Just read up on Cooper's Color Code, having never heard of it before. I've done something similar for years, just being generally aware of my surroundings. If I'm in a crowd like at the zoo or a park, I keep practiced by scanning crowds, watching hands, looking for anything out of place, being aware of exits/cover, etc. Not all the time, that would drive someone crazy, but every now and then to keep fresh so when I ever am in those orange/red situations it would be second nature as to what kind of cover would be best in that particular type of environment, etc.
If I see someone openly carrying a gun in a holster, I am frankly 99% less concerned about them being a threat than the average stranger. If they meant harm, they would most likely not be carrying openly, and an armed fellow citizen can only be an asset in a bad situation, assuming they have even the most basic training of being mindful of what is beyond their target etc.
