i don't know about anyone else, but i'm fairly nervous about willingly using hand-to-hand techniques in response to an attack while i'm carrying a firearm...
i'd probably try to talk my way out of the situation (if possible) and then try everything i could to leave the situation, but it's highly unlikely i'd do anything other than those two things before i did draw my weapon
it's not that i'm super anxious to pull my weapon and use it, it's that i'm not super anxious to give my attacker the opportunity to pull my weapon and use it
if you're confident in your hand-to-hand techniques to the point that you would take on an armed attacker with them, i don't really see the point in carrying a firearm
that's supposed to be the point of carrying concealed, so that you're ready to react to a threat in a split second
