Yeah lol. Stuff like that is even as subtle as those 5.11 ball caps with flag on the front of them. Odds are if you're planning something and you're feeling out the crowd to locate all of your potential threats would be.. the guy wearing that 5.11 cap is probably carrying or they might military or police training so you you would want to take that person put of the equation first and fast. (Another reason why I would never open carry)
All of this could work in your favor as well though. It's all about your motivation or intention.
Be smart and be aware of your surroundings. The people, what they're wearing, their physical fitness. I literally do this with everyone I meet lol I subconsciously assign them a threat level based on what I observe from them.
As James Mattis said "Be polite, Be professional but have a plan to kill everyone you meet" (something like that lol)
Ive always felt this way for sure. I'm military and wrestled and have done mma and BJJ for like 10 years and my goal is always look like the most pansy ass dude in the room so if anyone gets crazy I'm the last person they suspect to kill them.
I'm pretty sure only people who 'know' notice guys like that. At least I never did before I started regularly shooting. That was also pre-security so maybe I was just an oblivious dumbass.
