towards what end? imagine using your concealed weapon, you draw on the guy who may or may not notice in the frenzy. so youshoot. who do you hit? asshole bully or victim? even if you got Mr. Pig-ass, do you see the matter ended there? What do you think your day in court would do for you? manslaughter or assault, and a civil suit.
In addition, everybody is saying that the innaction shown was typical of similar situations by by-standers. It may be the shock of disbelief. But whatever, I doubt that carrying concealed weapons will be the answer unless you are a trained professional. I bet that by the time most people would think to draw their weapons, the same time would have passed as when (how many... zero?) people pulled out their cell phone to summon help.
