It wasn't concealed. My state allows open carry. It was no more obtrusive than my bald head, and smaller.
With the SLIGHT difference that your bald head could never kill anybody.

Okay,say they jazzed up your approach (after a hungry attorney contacted them). You circled their table twice with a menacing look, you were cocky when you ask them to pipe down, maybe with some good body language references...
If you used your weapon on them, and the waitress confirmed you circled their table twice, their story will screw you. Especially, if it over noise alone.
Hey, don't trust me on this, ask a defense attorney in your state for the gory details. They'll know.
Bottom line in most states, if it is not felony, use a weapon and you will be screwed.
You confronted a party of ten openly carrying. Over noise. They could articulate a reason for subduing you, possibly using lethal force in the process.
They might get off. You probably would not. When you decided to carry, you took on life and death responsibilities. You may want to consult an attorney with experiece on this issue in you state before you choose to do something like this again.
Also, if you are sued, this whole exchange on FR will be fair game. Choose your online words carefully. FR is a public forum. Welcome to the real world.
