When I took my CCW class, the instructor said that the license is a permit, but should also be seen as a restriction. Meaning that when you load up, holster, and walk out the door, you are restricted from some things, like screaming at someone for cutting in line at the store, from flipping out when someone cuts you off in traffic, from yelling at someone for a bad parking job. Basically, you are restricted from doing things that would get you labeled as being an ass. I always thought that was good advice. Our shooter here should have heeded that advice, IMHO.
