Concealed carry might be a good way to reduce violent crime where guns have already saturated the populace - but in the UK, we are a long way from reaching this state of affairs. I might dig out the various crime figures to compare between one country and another, but of course there are many other factors that effect crime figures other than the availability of deadly weaponry, so I wonder how much it would actually prove.
Sorry for taking us off topic, but I just wanted to counter ziadel's suggestion that arming people is the answer.
