Possibly.
Or it could have made it worse, should the wrong person have gotten the weapon, or someone inappropriately tried to be a hero.

If the madman was killed, wouldn't there be questions for years about "Why"? .."why did he do it"... and so on?


This was a horrible crime, and people who were on that bus will have nightmares, but the way that it turned out was about as "good" as it could have (given that the victim never had a chance) - no one else was hurt, the bad guy was caught, and there might be a chance to find out why he did it.
Given that, I'm not sure how a concealed weapon (aka Concealed Carry Weapon) could have helped in this situation in any way.
