I'm actually not that concerned about people carrying concealed, provided that:

1. They have a permit
2. The permit requires them to have training to operate said weapon, and be of sound mind.

More worrisome than concealed carry are the dicks who open carry. That to me strikes me as more attention seeking than the average Joe who has a concealed permit and actively avoids trouble.
