Is it shoot-to-kill in self-defense with a concealed weapons permit?

This is a difficult question to answer, because of several things. The following answer should be considered to be a very basic answer:
First, under general deadly force laws, you are not justified in shooting or even shooting at a person unless you are justified in klling that person. So, in that respect, yes.
However, in a general sense, in self defense, you shoot to stop the attack, whatever that means under the given circumstances. Under most circumstances, you are no longer justified in shooting once the attack stops, so if you fire one shot, hit the person in the arm, and the person turns around and runs off, you are no longer justified in shooting at him. Another possibility is, you shoot the person in the chest, he falls down, but is only unconscious, not dead. So, in that respect, no, it isn't shoot to kill.
Another point is, if you tell a police officer you intended to kill the attacker, that COULD cause problems in court.
