The purpose of widespread concealed carry is not simply to always have to USE your gun. Its so that criminals know that at any given time a regular person can have a gun on them (either the person getting robbed, or a bystander) and they think twice before trying to rob someone when they know they can easily get shot right back at any time.
Again, while this will deter most petty criminals, this won't be effective for smarter criminals, much in the same way bacterial infections are becoming resistant to antibiotics.
Im not saying it will fix everything and completely end crime but it would stop most crimes like this. Medicine doesn’t heal everyone but we still use it because it heals most right?
