You must make sure that everything you carry and wear is tactical. Tactical watch, tactical pistol, tactical shoe laces, tactical pen, tactical boxers, etc. Just make sure it's all tactical. Nothing else will do.
...and a backup wallet with a tactical reload in a money clip.
I agree, they are too busy texting and looking at their cell phone, situational awareness is a term that has become nearly extinct.

Yes, been wanting one for years and Seiko updated the Alpinist for 2020, adding about $150 to the price and a cyclops date window which I don't really care for. So when I found a 2019 one around Christmas for a decent price I couldn't pass it up. It replaces my SARB033 I've been wearing for years which is just a tad too "dressy" for what I normally wear outside the house.

I'm an office rat 5 days a week so I tuck in my shirt everyday. most things are pretty well concealed behind the shirt or vest (vests are amazing concealment garments).

I'm also a big Citizen fan and typically wear a watch any time I leave the homestead. If I'm wearing pants, I have a knife in my pocket and usually something designed more for violence than utility. Keys, cell phone and one of a handful of carry guns. More often than not, a Ruger LC9 and no reload.
I work from home and since we've been in quarantine, I don't carry a pistol every day. I just walk from one bunker (home) to another (shop).

I always carry a folding knife and a pocket flashlight, regardless where I am. I also have extra knives and lights placed around the house and in all my vehicles along with trauma kits in every vehicle, the garage, and in the pantry.
If I’m carrying a gun, it’ll be a Glock of some sort...usually a 9MM, generally my G43X these days. Been carrying a G30 off and on lately...no real reason other than it’s a .45 and I like it. I also have a firearm or two hidden away around my house.
Guns are almost always worn OWB. Usually carry a spare mag on my person, but always in the truck.

This is my typical load-out:
LCP w extended mag /spare original mag
Streamlight microstream
Freebie inkpen
Cellphone
Wallet with at least two spare Benjamins / credit cards
Leatherman wave
Two handkerchiefs (always)
Cheapo Digital wristwatch with light.
I headed south with the family for a week-long road trip. I will upgrade to my 9mm ccw for the trip.

I carry several bandanas and hand towels in all my vehicles, but why I never carried one on my person, I don't know. There are SO MANY USES for this item!!!
I just put one in my "dump bin" (where I keep my car keys and wallet) for the next time I walk out of the house...
Thanks much!

Every day, no matter what:
Left front pocket : cell phone.
Right Front pocket : empty
Right rear pocket : Benchmade Griptilian
Left rear pocket : Wallet (with spare housekey)
Right cargo pocket : G19 in a large Remora
Left cargo pocket : 1 spare 15rd mag and Streamlight, in a two mag pouch
Belt loop : carabiner with keys and Fenix minilight
Left wrist : analog watch
Front chest pocket : reading glasses
It's not hard nor heavy, and since I'm almost always in Wrangler Riggs work pants or cargo shorts (assuming that I'm WFH / don't have to go into the office), I don't look tactical or scream 'GUN!" when I'm out-and-about.
There is almost never a day that I don't use that Streamlight or Griptilian.

Cell phone in front left pocket. Billfold, change, and a Case Sodbuster in right front pocket. Sodbuster behind billfold so only the outline of the billfold prints (that, and it rides better). Sidearm in a belt holster on right hip at ~2:45/3. Back right pocket is generally occupied by a speed square or combination square, and a claw hammer of some variation rides at 8:00. Got tired of it being in the way. Hankerchief normally rides in rear left pocket (gotta figure out what to do with the claw hammer now...). Lighter or matches in shirt chest pocket (and no, I ain't addicted to cancer sticks).

Lots of Benchmade knives mentioned. My favorites.
"....The people who it might be worth considering hiding a gun from aren't the ones with their faces in their phone. It's people who are used to seeing and identifying weapons who are the ones to be concerned about."
I'll 2nd that. Rod
