I conceal carry everywhere I go, so my approach to the public is to avoid confrontation, verbal disputes, and anything that draws attention to myself.
One of those things that should be in every training class. Where I'm from the talking part of an altercation is brief. I won't say anything I won't back up, because I've been in too many fights where backing it up was not optional. As I carry a gun most of the time, that comes into play. The result is you maintain situational awareness and steer clear of problems. I'd hate to be winning a fight only to get shot with my revolver when it goes to ground.
It helps to avoid places and events where you're surrounded by the lower classes. I used to be lower classes, so I know just how little they have to lose versus what I have earned.
All this seems to be lost of the yankees that wind up down here. People just don't know how to behave and don't understand why they are avoided.
