\"Shoot<\/a>

Which guy are you?<\/p><\/div>\n

Editor\u2019s Note:<\/strong>\u00a0The following is a syndicated article by author Bob Campbell that first appeared in USCCA\u2019s Concealed Carry Magazine Volume 13, Issue 4, May\/June 2016 under the title, \u201cSHOOT ME! Improper Concealment, Unwanted Attention.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

When strategizing the discreet carry of a concealed weapon, most permit holders look at the issue from only their own perspective. Unfortunately, when it comes to carrying concealed, it isn\u2019t how you view yourself but how the world sees you that matters. Training in spotting weapons that the bearer has attempted to conceal is an important facet of situational awareness; I have lost count of the times trained officers have been surprised by armed felons. I spot guns that I hope are being carried legally on private citizens on a weekly basis as I go about my daily routine.<\/p>\n

Even if the handgun is concealed beneath a covering garment in a properly designed holster, there are physical indicators that can tip others off that you might be armed and certain other behaviors that are dead giveaways. You wish to avoid projecting such indicators while at the same time developing an ability to spot these indicators in others.<\/p>\n

Remember, attackers come in all shapes and sizes and from all types of backgrounds, so profiling isn\u2019t always an adequate tool. Profiling alerts us to the stupid criminals, but we wish to know whether the smart ones are armed as well.<\/p>\n

Neither do we always wish to project a well-armed profile. I sometimes wear my old cop jacket with \u201cRETIRED\u201d stitched across the shield, but I do so because I like it. Conversely, not long ago, I was thinking that perhaps my Royal Robbins jacket and khaki pants were too obvious as I went about my daily chores. Well, perhaps not. I walked into the UPS store and the young lady asked, \u201cAre you going fishing?\u201d I wasn\u2019t exactly quick on the draw and asked what she meant. She replied, \u201cYou look like you are going fishing!\u201d So much for the tactical look \u2026 I did look like I was going fishing. Sometimes, it is the eye of the beholder that matters most.<\/p>\n

All Eyes On \u2026 You<\/h2>\n

Lower-class strong-arm robbers might indeed be seedy looking, but those involved in road rage incidents and the generally psychotic are often well dressed. Such crimes know no social boundaries, but physical indicators of the presence of a firearm are consistent. For example, if you are legally armed, you\u2019ll want to avoid carrying a heavy sidearm in the pocket of a garment that is too light to support the weapon. A jacket that sags to one side is a sure sign that someone\u2019s carrying. Remember: You are supposed to be discreetly armed.<\/p>\n

Most who carry concealed have only concealed the handgun from prying eyes but would not pass a frisk, as most carriers do not practice deep concealment under most circumstances. This reasonable effort at concealment does not invite closer observation, but a physical mannerism that invites a closer look just might show the outline of a pistol in the pocket (and might invite a rap on the skull with a blunt weapon in order to gain control of that pistol). The first indication might be weak, as in the case of a saggy jacket, but the second indication, the outline of a handgun during certain movements, is a stronger indication the individual is armed.<\/p>\n

Another simple indicator is a certain stiffness while walking. Some people even seem to actually rest their elbow on the gun butt when moving about. A reluctance to swing the arm when walking is another indicator you are armed. Let\u2019s face it: If a potential stick-up man gets the idea you are armed, you might as well scream, \u201cShoot me.\u201d He will not take a chance, and if he does choose to confront an armed person, you know dang well that he\u2019s armed too.<\/p>\n

Out for Attention<\/h2>\n

So, what are some of the \u201cshoot me\u201d actions common among concealed carriers? The amateur touches, adjusts and generally gropes the weapon during movement. Sometimes, the root cause of such pawing is a poor holster and\/or a belt that is unsuitable for concealed carry. (If you are carrying with no holster, there is little I can do to help you. Get with the program!) The movements most commonly associated with such behavior are when the concealed carrier stands from a seated position or dismounts his vehicle. A properly fitted holster and gun belt combination will eliminate the need to adjust the gun and a change in the mindset will eliminate the movement.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t always one indicator but several that alert you to the fact that a person is armed \u2014 and it cuts both ways. You might walk with a limp or favor one side of the body if your gun cuts into tender flesh, such as an ankle holster chafing the leg. It is true that a person with a limp will walk with an affected gait, but they will not appear nervous; again, the totality of the situation is important.<\/p>\n

Stop the Presses<\/h2>\n

Simply put, printing is a visible outline of a handgun against a cover garment. Frankly, I thought I had things down pat and did not allow my gear to print, but, recently, I took a few images at the range and learned I was wrong. I was firing one handgun for a report and the images were shot from behind as I ran a pistol through its paces. My carry gun was neatly printing against the fabric of the jacket as I engaged in tactical movement, and though it was neither severe nor constant, it was certainly exhibited. These chance images gave me much food for thought.<\/p>\n

\"Shoot<\/a>

You\u2019re going to have to match your lifestyle to your holster and vice versa. If you allow your sidearm to constantly print and announce the fact that you\u2019re armed, you\u2019re losing most of the tactical advantage concealed carry offers.<\/p><\/div>\n

I should not have to say this, but just because someone \u201cdoesn\u2019t look right\u201d and is carrying a weapon doesn\u2019t mean you are about to be assaulted or that he is an armed robber. Simply take this information into account and ramp up your situational awareness a bit. After all, the individual could be a plainclothes or off-duty cop or a fellow legally and responsibly armed concealed carrier. A sobering thought I often point out in class is that, on practically a yearly basis, one undercover cop will shoot another. There is no more professional and effective group of women and men than those who patrol the subways of New York undercover, but they are at danger of being shot not only by criminals but by their fellow officers in cases of mistaken identity. They are well trained and good at what they do; but they can make mistakes, and so can you.<\/p>\n

An individual that is constantly adjusting something in his pocket might be carrying a handgun without a holster. Holster-less carry is like lifting weights without support or snowboarding barefoot: It just doesn\u2019t make any sense to me at all. But the clearest of all indications of an armed individual is when the weapon is actually observed. The grip frame of the handgun might be seen from beneath the jacket, peeking out of the pocket or even from below. Climbing steps in a short jacket with a handgun on the belt will almost certainly expose the handgun to unwelcome attention. You must use a good gun belt and a properly fitting holster; there are many ways to scream, \u201cShoot me,\u201d but common sense will avoid this exclamation or invitation to trouble.<\/p>\n
