Years of practical experience would have shown you that many times confrontations are not pursued to the "fullest extent of the law" because good common sense dictates that sometimes, enough is enough.

Of course, he might also be detered from acting in your prescense.
Standard challenge: Show us one (1) verifiable, documented/cite anywhere in the 50 states in modern times where an OCer (non-military or LEO) has ever been preemptively taken out/shot. I've also said that no doubt some day such will likely occur, but the resultant per centage compared to non-events will yield something like .0001% or less.
If accosted by a BG, a CCer will look like anybody else and not until the CCer shows his gun will the BG be aware of it. This you consider an advantage?
I've heard the "element of surprise" argument - I'd rather avoid the incident than surprise someone, but that is just me.
Yata hey
