I agree with you, although I realize other people might have their own opinions about fleeing if you are armed. My first concealed carry class instructor taught us something very much like this, although he used different words. He said:
"1 - Locate the exits when you first enter a place"
"2 - Always be aware of what's going on around you"
"3 - Leave when trouble starts, or if you believe trouble is going to start"
"4 - Don't make yourself a target"
"5 - When it's time to fight, then fight and fight to win. But not before it's time".
And how do you know when it's time to use your concealed weapon to fight? Well, that's the hard part, I guess. I've never had to make that call, and I'm really hoping never to have to make that call.
” how do you know when it’s time”
Aside from the obvious, you know when people start gathering to watch.
Like rubbernecking for accidents, most people are suckers for action. Don’t be a lemming.
Besides, much better to get out of the area before the cops lock it down and you’re stuck there 48 hours while they interview and search everybody.
