but my advise is NOT to ever get a concealed carry permit.

You have the wrong attitude to carry a concealed firearm.

This is not meant as an insult. Perhaps you are just attempting to insert some humor into the discussion.

If not, be aware that carrying a concealed weapon is a very serious responsibility. Those who have permits don't go around looking forward to shooting some "perv" just because of simple harassment. The weapon is only to be used in cases of a serious attack that might result in severe injury or death to you or another.

I've had a concealed weapons permit for many years and never had an occasion to draw the weapon for self defense. That's the last thing I would ever want to do. However, given absolutely NO other choice, I will.
