My consideration
I carry a firearm/s to keep me or mine from death or grave bodily injury.
Verbal abuse does not bother me, and my stance, demeanor, has always stood me well. Cannot remember the last problem that required removing gun from holster. Last situation I remember was 9 years or so ago--when I was with grandson during an emergency potty break. Do to where we had to stop, and some of the people in the place, my hand was on gun in my pocket as I stood by the toilet door.
Perhaps my training, both military and civilian over the past almost 60 years, and the fact I have carried most of my life, makes me 'deselected', in the type of situations that others become involved.
I also practice 'avoidance' constantly, and try to live with OODA.
One thing I guarantee--if you carry, you will be held to a higher standard.
