I'm just as paranoid as every other guy that's carried an AR for Uncle Sam in a foreign land. I like distance unless it's a friendly.
...
Boozin' and most concealed carry laws: Can't carry in a bar anyway, guys. Least not legally according to what I've read. Unlawful to carry in an establishment that serves alcohol in a sit down fashion. Also illegal to drink and concealed carry. Why combine the two anyway? Irresponsible.
...
The closer someone is (under 15 feet), the less likely I am to go for my concealed carry piece... it would be quicker to go hands on with someone than to dig for my gun and get caught up in a dangerous muzzle-goes-where? wrestling match. I'm not a ninja, but I can repeatedly kick well above my head at 6'1" and that gives me plenty of options for striking while defending my vital areas (torso, head) with my arms. A good sidekick to the ribs keeps most charging idjits at bay. It'll also keep you from filling out police paperwork.
All bets are off if the attacker is brandishing a knife or gun (lethal weapons)... I'm diving for cover and/or distance and putting two .38s center mass.
Jackie Chan... I am not.
