“The class that I was in warned that this perceived power could lead to real trouble.

The whole idea of CCW is to protect yourself when accosted. It does not give you license to pursue and engage suspicious persons walking down a public street.

You have that right without a gun so why would you believe you don’t have that right with a gun? You were taught wrong.

It does not give you license to pursue and engage suspicious persons walking down a public street.

One of the first things they teach you about concealed carry is you do NOT do anything with a gun that you would not to without it. You don't follow strange men. you don't pick fights. You don't do anything you would avoid doing unarmed. If you do then you open yourself up to prosecution. If I am unarmed and pick a fight with someone that can beat me everyone would call that stupid. If I am ARMED and do that then that might be murder. It is just too darn easy to get in a fight and then blow someone away.
