Again, I don't see the correlation between CCW and having a gun. It's not like if the government introduces CCW, everyone suddenly has access to guns...because we already do! I have a possession and acquisition license and I can go to any sporting goods store right now and purchase any non-restricted firearm and take it home today. Criminals can go to their local white van in an alley and purchase any gun regardless of CCW, PAL or other licensing.
