I do not have a emergency carry permit experience. I do however have a ccw permit. I dont know about your particular situation and thats ok.
However if you feel you are endangered (and you may well be) please keep in mind everything you are taught in ccw class plus (and I am saying this only with good will) please keep in mind whatever is behind and beside whereever you may have to shoot in a self defense situation.
I believe 200% in the right to keep and bear arms and self defense but in your interest I want to mention this.
A laser is a plus for many people and practice at a range (and more practice) is a significant plus.
Best of luck whatever your situation and if you are forced to defend youself for any reason I wish you the best of luck.
You may want to do some searching in this forum for some "tips and hints" that may be informative to you.
