This caught my attention (I love to catch a hypocrite), but I don't think it's actually true today.
Various sources indicate she did have a concealed carry permit, due to threats she received from the New World Liberation Front, but that she ditched the revolver she was carrying in her purse, thanks to the permit, at some point in the past (likely in 1982). Here's an article from left-wing biased source MediaMatters, which cites a 1982 WaPo article I couldn't verify (no LexisNexis access):

If you prefer sources from the other side, here's notorious right-wing blogger and floor-shitter Chuck C. Johnson reporting the same (with an entirely different spin):

And here's a post from TheHill, whose political bias (if any) I don't know:

TheHill's post doesn't mention a date, though.
