Does the job for most situations that require any form of ID.

With the concealed carry permit, your charges are dropped as soon as you show it to the arresting officer. Without it, you face a potential visit to the jail and a legal fight on your hands to get the charges dropped.
The simple fact is, holding a CCP gives you more rights than someone without one. Assuming everyone with a CCP is carrying, or even wants to carry a weapon, is a foolish view.

Is more likely for an armed person to get shot (accidentally or not).... by his own gun. Also many more chances for criminals to obtain a new gun.
Thus reducing the population of criminals!

Say there's a 50% chance that you can out-shoot the bad guy, but carrying a gun makes you 10x more likely to get shot. In this case you're 5x more likely as a result of carrying "protection".
say there's a 42% chance that all statistics are made up on the spot. And at least a 37% chance that these statistics are not among them. I've increased the size of your strawman 10x, which makes it roughly equal to 1/3 the size of the moon.

It's also BS as it assumes the only way to confront evil is with the immediate and direct threat of violence.

One would not assume a greater chance of getting shot with the gun is worth a lesser chance of preventing yourself from getting shot by another gun (or severe harm befalling you in some other way.)
However, deterring criminal activity is a social good, which might induce altruistic citizens to carry concealed weapons despite their increased personal risk.
Not to mention additional freedom; the fact that I CAN walk into a shooting range and run through a box of ammo if I feel like it might well be worth the chance that I'll be careless and hurt myself.

You're right - it's not there. To say "The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" means that there is no part that says "except if you can hide it under your shirt."
Where in the statement "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" do you see anything limiting free speech?
How about in "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized" where does it say "except for if we want to put a GPS tracker on your car, because it's parked on the street in front of your house, rather than in the garage" ?
Why is the Second Amendment allowed to be limited when the others are off limits?
