawful OC'er or CCers crossing the line and carrying out illegal violantacts, it appears that it's been CCer's doing that. And that has been extremely rare in relation to the total number of lawful carriers.
It also appears that CCer's are more likely to have to use their weapons to stop a crime than OC'ers. We only know of a few documented cases in which an OCer has been involved in a defensive shooting. Dang near all incidences of lawfull carriers using their firearms defensively have been by CCer's, as best we can tell.
It's really hard to tabulate statistics on events (such as how many crimes are deterred by OC) when no one but the criminal knows of the occurences. Maybe if we ask nicely, the criminals will start furnishing us with this important data.
