Whether you would have gotten involved if you didn't have a gun is a VERY important question. The fact that you had a gun should not have been part of your decision here.

I am frequently amazed by how folks take a completely average situation and in their heads it becomes something larger - simply because they have a gun.

In a situation like that the most likely thing that would have happened is you got yourself into a fist fight with a guy who is not in the same mental place that you are (and by your own admission has you by 50lbs). What would your gun have to do with that? How well trained and capable are you of handling yourself if the guy had thrown a punch or tackled you to the ground? If you are not a competent grappler, don't insert yourself into a situation where you might have to grapple with someone.

Everyone agrees that a CHL is not a batman license, using it as such can be fatal (for your or others) and/or very, very expensive.
