Well, there are liberal carry laws in place in Arizona, Virginia, and
several
other states. I don;t hear of widespread killings there. My ex carries all
the time and has yet to kill anyone or even draw her weapon. The
deterrent value is undesputed in those states that allow one to carry
or at least have a weapon in their home.

As a very famous person once said: An armed society is a polite society.

the most polite society in America ever was the society in the Wild West
of the
1880's, when even young women packed a six gun and often a rifle as well.
At
lot of people died, but they were most usually polite to each other right
up
until the firing started.
