Do You Know The Difference Between Cover & Concealment?

You hear the sound of gun shots would you know how to keep yourself and family members safe? Most people don't because they cant differentiate the difference between cover and concealment so here is a quick post on the difference between the two.

First if you hear the sound of gunshots get low to the ground and seek preferably cover which constitutes any object or barrier that will protect you from being shot. Some examples would include the engine block area of a vehicle, a solid brick wall, or a concrete planter.


Where concealment only serves to hide or obscure your location. It does not provide ballistic protection. Some examples of concealment include bushes, vehicle doors, the interior walls of most structures, and even darkness.

If you can obtain both cover and concealment at the same time you have increased your odds of avoiding getting shot big time.

So when you walk around during the day play a game in your head and see if you can take a look at different objects in your environment and differentiate them as either cover or concealment.
