I use the US as an example because they have the most variety of laws, the most data, and we share a common language.

I'll admit that I don't know what the stats are on either of those things; there's just a perception that men get drunk and violent more often than women do and if they have access to a gun they may use it.
Actually being drunk doesn't even have to factor into it, maybe some guy who just got fired from his job gets t-boned by another guy at an intersection and snaps.
And again these are scenarios that
might happen which I guess is the same justification the law makers are probably using. Perhaps on average carrying a gun in public does no harm at all.
