What if CJ was a cop, or an ex-cop, or the group was planning for the right moment to kill the owner, beat the waitress to death, steal the money, and burn the joint down?
All these negative comments immediately dive for the FUD factor.
People who think this way are the ones who don't, won't shouldn't carry, because they're the ones most likely to shoot themselves.
A CCW in NY, yes, NY.
Perfectly fine, had CJ witnessed such an event beginning. Lots of drunk (but 100% LEGAL) rowdiness doesn't equate to that in any book.
LOL! What if they were a bunch of terrorists with a suitcase bomb.
You can what if it to death but the simple fact is they were a bunch of kids winding down the weekend. If you propose a gun on your hip gives you a right to intimidate others you completely misunderstand the concept behind right to carry laws which is to protect yourself in extremis, not threaten others if they annoy you.

You can "what if" all you want. A weapon in a civilized society is for self defense. If they were molesting the staff, don't show the weapon, use the weapon.
They were not robbing the place. They were not hurting anybody. We don't even know if they were even being that loud.
If you are packing, it is your responsiblity to have a thick skin and demonstrate better than average judgement.
