Mil... don't worry about that "dim warehouse".... Pray you're never in a dispute in a restaurant -then find more than one of them waiting for you in a parking lot as you leave or get in a fender bender with a carload of kids - all armed.... Nothing dramatic about any of this except that unlike many parts of the country south Florida has more than it's share of macho types with big egos, well armed, and coming from parts of the world where any dispute is a personal matter and not one that's going to be resolved with a fist fight... When you also consider that they're quite likely to be poorly educated, struggle with English, and are still juveniles... There just might be something to be concerned about, and I was years ago.
The good news for me at least is that in the last 20 years in retirement I've managed to avoid that sort of stuff mostly (but not entirely - no, I won't be telling any war stories....). You're probably right that most are only concerned with the unlikely possibility of a street robbery or having someone try to enter their house when they're home..... Me, I'd like to get through the rest of my life without any confrontations at all.... particularly since I don't carry a firearm on my person since I retired.
