This could be made into a really good argument. Possibly, to the mind of a potential "crowd shooter", an honest person with a gun is a scary proposition. Also, maybe people who carry concealed weapons are loaning more security to others than we think. Thoughts?

Most of the gun rights arguments have already been made. The recent decision in Illinois to allow concealed carry is having a chilling effect on violent crime.
One Year After Concealed Carry, Chicago Homicide Rate Plunges to 56-Year Low

On the heels of a new subpoena from a federal grand jury in Chicago seeking records about Gov. Pat Quinn’s (D-Ill.) botched 2010 anti-violence program, the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative, a new poll from YouGov reveals that Chicago – one of the most heavily regulated cities in America when it comes to guns – is seen as the most dangerous city in America. It’s followed closely by New York City, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., three other cities that are also known for their strict gun control laws.

Do this nationwide and you'll cut down all violent crime most ricky tic.
Hell President Bush forgot the most powerful anti-crime folks out there, the veterans. I'd like to see a bill that grants a nationwide concealed carry for all combat MOS veterans. They already have it for cops, why not retired veterans. To go even further allow all Special Forces, SEAL, Ranger, and Marine Special Ops to carry anytime, anywhere, no restrictions not even in an airplane or nuke plant.
Want to reduce crime 1000 fold in just one year, violent gangs would become a memory, drug cartel members would be running for their lives.
Just Arm the Veterans.
