"In brewing fight over guns, visions of ‘shootouts in Times Square’:

The headline is highly biased. When concealed carry was first proposed, media such as the NYT, that the G&M parrots, were predicting such occurrences. 

Well, over a decade later, with ten of millions of people legally carrying concealed in the US, it hasn't happened; in Times Square, nor at stop lights, nor in shopping centre parking lots. 

Of course, they will point to the rate of gun violence in the US, but fail to point out that it has nothing to do with legal concealed carry/ US gun violence and is a product of inner city criminality by those who do not qualify for concealed carry in the first place.
