I don't pick fights. If you pick a fight, and are carrying at the time, you get mashed. Every time, end of story. Even if you don't pull it out, you get a neat charge. Get this logic...
Because you are carrying, any fight you enter into willingly, that is not in justified defense of your life or another person's life, it's a felony.
Because you are carrying while committing a felony, you get another charge called "possession of a handgun while committing a felony."
