Let's say you're carrying, CCW, and as much as you try to avoid it and defuse the situation, someone who is really ticked off over something, or drunk, or who knows what insists on starting a fight with you - and there's no where to run.
Now, for sake of arguement, let's say you don't live in a deadly-force friendly state (read: Flordia, or the like), and you don't feel this guy is trying to kill you, just wants to start something, so you're not justified in drawing. If you draw, he may advance on you anyway, and you'd be in a world of legal trouble if you shot him.
Also, for arguments sake, let's also assume you're very confident that you could "take" this guy if it came down to it. However, you don't want him to end up wrestling your CCW away from you and using it on you.
How would you carrying affect how you would react in a normal justified hand-to-hand situation?
I try to carry a bottle of fox labs spray with me whenever I can, but it seems most people around here don't, so just curious as to what you'd do.
