Last I checked -- and I don't feel like googling it so bear with me if it's not true or on shaky ground -- it's generally been found that concealed carriers are less likely to shoot innocent bystanders than cops. So I'd compare the following situations: is having a lot more cops bad? If not, then replacing them with non-police is better, in terms of shooting innocent bystanders. We already have a lot of states where you're allowed to just, like, carry a gun, and it turns out to be no big deal. I think the better counter-argument is that bad people could carry guns, and have a lot more opportunities to use them. But this is based on the assumption that my first sentence in this post is correct.
