There is an issue here about who started the confrontation. If someone says something to you and you respond verbal without physically moving toward that person you are probably clear. However if you move forward, speak in an aggressive manner and make a physical gesture or contact it could be construed that you escalated the situation. If so even then if you are attacked the level of the bar to prove you were defending yourself just got real high.

A 300 pound guy pounding on you will not justify using you gun if it can be construed you started or escalated the confrontation when you knew you had a gun, especially if the assailant did not know you did.

I am not sure in this case who did what and how. Yet, a good rule of thumb is do not start or escalate any confrontation while carrying your gun. Its a no win situation
