The good: You were aware of your surroundings as well as ingress/egress from the store, and you carry a knife which allows for another possible force option. Also, you made eye contact with the interesting parties, indicating that you are not likely to be an easy target.

The bad: going to a convenience store in the evening. Given that 7PM isn't dark this time of year, not really as risky as it might have been in darker hours. Also, no ability to carry a handgun yet (glad to hear that is in the works).

The ugly: ingress/egress from a vehicle is always prone to moments of relative vulnerability. Drawing from certain holsters while seated/buckled in a vehicle can likewise be more difficult than standing our sitting outside the vehicle.
