Given that soldiers assigned to counter terrorist patrol duty (Vigipirate) in my country (France) are thoroughly briefed on weapons disguised as toys with nothing more than a paint coat, someone had to have tried that at some point. Hell, people likely still try it.
1) Terrorists who are planing a one-way trip (happens all the time) and covert ops who already have another identity to assume after that mission (a situation that might happen in tabletop campaigns, even if it is the OpFor) are not average criminals.
2) If you are targeting civvies and are not planning on surviving, or are, for whatever reason, not afraid of the police beyond them spotting you early, you may not care.
3) "suspicious" is a factor of the situational awarenesss. Even highly suspect behavior is unnoticed by the population in my country. People in my country have a *very* low situational awareness.
