This (and the gun at the party story above) is the exact sort of thing that I was talking about with my previous statement about people carrying weapons and not being trained to use them.
A weapon being drawn elevates a fight and puts you at more risk of having to use/defend against lethal force. It also makes people much more unpredictable. So, if you are carrying a weapon for self defense, you better be well trained in how to use it... otherwise it is a liability.
I seriously doubt the basic course required for owning a concealed gun is enough to train someone how to defend themselves in a life or death situation.
MYK, are you trained in self defense when armed with a knife? If not, you should not be carrying that thing around, ever.
If you're really worried about going out, my advice would be to not go out, or go somewhere else.
