I watch ton of videos on situational awareness while carrying, and the thing i keep hearing is "watch out for people who don't look you straight in the eye and their eyes are darting around or look uneasy"
The thing is I do that. I don't like looking people in the eye. It's something I work on but it doesn't mean I'm going to shank someone or that I'm lying. In fact I suck at lying.

How do I develop skills to differentiate between people who might be looking for trouble and people who might just suck at social interaction like me?

How about a concealed carry/situational awareness general.

"son....if you can't look a man straight in the eye and give him a firm handshake and say 'I connect with you, let's head to a sportsbar and watch the big game' then you shouldn't be allowed to own a gun....in fact what is that you have in your shirt.....G-Lock....looks like a toy, what are you scared of boy? All I need to defend my home is a double barreled 12 gauge my father gave me and the ol' one and two right hook. In fact...give me that thing I don't think you're ready to carry it"

I would really like to get one of those vest. What are the odds I'll get stopped and searched by the police for wearing meme clothes?

Shave your beard in the shape of a glock logo so the cops will know you are a good guy with a gun. DOn't forget to also buy a concealed carry badge.

>HURR DURR KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR X

I really hate motherfuckers who carry with this mindset like they're looking for trouble. You people are going to get killed and it's going to be no one's fault but your own.

>putting yourself in, or looking for danger with a weapon meant for self defense
>>
>>34470266
You dont.
Truly.

Your at 711 buying a pack of smokes, or getting a gatoraide..jamal busts goes to the register and demands $.

You never expected it, you never saw it coming, you where not ready.

The only diffrence is..

Person A. Does not have a weapon
Person B. Has a CCW

Which person do you want to be in that situation.

Beyond always checking your surroundings and shooting weekly with your pistol.

>theres nothing else you can be expected to do
>>
Nobody gives a fuck about your problems

Take it to /soc/ and don't come back

Look at peoples feet. You can count the number of people near you by counting feet and take note of the footwear they wear than you can place them in groups in your head, assess the threat from each one.

Situational Awareness isn't about watching out for the guy walking past you whose gonna try somethingg. It's paying attention to everything and realizing that pack of ne'erdowells who eyeballed you as they passed and changed direction to follow you are a potential threat that should take you to orange from yellow. Or aggressive yelling in a gas station, or popping noises at school. Noticing the lights in a parking garage are busted. Small things like that. And not being on your phone while you're moving around. Stuff like that. Shifty people are just shifty. I was at a bar and saw a guy get coldcocked. The only headsup the victim had was the aggressor calmly putting his bag down. Be vigilant and polite and 9/10 you'll be fine.

I just shoot anyone who is socially awkward near me.
They will be too embarrassed to sue you anyway but might write a longass anonymous email to the local sheriff, who is obviously your range buddy already.

Just go to a thrift store and buy oversized short sleeve Aloha shirts. Done.
