Carrying a firearm around as a civilian might not be possible or advisable. However, there are some covert tactical gears that can be carried about without attracting much attention. Here are top 5 covert gears you can carry around as a civilian.

1. Newspapers & Magazines

Probably the most inconspicuous weapon, a regular magazine can be used as an improvised weapon for self-defense. Today, it is now being taught to special forces and intelligence operatives. If you want to get a brick-like strength from the magazine, you just have to roll it up tight and hold it in the right spot.

2. Tactical Flashlight

A great tactical flashlight can come in handy as a stun weapon and for inflicting non-lethal blows. A tactical flashlight is designed to emit over 20 times more brightness than a regular flashlight. This makes it a great weapon for causing distraction in the face of danger. Tactical flashlights are built with strong materials, often with a metal bottom that can be used in tightly contested situations. Trust me, you would probably get hurt if you got hit by it.

3. Tactical Pen

If you want to set up an EDC kit, you must have a tactical pen. Also known as a survival pen, they give you more effectiveness and lethal potency than a normal pen. If you find yourself in a dangerous position or get jumped by an attacker, a tactical pen is a great gear you would like to have on you. All you need is to have an inch or stick out your fist as you hold it, and then use it to poke holes in the fleshy parts of your attacker. This way, you would give a blow that is fatal enough to afford you enough time to make an escape.
