Doubtful.And had any of the people in that club been carrying a legal concealed carry weapon Omar probably wouldn't have shot / killed as many people as he did.Gun laws are always a failure and they only punish the law abiding citizen that never was going to use the firearm for a crime in the first place.
Do you think Omar was intending to do this a year ago? Five years ago? Or was he a "law-abiding citizen" whose mental illness hadn't manifested yet?
The problem is that we have 33,000 gun deaths a year, and most of them were "law abiding" up until the day they shot themselves or someone else.
A gun doesn't make one bulletproof.
