How does a concealed weapon deter criminals from mugging you?
Doesn't the idea of deterence hinge upon the offender knowing the consequences?
It seems to me that if you claim to be carrying a gun to intimidate or thwart crime against your person then you wouldn't want it stuffed inside your clothes where no one else could see it.
