I'm alert enough to consistently recognize concealed weapons (I assume that most of these are legally carried based on the appearances of the people, and that they are probably concerned about the recent wave of gang violence in the area.) I'm 6'8" and around 300 pounds, and I'm getting around to getting my concealed carry permit soon.

There are a few things I know about self defense. First, if we're both unarmed I'd beter be a hell of a lot bigger than the other guy to be sure I can win. Second, stunguns and tasers are useless. Third, pepper spray is worthless unless you have a knife to back it up. Fourth, I wouldn't trust anything smaller than .40 to protect me. Fifth, never bring a knife to a gunfight.
