But then he may well be so spaced out that the problem could be resolved by a good swift kick in goolies!!!!!

I'm not sure concealed carry is the solution you think it is.

Organised thugs can/may disperse themselves so as to overwhelm the victim before they could respond by shooting.
It may actually produce a hit first policy from the thugs - not sure if that's what society would want.
