Subject is wide and concern many factors: starting from our appearance, holsters, up to weapon and ammunition. We have to think, if carrying a weapon concealed we are not showing any external signs that may show something opposite. Here we can recall hostage situation where potentially best look- ing mentally and physically hostage will be killed first. Because potentially that wealthy hostage can be dangerous for attackers and disturb realization of their plans. We have to think do we care about conceal carrying weapon because we are prepared to fight off "sud- den, lawless attack" of just because we like and can to carry it. In the second case our previous implications can be skipped because owner of the weapon is not preparing to fight with active shooter or defeat the onslaught – he just carries it having the opportuni- ty and favors it. Fairly – how many terrorist attacks were in Poland that were aimed to eliminate as many innocent people as they can? Not many. Speaking frankly… probably not even one… fine, let it keep it that way. In that case we are treating tactical appear- ance and conceal carry as one that fulfills codes and acceptable. If we are prepared to defeat the terrorist attack any- way, and we like very much tactical outfit, we can think about adjusting our wardrobe to serve some- times as a camouflage. Few companies that are mak- ing tactical apparel release in last years a lot of inter- esting concealed carry capable clothes. Mainly those are jeans and checked red shirts but sometimes there are golden nuggets as Concealed Carry sweat suit. If you are preparing for deflecting terrorist attack of self-defense in critical situations, just remember that nothing in your appearance cannot draw attention of potential attacker, and what is more, nothing can suggest him that you can be thread for him. Element of surprise and camouflage is key element four out task to succeed. Suggestion of being soldier or po- liceman off duty, person who is trained in martial arts or using a weapon is getting rid of key advantage, element of surprise. „Military" Murphy's laws are saying: - try to look unimportant; the enemy may be low on ammo and not want to waste a bullet on you. - teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at. Our opinion is that it can be easily translated to civilian world – it speaks about things that we write about. whole point of being grey Man is to blend into urban surroundings, look like most of the peo- ple that we pass by on the streets every day. Jeans, sneakers, checked shirt. Baseball cap without Velcro and blood type. Being average is the weapon in fight with the terrorists, which does not wear the uniform. If you disappear in the crowd, you chances will rise - not many "critical" situations requires drawing gun from IWB holster and shoot- ing "Mozambique" drill that is standing 3 yards from you under one second. Most of them is more about seemingly subordination to attackers commands, making distraction and waiting for the right moment to taking the weapon out in such a way to draw as less attention as it can – one move of the trigger fin- ger on the gun that is aimed to you head will always be quicker than "Mozambique" in 0.94 second. Yes, we know that there are some people who wear suits and purposefully do not conceal their weapons (and not only that). They are wearing suits like uni- forms. Everyone knows who they are and that they have weapons and body armors. Everyone knows because everyone supposed to know, guys from Secret Service show their presence purposefully to scary off potential attackers. another important thing – you can never un- derestimate the enemy. By doing this more than one war was lost. Maybe guy with the assault rifle in the nightclub is desperate, religious fanatic or total nuts. It doesn't matter because he is under state of great stimulation by adrenaline and stress, and his ad- renal cortex throws into blood so gigantic amounts of adrenaline.
