Cover is defined as what?

• A. Is any object or group of objects that creates a visual barrier between you and a threat but may not stop projectile
• B. An object or obstacle that creates a bullet-resistant barrier between you and a threat
• C. A distracting object used during training
• D. A barrier that stops bullets completely

Answer: (B)

Cover is a solid barrier that can stop bullets, giving you protection between you and the threat. It provides actual physical safety rather than just hiding you from view. For example, a brick wall, a heavy door, or a parked vehicle can serve as cover when it can resist or deflect bullets. This is different from concealment, which hides you but may not stop bullets. Some barriers aren’t perfect in every situation, but the key idea is that cover offers a bullet-resistant barrier between you and the threat.
