All of this feedback has been extremely helpful, and upon hearing it all I've decided to err on the side of caution by carrying my M&P40 Shield.

It's a little inconvenient and possibly a bit uncomfortable to go for walks in the Summer wearing cargo shorts rather than a pair of drawstring jogging shorts, but I'd much rather sweat from the heat than be sweating out of anxiety over the thought that my LCP might not be enough if I get attacked by a pack of wild dogs or something.
