HOWEVER BE A GOOD WITNESS UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE THE OTHER PERSON WITH A GUN IS TRULY A BG
OR THIS CAN HAPPEN. John was 51 not in his 40's as this report soon after the whole incident happened.

ONE OTHER ITEM
Take a CCW class where they discuss the law and not their career as a LE.
Multiple members here offer quality classes my self included. Starting at the basic level up to very advanced ones in hand gun, rifle & shot gun.
THIS! Touche! You do not, let me put that in bold, You do not have any duty to act in the event of a crime- like Jim said, be a good witness, unless you feel that there is imminent threat to your life, the shot you don't take may in fact be the best decision. Remember: Once you pull that trigger there is no going back, and wherever that round goes you are responsible for it.

As far as establishments that don't allow firearms- I don't frequent them, so I carry everywhere except federal property, K-12 schools and locales with metal detectors... I also don't really look for signage that says no firearms- concealed means concealed.

Jim- side note, I'd love to take one of your advanced hand gun classes someday!
