I love people watching, especially what they’re wearing?\u00a0 Are they a concealed carrier like myself?\u00a0 Are they distracted all the time?\u00a0 Are they making themselves easy targets for the criminal element?\u00a0 Do they blend in with the crowd or do they draw a lot of attention like a tricker treater knocking on doors during Thanksgiving day?<\/p>\n
As a concealed carrier, you’ll be carrying extra gear just in case something DOES happen where you may end up defending for your life and possibly giving first aid to yourself or others.\u00a0 Depending on what you’ll be carrying and how you’ll conceal it, this will be the first steps in determining what type of clothing that you’ll be wearing.\u00a0 There are tactical clothing out there, but some of it looks tactical, something that you should avoid if you’re going to be walking around in public, especially wearing camouflage.\u00a0 These people really stick out and it broadcasts “I am into firearms”.\u00a0 I was just at a buffet a few hours ago and I quickly noticed someone wearing a camouflage hoody.\u00a0 Then I noticed that they were printing on their hip.\u00a0 It was a full-size pistol.\u00a0 This just took under 2 seconds to discover that he too was carrying concealed.\u00a0 Now if I was a criminal, this person would be my target, either in the bathroom if he decided to visit the restroom, or out in the parking lot.\u00a0 I may even have a few friends of mine assist me in the ambush and he would probably never know it was coming since I never saw this man use situational awareness during the entire time he walked in, fed himself and left.<\/p>\n
You don’t want to stick out and be identifiable as someone who may be possibly armed, you want to mix in with the rest of the crowd.\u00a0 You want something that will conceal your gear and blend in with those around you.\u00a0 I have found some great clothing out their that will hide almost everything in your shirt, pants\/shorts and jacket.\u00a0 Some that I have purchased have little tags on them telling those around me who the company or name brand is.\u00a0 I remove these tactical name brands since I don’t want someone thinking that I am carrying something of value (like a sidearm) and make me a target.\u00a0 Remember, criminals also surf the web and know the same things as you, especially with firearms, clothing and just about anything else to find their targets.<\/p>\n
With your EDC (Every Day Carry) gear, you want the most lightest, smallest, dependable and most concealable gear possible.\u00a0 For your clothing selection, you want to make sure that your gear is accessible within seconds, it’s not noticeable and feels comfortable while wearing.\u00a0 There are several companies that have clothing for both women and men who want to conceal their firearm and their gear.\u00a0 Everyone is different in their needs, so you will have to do the research by reading posts by others (not on the vendor’s website), reviews in magazines or books and word of mouth.\u00a0 Don’t trust what you read on the vendor’s website.\u00a0 I have posted a couple of stars on products that I have tested, but they hardly ever release those posts to the general public.\u00a0 They want to promote their own products and negative comments will reduce sales.\u00a0 Do you ever wonder why most posts have 5 stars?\u00a0 So go outside the vendor and read other people’s reviews that are not associated with that company.\u00a0 Not all websites are like this, but some are.<\/p>\n
So as a concealed carrier, make sure you blend in with the crowd, be the gray ghost and don’t make yourself a target.\u00a0 This will save your life.\u00a0 And when shit does hit the fan, you’ll be the last person they would assume to be carrying a firearm.\u00a0 So try not to be a “Tactical Tom” or “Tactical Tammy”.<\/p>\n
Be safe out there, be the responsible firearm owner and always follow the \u201cConcealed Carry Creed\u201d!!!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Do you know of someone who goes to work and dresses like they’re preparing for the end of the world?\u00a0 Do they dress every day like its “Tactical Tuesday”?\u00a0 Are\u00a0 people noticing the extra gear (EDC – Every Day Carry) by the bulge in their pockets?\u00a0 Would they be considered a Tactical Tom or…
