But, having many people carrying weapons all the time, concerns me. Because there will be cases where people fight over random stuff, and it's possible that someone will use a gun then.
I don't have any data to back this up. But I feel the deathtoll caused from having many people armed all the time would be higher than the amount of lives saved in specific cases like this one.

I agree with your reasonable gut feeling. For example, just think of all the chaos and insanity that is caused by Black Friday and American consumerism. Now imagine that everyone is armed.
Overall, it's a very sad story that unfortunately, but not surprisingly, has rewarded infamy.
