         12 . The ballistics garment of  claim 11  wherein the primary layer further comprises a first long flap including the first surface and a second long flap including a second surface wherein the first long flap and the second long flap are attached together forming a protrusion with a large surface area for attachment to ballistics clothing. 
     
     
         13 . The ballistics garment of  claim 12  wherein the firearm holster further comprises a second attachment layer attached along the second surface of the primary layer. 
     
     
         14 . The ballistics garment of  claim 12  wherein the primary layer further comprises a first short flap including a portion of the first surface and a second short flap including a portion of the second surface wherein the first short flap and the second short flap form a trigger guard cover to laterally cover the trigger guard section of a firearm stored in the firearm holster but wherein the first short flap and the second short flap are not attached together so as to leave the trigger guard cover open along the edges of the first short flap and the second short flap such that a firearm can be easily rotated out of the pocket.
