I do disagree with the last line though; it's actually the opposite. If a criminal thinks someone is carrying a gun, there is a HUGE chance they will just give up before they even commit the crime. Why do you think they specifically target areas with no guns, like schools and movie theatres? They know nobody can stop them, there.
That's a difference of opinion. If everyone around me was carrying a gun, and there was any type of conflict, such as an argument, such tensions soon become something greater. But that's all perspective, none the less, your critisism that the article should have pointed out "carrying the following will stop the following" isn't exactly the purpose of it, from what I read it's "After everything fails".
Again opinion/context/perspective.
