Particularly when that someone might be able to dish out more punishment. That's the reason I carry a legally concelable knofe (blade length under 4" in most states). I can take that one anywhere, without the need for my permit. Add the gun when I am in legal areas, and there you go.

If deterence is your rationale, why do you
conceal them?
It seems to me that a
visable weapon would deter would-be attackers more than a
hidden one.
