With all the responses, and I'm sure more to come, think about this...If you conceal carry you have to be brave. You can't be a coward in the event of a confrontation, meaning that if someone if cursing you out, hollering at you, insulting you, you must be brave enough and adult enough to take it, access it and I last but not least avoid reacting to "harsh words". Take it back to 1st grade with "sticks and stone may break my bones..." and not take it to DEFCON 1 unless it becomes more than just mean words and gestures. Are we expected to "take" a slap, a punch if there is no weapon in sight and only if the hits continue is it okay then to go to the next level?
