I am elderly, way to elderly to be capable of defending myself if needed. I also have a CCW license, unlike you I carry whenever I am out and about in public,like you I am very very careful to stay out of situations that possibly lead to an sort of confrontation.. I will never be the instigator of any trouble and I will do anything within my abilities to stay out of and or walk away from anything that could lead to a fight of any sort...Having said that I do not feel that I must allow anyone to beat me up or cause serious harm to another... I sincerely hope that I will never ever find a need to use my weapon and will run if possible..
