Pardon me, but there's a distinction to be drawn between concealed carry and home defense.

Unless you really feel the need to carry a weapon given the simple fact that you can't defend yourself without it. Either way, when you leave your home, it's no longer home defense.

And when it's concealed and you're in a public place, it's a concealed weapon.

Get it? Let me illustrate further. I have recently moved to one of the murder capitals of the US, deliberately so. Dusk is coming soon. I think I'll take an evening walk. Just as I often take a pre-dawn walk. Right through the middle of it. When I take a walk, I do arm myself. With a book or newspaper.
That's all I need. The only weapons I've ever had to use for self defense in public have been a golf club, a stick, a knife that was in my car and the look in my eyes.

So tell me, What social or combat skills do you lack that make it necessary for you to carry a firearm in public places?

Or are you just a sad political operative who's a cowardly piece of crap, terrified of interacting with people who don't subscribe to the same horsecrap that you've sadly married yourself to? You're afraid.

You're a coward. You're not a man who can walk down the street without a weapon.
