Not only can anyone carry a gun in their car, anyone can carry a gun on their person. Do people really believe that criminals (or others) don't carry guns when feel the need to? I knew several people in L.A. who always carried guns regardless of whether they had licenses or not. I don't think the gun law has any impact whatsoever on whether criminals carry guns. And in the case of the bouncer who was shot, whether the killer had a license or not is most likely irrelevant. I sure you could find many cases of bouncers being killed by unlicensed guns.

The probability of the average citizen using a gun to protect themselves from criminal assault is about the same as winning the lottery. The probability of being killed by someone with a license to carry one is even smaller. This all breaks down to whether you "feel" carrying guns is a good idea or not.
