I've been the victim or a witness to near-violent acts of crime and I can say from experience that the worst feeling is not the random act itself, but the awful feeling that you cannot intervene or protect yourself.
I'm also not saying that a CCW would have stopped the young man from being brutally murdered. The spontaneous nature of the act certainly would have resulted in death, regardless if one of the passengers or the driver had been armed. However, in other acts of crime I can see CCW helping average citizens prevent crime. It has worked in certain jurisdictions of the United States that suffer from disproportionate rates of violent crime and rapes.
