"Then wait until you are in a bar one night and 10 percent of them are packing, no there won't be any problems with that at all."
No idea what you are getting at, but if it's something negative against the right to carry a weapon, look no further than Florida for the facts.
Florida adopted a right-to-carry law in 1987. Between 1987 and 1996, these changes occurred:
Florida United States
homicide rate
-36% -0.4%
firearm homicide rate
-37% +15%
handgun homicide rate
-41% +24%221,443 concealed carry licenses were issued in Florida between October of 1987 and April of 1994. During that time, Florida recorded 18 crimes committed by licensees with firearms.
As of 1998, nationwide, there has been 1 recorded incident in which a permit holder shot someone following a traffic accident. The permit holder was not charged, as the grand jury ruled the shooting was in self defense.
As of 1998, no permit holder has ever shot a police officer. There have been several cases in which a permit holder has protected an officer's life.
I would imagine you're using the same logic when you said all the bars would be closing up shop when the smoking ban went into effect. Which of course, didn't happen.
