Here, I found some statistics that show most people who carry aren't what you're describing: - North Carolina reports 0.2% of their 263,102 holders had their license revoked in the 10 years since they have adopted the law — a lower proportion than the crime rate among North Carolina police officers. Revocation of license is for any criminal conviction, and need not involve an illegal firearm usage. Revocations typically arise from DUI.
- Of the 14,000 licenses issued in Oregon, only 4 individuals (0.03%) were convicted of criminal (though not necessarily violent) use or possession of a firearm.
Here's a link to read about gun issues:

I think you missed the point. "You" and "criminal" are not going to be able to keep it between the two of you in any "urban encounter" in a public place. You said it would only be the criminal or the carrier getting killed. I don't believe that. If you don't like bar, bank or liquor store, how about grocery store, post office and gas station?
Anyhow, so far you have linked to a site call canadiangunnutz and also to what appears to be a post on a message board. It's kind of like saying "Ford makes great cars, and if you don't believe me, ask people who love Ford cars". You aren't going to make many sales with that strategy.
Speaking of cars, I found out that 42 thousand people died in automobile accidents in the States in 1999. The latest link you provided says 35 thousand people in the States die annually from gunshot wounds. That site seems to go pretty fast and loose with the facts, but I'll believe that one. Wow.
