That’s the thing that anti-gunners don’t really understand. People have been taking guns everywhere pretty much since guns were invented that could be safely tucked under a coat. There were no laws against it until the 19th Century, for the most part. Unsurprisingly, even with those laws in place, criminals kept carrying concealed guns anywhere they wanted because the odds of them getting caught with it were so small, but the law abiding stopped.
The very least, is that concealed carry laws give people who care about respecting the law, the option to do the same as what the criminals have always done.

Anti gunners love to use "wild west" as a negative phrase but just like now, the "wild west" was safer than cities.
