Quoted: Other than a trashbag, or hobo outfit, what's a good urban camo? I'm looking for setup that's durable and made for hard concrete, asphalt. Anyone have a setup like this? Post a pic for ideas? Let me clarify; I don't needa gun setup but a camo/outfit that: 1. Doesn't make me look like the one white tourist walking outside. 2. That shows I'm prepared to fuck you up if you try me. Yeah, baby! You will definitely give off that bad@$$ vibe in these threads! 3. That doesn't look ghetto so as any leo's don't get the wrong idea by looking at me. Oh, no, they won't. It really is at this point now. Edit#3: So the situation down herenin downtown Atlanta, has gotten to where the trash has moved into the city to roll people. There is no leo presence. Period. I've always carried under the threat of something going south. That something is now a certain and carrying a concealed 20 rd while blending in isn't going to cut it. Hence the need to start slinging a long gun and a sidearm. So with that in mind, talk to me. Based on Op's criteria, here is the perfect outfit: Uh, looks like there is only one place to conceal that Webley .....

I still wear woodland BDU pants, a t-shirt, and a hoodie. I look like 90% of the homeless bums around here.
A cheap ripstop day pack, sneakers, and a sock hat complete to the ensemble. Just gotta stay woke and ready to yell... |

Grey man, you don't want to stand out. Old earth tone clothes, nothing eye-catching..... old nondescript baseball hat with no logos, old nondescript jacket and pants, again all with no logos if it can be avoided.

I'm gonna try to give a serious answer.
1st I figure you're joking about a rifle. If it's time to open carry a rifle it's time to be moving from cover to cover with friends. Otherwise you might scare some folks away, but then again you could just get domed. 2. Good flexible clothes that allow movement and don't scream money. Second hand fatigue pants, wrangler relaxed fit jeans, baggy shirt that can hide a near full sized pistol and reload. 3. shoes you can run in and fight in. 4. I'd look for a secondary weapon that can be easily accessed with your weak side arm. Fixed blade knife, kubaton or tac light. And practice with it, and practice unconventional draws. 5. concealable armor if you can get away with it. 6. head on a swivel/situational awareness is your number one tool. |

You dont need special shit to blend in with concrete and asphalt either, your a human being on two legs... Your not gonna blend in to the back ground in the city.. Plus, if your the only white guy on your block your gonna stand out and be a target no matter what you have.. Again this whole thread is nothing more then you wanting advice on how to draw attention to you self on the false premise that the locals are gonna see your fancy new outfit and quake in there boots... Its comical..

We have been into down town ATL a few times this week. It is pretty much the same as it ever was. Plenty of police, plenty of homeless. Plenty of people out walking. Less vehicle traffic and more stores closed down were the only noticeable differences. I carried a P320 X-Compact, 15+1 with two 20 round back up mags. I was carrying plenty. No need to go all out and rock a rifle. I was down by UG Atlanta and the court house area too which is known to be a little sporty. It was boring though.
There are a fuck ton of agencies and armed security in the down town area of Atlanta. City, MARTA, SO, Congress center, GSU, GA Tech, GA State Patrol, Uniformed Fed, and a bunch of armed security around the Omni and CNN areas. That's just what I can name off the top of my head, I'm sure I am forgetting a few. I'm not sure I believe groups are running around robbing people. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sounds like every other day. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Blatant gangs robbing people in broad daylight. Nothing to deter them. Zero police presence. Sounds like every other day. Yeah, no shit. If something that bad is happening in your AO, a smart man will figure out somewhere else to be. Unless his entire reason for being there is to ‘swap lead with baddies’. In which case; leave your good stuff with trusted friends, that way when your corpse is looted by your adversaries, they don’t get your top of the line gear. Not that you’ll be needing it anymore, but still... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: As someone from the DC ghetto area you're going to get tuned up walking around looking like a cop once people realize you're not.  Best survival method is to not look like LEO or another gang. Work wear is the way to go in my experiences. This guy gets it.....Even during the height of the crack wars in DC I never even heard tell of any construction workers getting robbed. It's like men wearing work clothes were kryptonite to the gobblins.

What part of downtown ATL are you trying to blend into? Northside or L5P maybe a prominent man bun and the biggest ear gauges that will fit. Moreland Ave? buckle your belt around your knees and your best hoodie. Midtown? Break out your assless chaps and best makeup.
Up here in North Fulton I just drive last year's Mercedes instead of the new one when making a TP run, and all the hooligans think I'm just the gardener and leave me alone. |

Urban camo?
Carhartt pants and jacket, a metal clipboard, and a sense of purpose. Add a well worn tool bag if you want to take it to the next level. That ensemble will get you through almost any door or through almost any crowd. |

Karambit on the right front, auto or flipper or assisted knife back left pocket. Dress loose, hide your stuff under your clothes, don't worry about the rifle. |
