I agree with MidTNKayakAngler. Safety is in numbers. Additionally, be aware of your surroundings in all situations. A concealed carry does you no good if you put yourself in a very bad situation. I don't know what happened at the Mona ramp that day, but I am sure there may be things that we can all learn from when the details come out. On more than one occasion I have instructed my partner where to park the truck so there are no vulnerable spots when approaching. This may sound overly paranoid, but being someone that has had to draw their carry weapon...that is not a position I ever want to be in again. On that day, I put myself in a bad situation and almost had to fight my way out of it. Luckily the barrel of a pistol shoved in his face was enough deterrent.
