An increase in gun ownership, coupled with more states offering concealed carry permits, and of course more people actually carrying weapons, it absolutely refutes the anti-gun argument of this scenario causing more violent crime since statistically violent crime has in the same period been in decline ... at least in areas where concealed carry ore open carry has also been on the rise.

The facts def seem in favor in an increase of law abiding citizens carrying more weapons indeed decreasing crime, so I guess you're right pulse
