    You deescalate, you disengage, you do everything you can to avoid the conflict. If those fail and you remain in danger, you try to grab your gun. The gun isn’t already in your hands, it’s concealed somewhere that isn’t visible and that means you have to make a move for your gun.

    That move might be what gets you killed.

      Concealed firearms are carried in a way that is quick to access. The can be drawn in seconds. If an attacker could kill you in the very short time it would take you to access your firearm, it would probably be a bad idea to draw it in that moment.

      If you chose not to draw a concealed firearm, the you look like you’re unarmed. The alternative is being actually unarmed, which would leave you in the exact same danger, but with less options. Use the weapon when it is to your advantage, keep it concealed when it isn’t.
