Plan carefully and train often if you decide to carry.
Study the law.

Be prepared for the ongoing costs.

I post often in the GC&RKBA group: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1172

FYI: I'm not sure where you live but laws vary from place to place. For example, I live in NJ. If you not a government official, 1%er or celebrity, you have no chance of getting a CC permit at all. The person who attacked you is guilty not only of aggravated assault but also, in most places, brandishing.
