Seems to me, a handgun (concealed or not) has little to do with raising a militia to keeping a government in check.
Get yourself a rifle or a shotgun.

It says 'military style firearm' and we used handguns while I was a marine. I'm sure that they haven't changed that. We can nitpick about this or that but the historical documents and constitution plainly state to 'keep and bear arms', bear means to carry. Now, if all the states were forced to abide by the constitution and not prosecute open carry then i'm sure that people wouldn't have a problem doing that, I know I wouldn't, but you know as well as I do that the nuttier bradys and anti gun groups would hound every firearm carrier in the hopes of causing an incident in order to further their agenda, therefore, concealed makes better sense. If you don't see it, you don't have to worry about it.
It's also not just about keeping a government in check, its about being able to defend yourself and family or your fellow man. Let's not forget that there are people out there that prey on the weak. we call them criminals.
