That regulation varies from state to state. It is not in place in Pennsylvania, for example.
IIRC, less than 2% of CCW holders become involved in crimes, less than that for murders. I ran across a report from Utah that said that in 8 years they revoked 4 CCWs because of murders committed by the holders, which is much lower than the number of murders committed over the same period by non CCW holders.
The bar guy is an obvious dumbass. Carrying a weapon has a lot of the same kinds of responsibility attached as taking control of a motor vehicle.
(aside: Warch, if your coworkers have any problems related to watching the guy jump and your employer doesn't have it's own EAP, you can probably request services from your local Critical Incident Stress Management team.)
